Regulating the suction (dia. 16)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power will make
the floorhead easier to manoeuvre.
Some models also have symbols on the
controls which indicate the type of use
the settings are suitable for:
#
- curtains, lightweight fabrics
$
- upholstery, cushions
%
- thick pile carpets, rugs and
runners
*
- for daily energy-saving vacuuming
(this setting is also very quiet)
(
- loop-pile carpets
)
- hard flooring and for intensive
cleaning of carpets
^
Turn the suction power selector
manually to the suction power setting
you require.
Opening the air inlet valve (dia. 17)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the
vacuum cleaner.
^
Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the suction power.
The floorhead will be easier to
manoeuvre. Close the valve when you
are ready to use full power again.
During vacuuming (dia. 18)
When vacuuming especially fine
dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electro-
static charges build up naturally.
Under certain conditions these
charges will be released. To avoid
the unpleasant effects of these
discharges, a metal inlay has been
incorporated into the underside of
the handle. Please make sure that
you keep your hand in constant
contact with this metal strip during
vacuuming.
Setting down, transportation
and storage
Parking system for pauses in
vacuuming (dia. 19)
The parking system allows you to
conveniently park the vacuum cleaner
during pauses.
^
Slot the floorhead into the parking
attachment at the back of the
vacuum cleaner.
If the vacuum cleaner is on a
sloping suface, e.g. a ramp
- retract the telescopic suction tube
fully
- do not use the parking system with
an EasyLock suction tube.
