Remote control operation
The remote control has three buttons with which you operate the vacuum cleaner. With the ‘+’ and

Note: If you unplug the appliance without switching it off with the on/off button, the appliance
remembers the last selected setting (including the standby mode) of the remote control when you plug it
in again.
