Preparing the vacuum cleaner
Attach the hose to the vacuum cleaner by inserting it into the hose connector until
you hear a click. To remove the hose, press the buttons at the side of the hose and
pull it out of the hose connector.
Fit the telescopic tube (3) into the other end of the hose, and attach the floor nozzle
(1) to the end of the tube.
You can adjust the length of the telescopic tube by pushing the locking mechanism
(2) down and pulling on the bottom section of the tube until it reaches a suitable
length. When parking, shorten the tube as far as possible.
Using Your Vacuum Cleaner.
Pull the cord out of the vacuum cleaner. The cord must not be pulled out any
further than the red mark. Plug in and switch the power on.
Press the on/off button (11) to start and stop the vacuum cleaner.
While in use, the suction strength can be regulated by opening and closing the air
valve (6) on the handle at the end of the hose.
The floor nozzle has two settings. When cleaning hard surfaces (parquet flooring,
flooring tiles, etc.), the nozzle brushes should be extended. When cleaning carpets
and rugs, the brushes should be retracted into the nozzle.
Press the brush change button on the floor cleaning tool to switch between
the two settings.
If, during vacuuming, you need to pause to move furniture etc., you can place the
floor nozzle in the parking holder using the fixture on the back of the nozzle.
