Mounting of accessories

the appliance housing.
• Attach the telescopic pipe in order to enlarge the manoeuvre
range. The telescopic pipe is attached to the set. Its mounting
method is presented in figures. 2.1 and 2.2.
• At the end of the pipe, mount a suitable brush attachment
(Fig.2.3).
Selection of brush attachment
The vacuum cleaner kit contains three attachments: a universal suction brush, a small, oblong
suction nozzle and a gap-cleaner. In the vacuum cleaner cover, there is a useful compartment to
store the small suction nozzle and the gap-cleaner.
• Suction brush:
The suction brush, depending on the surface to be
cleaned, can switch between its working modes; this can
be achieved by means of pressing a special button. The
button (suction) pressed forwards enables the cleaning
of soft surfaces, such as carpets or carpeting-lined areas.
Pressing the button backwards activates the brushing
mode. You can then clean hard surfaces made of wood,
synthetic materials or stone. See Fig. 3.1
• Small, oblong suction nozzle:
It is particularly useful when cleaning upholstery.
• Gap-cleaner:
To remove dust from places that are difficult to access (located by skirting boards and in gaps)
use the gap-cleaning suction attachment.
Thanks to a special add-on, this attachment can be used as a small brush; this is particularly
useful in the cleaning of badly accessible and uneven surfaces, i.e..: books and picture frames.
