filters
Keep the filters clean – if they get blocked, you’ll lose suction rapidly.
fitting the hose
1 Turn the hose end, to align the lock with the inlet in the front of the cleaner.
2 Push the hose end into the inlet. You’ll hear a click as it locks into position.
3 Give it a gentle tug to check it’s fitted properly.
cable
4 Pull as much cable as you need from the back of the cleaner.
5 The yellow band round the cable tells you there’s about a metre left.
6 The red band about half a metre later tells you “Stop pulling, you’ve run out of cable!”.
7 Keep an eye on the cable so it doesn’t catch on anything, or trip anyone (including you).
carrying and moving the cleaner
8 Lift the cleaner only by the carrying handle.
9 When the cleaner is sitting on its wheels (normal position), you can move it around by pulling
gently (that’s gently), on the hose.
10 For stationary jobs like curtains, you may sit the cleaner up, with the hose at the top, but
don’t try to move it like this, or it’ll fall over.
choose the tool for the job
11 The tools will fit on the nozzle, or on the narrow end of either tube.
12 You’ll have your own preferences, but here are few tips for the first time user.
big brush
normally used with the extendable tube, for floors and carpets:
Press the rear of the brush pedal to extend the bristles for floor coverings with
little or no pile.
Press the front of the brush pedal to retract the bristles for use on rugs, carpets,
and anything with pile.
vinyl brush
you can use the big brush on vinyl, and parquet, but the vinyl brush is designed
just for these surfaces – use it if you have to clean a large vinyl or parquet area
turbo brush
normally used with the extendable tube, for floors and carpets, this has a
rotating brush, powered by suction, for deeper cleaning.
crevice tool
as the name implies, down the sides of upholstery, in awkward spaces, nooks,
and crannies nothing else can reach.
small brush
use it to remove pet hair, lint, and dust from blinds, and curtains, and to brush/
clean awkward corners.
sofa brush
use this to remove pet hair, lint, and dust from upholstery, and other small, flat
areas – don’t use it on hanging curtains, as it doesn’t have the bristles necessary
to let air flow freely, use the small brush instead.
13 We suggest the big brush for the daily clean, the turbo for the weekly deep clean.
tubes
14 The tubes are identical, the narrow end of one fits the wide end of the other, or any of the
tools, to provide extra length where needed, for floors, carpets, or hard to reach places:
15 Push the wide end of the tube on to the nozzle.
16 Choose a tool, and push it on the narrow end of the tube or nozzle.
suction control
17 There are two ways to control the suction:
a) The suction control on the top rear of the cleaner – turn it clockwise to increase the
cleaning power, anti-clockwise to decrease the power (it’s also the on/off switch
3
).
b) The suction control on the nozzle – move it towards the nozzle for maximum suction,
away from the nozzle, to reduce suction.
