Vacuum Cleaner User Guide

Operating your Vacuum Cleaner

1: Extend the power cord: 

Gently pull the cord from the recess located in the rear of the cleaner. The 
cord has two marks. The yellow mark shows the maximum safe length to 
which you can extend the cord. If you can see the red mark the cord has 
been lengthened too much. Never extend the cord beyond the red mark 
or you may damage the cord winding mechanism.

2: To rewind the cord: 

Unplug the cord. Press the cord rewind switch as indicated. Gently guide 
the cord by hand into the cleaner until it is fully rewound. Do not let the 
cord return unaided or it may whip and cause damage or injury.

3: Switch the Cleaner on

Press the Mains ON/OFF switch to switch the cleaner ON. (Press again to 
switch the power OFF)

5:  Adjust the Airflow

The suction can be fine-controlled by moving the airflow slider in the 
hose handle.

When vacuuming:

Move the vacuum head back and forth over the surface. Use even 
strokes. Do not press- let the cleaner do the work.

Using the Accessories

The Floor Brush

 

The Floor Brush can be used on 
carpets or bare floors.

Bare Floors:

 Press the side of 

the lever with the Brush Sym-
bol. The brush will appear .

Carpets:

 Press the side of the 

lever with the Floor symbol to 
retract the floor brush.

The Crevice Tool 

The Crevice Tool is a dual-purpose tool. Use 
it extended to vacuum down the side of 
cushions, etc. Turn the head through 90º to 
clean curtains, etc.

General Do’s and Don’ts

•  Do NOT attach or remove accessories when the vacuum cleaner is 

switched on.

•  Do NOT pull the cleaner around the room by the hose.
•  Do NOT over extend the hose. Trying to reach beyond the hose 

length could cause an accident.

•  Be especially careful on stairs. 

NEVER clean stairs while standing 

below the cleaner. Securely site the cleaner and stand at the same 
level or slightly above the cleaner.

•  Do NOT pull or carry the cleaner by the cord, close a door on the 

cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do  not over 
extend the cord. Switch the cleaner off and move it to a closer 
power point. Use just enough cord to do the job.

•  Use the carry handle to lift or move the cleaner. If you are moving 

the cleaner a long way or up a flight of stairs, switch off, rewind 
the power cord and park the accessories.

•  Examine the dust level and empty the dust cup regularly.
•  NEVER let the dust exceed the MAX level 

Clearing a Blockage

If the cleaner loses suction  this may be due to clogged filters or a block-
age.  DO NOT operate the cleaner if the suction is impaired.

If you suspect a blockage: 

Switch off and unplug the cleaner imme-

diately. Empty the dust, check all the filters and clean them. 

If this does not remove the blockage: 

Check the hose, extension 

tube and accessories visually and remove any blockage with a stick or 
broom handle.
