Mounting accessories (Fig. F)
The Brush / crevice tool (18) can be used
as a crevice tool or an upholstery brush.
The crevice tool allows for vacuuming in
narrow and hard-to-reach places. The
brush tool allows for vacuuming on
furniture, blinds, curtains, windows and
stairs.
• Push the accessory onto the hose
handle (1) or the tube (9).
• To remove an accessory, pull the
accessory from the hose nozzle or the
tube.
Selecting the crevice tool or brush tool
(Fig. G)
• To use the crevice tool, move the brush
part against the direction of the arrow.
• To use the brush tool, move the brush
part in the direction of the arrow.
Use
Unwinding and rewinding the power
cord
The cord rewind button (4) can be operated
by hand or foot.
• Pull a sufficient length of cord from the
back of the appliance.
• After use, press the cord rewind button
(4) to retract the cord (10) into the unit.
Manually guide the cord to ensure it
does not swing back. Ensure the plug is
correctly located.
Adjusting the suction head (Fig. H)
• For vacuuming on carpets, push the rear
of the actuator (12) into the down
position – this engages the brush.
• For vacuuming on laminates, tiles, etc.,
push the front of the actuator (12) down
- the brush will lift clear of the floor.
Switching on and off
The on/off switch (3) can be operated by
hand or foot.
• To switch the appliance on, press the
on/off switch (3).
• To switch the appliance off, press the
on/off switch again.
Setting the suction force
The variable suction control (2) allows for a
precise setting of the suction force. For
vacuuming on a hard surface (e.g. floors),
choose a high speed setting. For vacuuming
on soft surfaces (e.g. upholstery), choose a
low speed setting.
Rotate the selector to the desired setting.
Adjusting the airflow (Fig. I)
Move the airflow control switch (1B) to
adjust the airflow as desired.
Vacuuming
• When operating the appliance, make sure
that the hose is not trapped, twisted or
blocked.
• In case of overheating, a cut-out will
operate and the appliance will
automatically stop.
• If the appliance stops operating, unplug
the appliance and allow it to cool for 2-3
hours before continuing. Ensure the filters
are cleaned and the unit is blockage free
before switching back on.
Hints for optimum use
When vacuuming stairs, always start at the
bottom and work your way up. Position the
appliance on the floor and do the stairs until
halfway. Then carry the appliance to a
stable position which is at least one stair
below your working position, and do the top
half of the stairs.
Carrying the appliance
During use the appliance can be carried
using the carrying handle (7).
Temporarily parking the suction head
(Fig. J)
• Use the park position on the rear of the
unit for a temporary parking of the
suction head.
