Vacuuming using the suction
hose
,
Do not use the suction hose at
head level to avoid the risk of injury,
e.g. to eyes and ears.
,
It is not advisable to vacuum
directly with the suction hose, i.e.
without an accessory attached, as
the handle end of the hose could get
damaged and you could hurt
yourself on sharp edges.
,
To prevent the risk of injury when
vacuuming the stairs, ensure the
cleaner is placed in a stable position
at the bottom of the stairs, or on one
of the lower steps.
^
Raise the vacuum cleaner into the
vertical position.
^
To access the suction tube handle,
press the release button on the
telescopic wand.
^
To increase stability, turn the elbow
joint at the bottom of the hose
downwards as illustrated until it clicks
into position above the retainer.
During normal vacuuming with the
cleaner the suction tube handle
should be stowed away on the
telescopic wand. Make sure the
handle is also correctly hooked into
its holder on the cleaner (see detail
in the top illustration).
