• The crevice tool can be used with or without the extender tube and can be used to remove pet hair,
lint and dust from awkward, hard to reach places.
Note: The small brush is part of the crevice tool. To store it, turn it back, parallel to the crevice tool.
SUCTION CONTROL
• Different carpets/surfaces may require different levels of suction. For example, you may find the
floor tool suction is too strong on a tight loop-pile carpet causing the tool to grip the surface and
push surface debris along. In this instance, reducing the suction by opening the nozzle suction
control will allow the floor tool to glide more easily over the carpet surface.
There are two suction controls on this vacuum cleaner:
a) Use the nozzle suction control to reduce the grip the tools apply to the surfaces being cleaned.
Move it away from the nozzle end to reduce suction or move towards the nozzle end for maximum
suction.
b) Use the variable speed control to reduce the suction power and volume of air being drawn into the
vacuum. Use this when cleaning more delicate materials such as drapes. Slide the control towards
the cord rewind button to increase suction power; slide it towards the on/off
button to
decrease suction power.
PLUG IN
Caution: If you have accidentally pressed the power on/off button , the vacuum cleaner will come
on when you plug it in.
• Plug the power cord into a wall power outlet near the area to be cleaned, and switch the power on.
SWITCHING ON
• Press and release the power on/off
button to turn the cleaner on.
CLEANING
• Move the tool over the surface, cleaning a small area at a time.
• When you move to a new area, overlap the previous area to make sure none of the surface
is missed.
SWITCHING OFF
• If you would like to change tools or if you have finished vacuuming, press and release the
power on/off button to turn the cleaner off.
FINISHED CLEANING?
• Switch the power off and remove the plug from the wall power outlet.
• Stand clear of the cord, press and hold the cord rewind button .
• Keep clear of the cord, as it rewinds quite quickly and can flick up or catch on corners and furniture.
If the cord does catch on an object, release the rewind button and it will discontinue rewinding.
• If the power cord does not retract fully into the unit you may need to pull it out a little, and then
press and hold the cord rewind button again. You may need to push the plug end into the storage
area manually.
REMOVING AND EMPTYING THE BIN
• In order to maintain maximum performance, empty the dustbin after each use.
The cleaner will continue to work until the dustbin is full, but you may find a loss of performance as
it nears capacity.
• Switch the power off, remove the plug from the wall power outlet, and leave for a minute to allow
the dust settle.
• Lift the bin handle and pull the bin upwards out of the cleaner.
• Lower the dust bin into your rubbish bin so the bottom of the dust bin is below the rim. This
prevents dust dispersing into the air.
