INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new vacuum cleaner, please read through these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. We
also recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can remind yourself later of the functions of your
vacuum cleaner.
SAFETY MEASURES
• The vacuum cleaner, cord or plug must not be placed in water or any other liquid.
• Never touch the vacuum cleaner, cord or plug with wet or damp hands.
• Never leave the vacuum cleaner unattended when it is switched on. Children should be supervised when they use the vacuum
cleaner.
• Switch the vacuum cleaner off and unplug it when it is not in use, and before you empty the dust container or clean the air filter.
• Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead, hold the plug. Keep hold of the plug when rewinding the
cord, so that it does not strike the vacuum cleaner. Keep the cord and appliance away from heat sources, hot objects and naked
flames.
• Never use the appliance if it, the cord or plug is damaged or if the appliance is not functioning correctly. Never use the vacuum
cleaner without an air filter.
• Only use accessories manufactured or recommended by the manufacturer.
• The appliance is for indoor use only. Do not use the appliance on wet surfaces. Take particular care when vacuuming stairs, due to
the risk of falling.
• Do not use the appliance to clean up matches, hot ashes, cigarette butts, hard or sharp objects, wet or damp substances,
combustible materials (petrol, solvents, etc.) or vapour from these.
• Do not cover the appliance’s suction or exhaust port. Ensure that you keep clothing, hair and body parts away from the nozzle and
moving parts of the vacuum cleaner.
• Never try to repair the appliance yourself. If the appliance, cord or plug needs to be repaired, it should be taken to an authorised
service centre. Contact your retailer if the repairs fall under the terms of the guarantee.

• Fit the telescopic tube (4) into the other end of the hose, and attach the floor nozzle (1) to the end of the tube.
• You can adjust the length of the telescopic tube by pushing the locking mechanism (2) down and pulling on the bottom section of
the tube until it reaches a suitable length. When parking, shorten the tube as far as possible.
• The vacuum cleaner’s two special nozzles (16 and 17) are used for particular vacuuming tasks (see under Use). Remove the floor
nozzle and fit the special nozzle required to the end of the telescopic tube.
USE

power on.
• Press the on/off button (13) to start and stop the vacuum cleaner.
• While in use, the suction strength can be regulated by opening and closing the air valve (5) on the handle at the end of the hose.
• The suction strength can also be adjusted electronically using the button for controlling suction strength (10). Suction strength
increases when the button is pushed towards “MAX", and reduced when it is pushed towards “MIN".
