Vacuuming
^ When vacuuming, pull the cleaner
behind you on its wheels. You can
stand it upright for vacuuming stairs
and curtains etc.
,
When vacuuming especially fine
dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc.,
electrostatic charges build up
naturally. Under certain conditions
these charges will be released. To
avoid the unpleasant effects of these
discharges, a metal inlay has been
incorporated into the underside of
the handle. Make sure that you keep
your hand in constant contact with
this metal strip during vacuuming.
Switching the Electrobrush on
and off
The Electrobrush is switched on
separately from the vacuum cleaner by
pressing the j button on the handle.
This means that you can switch the
Electrobrush off during vacuuming and
the vacuum cleaner will continue to
operate using suction only. This is
useful when moving from vacuuming a
fitted carpet to a rug, for example.
