wall socket to save energy.

using the appliance

The power of this cordless stick vacuum cleaner cannot be compared with that of a full-size

standard vacuum cleaner. Its cleaning performance on soft floors may not entirely match that of a

standard vacuum cleaner, but its cleaning performance on hard floors is just as good.

using the stick

You can use the stick to clean floors and carpets.
When you use the stick, always make sure the dust compartment is attached to the handheld

vacuum cleaner, to prevent damage to the handheld vacuum cleaner.

Place the handheld vacuum cleaner properly in the stick (‘click’). (Fig. 5)

Press the on/off button on the stick to switch on the appliance (Fig. 8).

time and minimal noise. The operating time at this speed is more than 20 minutes.

happens, you have to remove the item that is blocking the brush or clean the brush (see chapter

‘Cleaning’).

cleaner from the stick during use, you can use the parking position. Push the stick towards
