compartmenttocheckmotorlteranddustbagarecorrectlytted(seeReplacing
lteranddustbagbelow).
• The remote control in the handle (16) uses 2 AAA batteries.
o Remove the cover to the battery compartment (17) by depressing the lock
dowel, lifting off the cover and place batteries.
o Check plus and minus poles are correctly aligned since incorrectly inserted
batteriesmaydamagetheappliance.Seethe+and–symbolsinthebattery
compartment.
o Click the battery cover back into place.
• Fit the hose (18) by inserting it into the hose connector (3) so that the dowels
(22) click into place and the hose is securely attached.
• Fit telescopic tube (14) at opposite end of hose. Adjust the length of the
telescopic tube by pushing the lock button (13) in the direction of the arrows and
pulling or pushing the lower section of the tube.
• Fit the nozzle required (19 or 21) to the telescopic tube.
USE
• Pull the cord (11) out of the appliance. The cord may not be pulled out further
than the red mark. Plug in and switch on the power.
• Press the on/off button (7) to start and stop the appliance.
• Suction is regulated using the control buttons (15) on the handle:
