PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
IMPORTANT!Beforeusingtheapplianceforthersttime,openthelid(4)andcheck
thatthemotorlter(20-21),exhaustlter(18-19)anddustbagaretted(seethe
sectionsonreplacementofltersanddustbagbelow).
• Attachthehose(3)totheappliancebyinsertingthehoseconnector(17)inthe
holeonthehoseconnectorport(5)onthetopoftheappliance,untilyouheara
click.
o To remove the hose, press the lock buttons (16) on both sides of the hose
connector and pull the hose out of the appliance.
• Assemblethetwopiecesofthepipe(13).
• Attachthehandle(2)tooneendofthepipeandattachtheoornozzle(15)to
the other end of the pipe.
USE
• Pullthecord(8)outoftheappliance.Thecordmustnotbepulledoutany
further than the red mark. Plug in and switch on the power.
• PresstheOn/Offbutton(12)tostartandstoptheappliance.
• Whileinuse,thesuctionforcecanberegulatedbyopeningandclosingtheair
valve (1) on the handle.
o When the valve is closed, full suction is achieved. This is the normal setting.
o When the vent opens, more air is allowed in, reducing the suction power at
theoornozzle.Thisfunctionisidealforcleaningcurtainsandotherlight
items which can get sucked into the nozzle.
• Theoornozzlebristleshavetwosettingswhichcanbeselectedusingthe
brush function button (14) on top of the nozzle.
oWhencleaninghardsurfaces(stoneooring,tiles,etc.),thenozzlebrushes
should be extended.
o When cleaning carpets and rugs, the brushes should be retracted into the
nozzle.
• Thebagchangeindicator(6)willnormallybedarkblue.Ifitchangestoorange
whenthevacuumcleanerisinuse,orifthesuctionstrengthissignicantly
reduced, the dust bag must be replaced (refer to Replacing dust bag below). If
the indicator remains orange after the bag has been replaced, it may be due to
one of the following reasons:
o The hose or nozzle is clogged.
oTheexhaustlterisdirty.
Investigate what is causing the indicator to remain orange and deal with the
problem. The appliance must not be used if the indicator is orange. This may
cause irreparable damage to the motor.
