• Before using for the first time, check
if the dustbag is placed correctly.
• In the hand grip, in the hose and in
the electric power brush are
electrical conductors.
To prevent disfunctioning:
- Do not clean these items with
water.
- Do not vacuum in sharp objects.
- Regularly check the hose and the
hand grip for damage.
- Replace a damaged hose or hand
grip immediately.
• Never suck up water (or any other
liquid). Never pick up ashes until
they are cold.
• When picking up fine dust, the pores
of the dustbag may become clogged.
This will obstruct the air passage.
Subsequently, the dustbag needs
replacement, although the bag
might be far from full.

Getting the vacuum cleaner ready for use:
Connecting the hose: press firmly ("Click!")
(fig. 1).
- To disconnect: press the knob (1) and pull
(2) the hose out of the vacuum cleaner (fig. 2).
- To connect the nozzle, the (telescopic)
tube and the handgrip: insert the narrow
section into the wider section while turning it
a little (fig. 3).
- To disconnect: pull the narrow section out
of the wider section while turning it a little.
To adjust the telescopic tube to the
required length: grasp the plastic ring and
pull out the upper tube as far as necessary
(fig. 4). Lock the telescopic tube in position by
releasing the plastic ring.
Nozzles:
- Combi nozzle. This nozzle is convertible for
use on either carpets (without brush,
fig. 5) or hard floors (with brush, fig. 6);
- Small nozzle, brush nozzle and crevice
nozzle. These can be found in the special
storage compartment (fig. 7-11);
Pull the mains plug out of the vacuum
cleaner (fig. 12) and insert into the wall
socket.
Press the on/off switch (
I) (fig. 13).
Pilot light “STAND BY” comes on.
The remote control enables you to adjust
suction power from the hand grip (fig. 14).
In the STAND BY position, the appliance is
switched on but not running. If you reactivate
the vacuum cleaner from STAND BY position,
it will start to run at the lowest suction
power. Push the control slide towards MAX
until the required suction power has been
reached.
Medium suction power is advisable for
general use.
Minimum suction power is advisable for
dusting using the brush nozzle and for cleaning
curtains, cloths, etc.
Maximum suction power is advisable for
cleaning very dirty carpets and hard floors.
Insufficient suction power?
Please check:
- if the control on the hand grip is in the
required position;
- if the dustbag is full;
- if the nozzle, tube or hose is blocked up.
To remove the obstruction, disconnect the
blocked-up item and connect it (as far as
possible) in adverse position. Then the air will
stream through the item in opposite direction.
