When using the AirTeQ
floorhead, if the suction seems too
high, reduce the suction until the
floorhead is easier to manouevre.
Rotary selector (dia. 23)
^ Turn the suction power selector
manually to the suction power setting
you require.
Opening the air inlet valve (dia. 24 +
25)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the
vacuum cleaner.
^ Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the suction power.
The floorhead will be easier to
manoeuvre. Close the valve when you
are ready to use full power again.
During vacuuming (dia. 26)
^ 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. Please
make sure that you keep your hand
in constant contact with this metal
strip during vacuuming.
Setting down, transportation
and storage
Parking system for pauses in
vacuuming (dia. 27)
The parking system allows you to
conveniently park the vacuum cleaner
during pauses.
^ Slot the floorhead into the parking
attachment at the back of the
vacuum cleaner.
If the vacuum cleaner is on a
sloping surface, e.g. a ramp, retract
the telescopic tube fully.
