 Slot the floorhead downwards into
the parking attachment on the side of
the vacuum cleaner.

to carry or store.

tempt to lift the vacuum cleaner by
the dust container carrying handle.

Maintenance


Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply for
maintenance work and for cleaning.
Switch off at the wall socket and un-
plug it.

When emptying any vacuum
cleaner it is difficult to avoid expos-
ure to dust. To minimize this risk,
please ensure that you encase the
dust container in a large bag to
empty it and close the bag as tightly
as possible around the container.
Remove the container and close the
bag as tightly and quickly as pos-
sible and dispose of this immedi-
ately. It is advisable to wear dispos-
able gloves and a face mask while
emptying the cleaner. If at all pos-
sible, ask a non allergy sufferer to
empty the dust container if required.
