SELF-ADJUSTING CLEANER HEAD WITH
SUCTION CONTROL
•
Your appliance has a self-adjusting cleaner head with suction control.
This cleaner head is used for testing with the European Regulations: No.
665/2013 and No. 666/2013 and testing shall be performed in Max mode (+).
EASY MODE
Reduced push force for effortless cleaning.
•
For vacuuming of lightly soiled carpets, rugs and hard flooring.
•
Your appliance is pre-set to this level of suction when you take it out of the box.
MAX MODE
Maximum suction for powerful dust and dirt removal.
•
For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors and heavily soiled carpets
and rugs.
•
To switch to this setting, move the suction control slider on top of the cleaner head
as shown.
•
CAUTION: The suction of this mode can damage delicate flooring. Before
vacuuming, check the flooring manufacturer's cleaning recommendations.
•
If the suction power of Max mode prevents easy maneuverability, switch to
Easy mode.
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
•
The brush bar will always default to 'ON' (spinning) each time you switch the
appliance 'ON'.
•
To switch the brush bar 'OFF' (e.g. for delicate flooring), twist the dial on the
cleaner head a quarter of a turn. The brush bar will stop.
•
When the appliance is running and the brush bar has been switched 'OFF', the
brush bar can be switched 'ON' again by twisting the dial on the cleaner head
a quarter of a turn. The brush bar will start. Alternatively, switch the appliance
'OFF'; the dial will return to its original position. When the appliance is switched
'ON' again the brush bar starts automatically.
•
The brush bar can only be turned off once the machine is running.
•
The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. See 'Brush bar –
clearing obstructions'.
•
Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning instructions.
•
Some carpets may fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this
happens, we recommend vacuuming with the brush bar switched 'OFF' and
consulting with the flooring manufacturer.
•
The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are
unsure, turn 'OFF' the brush bar.
•
This product has carbon fibre brushes. Take care if coming into contact with
them, as they may cause minor skin irritation. Wash your hands after handling
the brushes.
•
Check the brush bar regularly and clear away any debris (such as hair). Debris
left on the brush bar may cause damage to flooring when vacuuming.
VACUUMING
•
Do not use without the clear bin and cyclone in place.
•
Do not use on rubble, ash or plaster. This appliance is designed only for
domestic use to remove household dirt, hair and allergens. The appliance is not
designed to be used on:
– debris produced from activities such as DIY, building or similar tasks
– larger types and quantities of dust or debris, such as soot and sawdust.
These materials may harm the appliance and may void your guarantee.
•
Fine dirt such as flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
•
Do not use the appliance to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins,
paper clips, etc. They may damage the appliance.
•
When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the
clear bin or wand. These are harmless and are not associated with the mains
electricity supply. To minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or
insert any object into the clear bin unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it
out with cold water (see 'Cleaning the clear bin').
•
Do not work with the appliance above you on the stairs.
•
Do not put the appliance on chairs, tables, etc.
•
Before vacuuming highly polished floors, such as wood or lino, first check that
the underside of the floor tool and its brushes are free from foreign objects that
could cause marking.
•
Do not push hard with the floor tool when vacuuming, as this may
cause damage.

– The bin base will then open.
– For stubborn dirt trapped in the cylinder, move mechanism up and down
until clear (please refer to 'Emptying the clear bin and optional bin removal'
illustrations).
•
To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in
a plastic bag and empty.
•
Remove the clear bin carefully from the bag.
•
Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
•
Close the clear bin by pushing the bin base upwards. Ensure that the bin base
clicks and the clip is securely in place.
•
Locate the base of the clear bin onto the front of the main body and lower the
cyclone down until it clicks into place.
•
In the event the clear bin unit does not open automatically, use the small, silver
release catch located towards the base of the clear bin unit (see 'Emptying the
clear bin' illustrations).
