These are supplied with their own oper-
ating instructions.
Standard adjustable floorhead
(dia. 17)
For general use and also for vacuuming
the stairs.

uming stairs it is best to start at the
bottom of the stairs and move up-
wards.

Use

Unwind the mains cable (dia. 18)
 Pull the mains cable out to the re-
quired length (max. cable length ap-
prox. 6.5 m).
 Insert the plug into the socket cor-
rectly and switch on.

If vacuuming for longer than 30
minutes, the mains cable must be
pulled out to its fullest extent. Other-
wise there is a danger of overheating
and damage.
To rewind the cable (dia. 19)
 Switch off at the wall socket and re-
move the plug.
 Press the rewind foot switch briefly.
The cable will rewind automatically.
To switch on and off (dia. 20)
 Press the On/Off foot control .
To regulate the suction power
(dia. 21)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to man-
oeuvre the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the controls which indicate the type of
use the settings are suitable for.
 Curtains, fabric
 Upholstery, cushions
 Cut pile carpets, rugs and runners
 Energy-saving vacuuming. This
setting is also very quiet
 Loop pile carpet and rugs
 Hard flooring and heavily soiled
carpets and rugs
When using the adjustable floorhead,
if the suction seems too high, reduce
the suction until the floorhead is
easier to manoeuvre.
 Turn the suction power selector
manually to the suction power setting
you require.
To open the air inlet valve (dia. 22)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the va-
cuum cleaner.
 Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
