TriActive nozzle
The TriActive nozzle is a multi-purpose nozzle for carpets and hard floors.
- The side brushes catch more dust and dirt at the sides of the nozzle and allow you to clean
better along furniture and other obstacles (Fig. 7).
- The opening at the front of the nozzle allows you to vacuum up larger particles (Fig. 8).
1 To clean hard floors, push the rocker switch on top of the nozzle with your foot (Fig. 9).
The brush strip for cleaning hard floors comes out of the housing. At the same time, the
,
wheel is lifted to prevent scratching and to increase manoeuvrability.
2 To clean carpets, push the rocker switch again (Fig. 10).
The brush strip disappears into the nozzle housing and the wheel is lowered automatically.
,
Crevice nozzle and small nozzle
1 Connect the crevice nozzle (1) or the small nozzle (2) directly to the handgrip or to the
tube (Fig. 11).
Mini turbo brush (FC8952 only)
The mini turbo brush has been specially designed to effectively pick up animal hairs and fluff from
furniture and mattresses. The unique brush inside the mini turbo brush loosens the hairs from the
fabric so that they can be picked up by the vacuum cleaner. The mini turbo brush can be attached
to the handgrip of the hose or to the telescopic tube.
1 Attach the mini turbo brush (see section 'Connecting the nozzle and accessories'
in this chapter).
Using the appliance
Note: You can carry the vacuum cleaner by the handle on top of the appliance (Fig. 12).
1 Press the release button (1) to remove the hose (2) (Fig. 3).
2 Open the cover (Fig. 13).
3 Grab the handle of the air filter and lift the lid off the dust bucket (Fig. 14).
4 Put the handle of the dust bucket in upright position (1). Lift the dust bucket out of the
appliance (2) (Fig. 15).
5 Fill the dust bucket with water up to the MAX indication (Fig. 16).
Do not operate the appliance without water. Always make sure the dust bucket is filled to a level
between the MIN and MAX indication.
If you add non-foaming soap or perfume to the water, make sure you clean the dust bucket and
AquaWeb properly after use to prevent foam from developing inside the dust bucket.
Caution: If foam develops inside the dust bucket, stop vacuuming. Empty the dust bucket and fill it
with fresh water.
