PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
IMPORTANT! Check exhaust filter (f) is correctly fitted before use. Open dust
bag compartment (a) to check motor filter and dust bag are correctly fitted (see
Replacing filter and dust bag below).
•. The.remote.control.in.the.handle.
(18).uses.1.x.type.3LR50.(12.V).

......o...Remove.battery.cover.(19).and.
...........insert.battery.
......o...Check.plus.and.minus.poles.are.
............aligned.correctly.to.avoid.
...........damage.to.the.appliance.
•. Fit.the.hose.(22).by.inserting.it.into.
the.hose.connector.(3).so.that.the.
dowels.(17).click.into.place.
•. Fit.telescopic.tube.(11).at.opposite.
end.of.hose..Tube.length.can.be.
adjusted.by.pressing.on.the.lock.
button.(9).
•. Fit.nozzle.required.(13,.14,.15.or.16).
to.telescopic.tube..
USE
•. Pull.the.cord.(7).out.of.the.appliance..The.cord.may.not.be.pulled.out.further.
than.the.red.mark..Plug.in.and.switch.on.the.power.
•. Press.the.on/off.button.to.start.and.stop.the.appliance.
• Use the "+" and "-" buttons (21) on the handle to regulate suction power during
use..The.current.setting.can.be.seen.on.the.indicator.panel.(6):
•. You.can.start.and.stop.cleaning.during.use.with.the.start/stop.button.(20).on.the.
handle. The suction power indicator on the handle will flash when the appliance
is.blocked.
• The floor nozzle (13) bristles have two settings which can be selected using the
brush.function.buttons.(12).on.top.of.the.nozzle.
o When cleaning hard surfaces (stone- or wooden flooring, etc.), the nozzle
...........brushes.should.be.extended.
......o...When.cleaning.carpets.and.rugs,.the.brushes.should.be.retracted.into.the.
...........nozzle.
•. The.bag.change.indicator.will.normally.be.dark..If.it.lights.when.the.vacuum.
cleaner is in use, or if the suction strength is significantly reduced, the dust bag
must be changed (refer to Replacing filters and dust bag below).
•. IMPORTANT!.If.the.suction.strength.of.the.appliance.is.reduced,.the.nozzle.or.
hose may be blocked, filters may be blocked or dirty and the dust bag may be
full..Never.use.the.appliance.if.this.is.the.case,.as.this.will.damage.the.motor.
irreparably. Remove the cause of the blockage, clean the filters or replace dust
bag..
Tips for vacuum cleaning
•. Store.nozzles.in.the.compartment.under.the.lid..Open.lid.using.button.(4).
• Each nozzle has a special purpose. Try each of them out in different situations.
E.g. the furniture nozzle (15) or the small brush nozzle. The small crevice- and
brush.nozzles.(14).can.be.used.with.and.without.brushes,.as.they.can.be.quickly.
extended.or.withdrawn.
• You can park the floor nozzle in one of the parking brackets (on the back and
underside.of.the.appliance).when.taking.a.break.from.vacuuming.
•. You.can.lift.and.carry.the.appliance.using.the.carrying.handle.(1)..Never.pull.or.
lift.the.appliance.by.the.cord.
REPLACING FILTERS AND DUST BAG
On account of the vacuum cleaner's powerful suction, we recommend that
you use cloth/fibre vacuum bags.
IMPORTANT!.If.the.appliance.loses.suction.power.during.use,.the.dust.bag.may.be.
full. The filters may also need cleaning or replacing. We recommend that you clean
the filters at least twice a year or as required. We recommend replacing the filters
after.4.to.6.months'.use,.when.they.are.soiled,.or.if.the.appliance's.suction.strength.
is.reduced..Never.use.the.appliance.if.the.bag.is.
full or with no exhaust- or motor filter.
• Motor filter, exhaust filter and dust bag are in
the.appliance.
•. Open.the.lid.by.pulling.the.opening.handle.(2).
upwards.and.outwards.
Replacing the Motor Filter
The motor filter protects the motor against
dust and dirt. The appliance must not be used
if the motor filter is not in place.
• Pull motor filter holder (c) out using the
handle.
• Clean or replace the filter pad (d) if necessary
(see.section.on.Cleaning.below).
• Replace the filter pad in the motor filter holder
so.that.the.lugs.hold.it.in.place.
• Lift motor filter holder up and press into place until it clicks.
