During vacuuming

When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electro-
static charges build up naturally. Un-
der certain conditions these charges
will be released. To avoid the un-
pleasant effects of these discharges,
a metal inlay has been incorporated
into the underside of the handle.
Please make sure that you keep your
hand in constant contact with this
metal strip during vacuuming.
To regulate the suction power
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.
