Using the tool provided with the appliance (15), press in the two latches located on each side of the
lower side of the Delta head (fig.7). Lift the trap located on top of the electro-brush (fig.8). Remove the
electro-brush and its lateral bearing in order to clean them (fig.9). Carefully remove any threads, hair,
fur, etc. from the electro-brush. Once clean, replace the electro-brush and its lateral bearing (fig.11),
then replace the trap over it (fig.12). Finally, using the tool provided with the appliance, close both

FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Do not touch any rotating parts before you turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner.
• Do not use the appliance on wet surfaces.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water.
ELECTRO-BRUSH MALFUNCTION
The electro-brush does not function properly or makes an unusual sound
• Either the rotating brush or the axis is blocked: turn off the appliance and clean them.
• The brush is worn out: visit an authorized Service Center in order to have the brush changed.
• The belt is worn out: if the belt makes noise, it means that it is slipping because it's worn out. Visit
an authorized Service Center in order to have the belt changed.
The electro-brush stops while you are vacuuming
• The thermal security feature has been activated: Turn off the vacuum cleaner by moving the
Stop/Start button to the Stop position (2.a) and unplug it. Check to see if any solid object is blocking
the rotation of the brush. If this is the case, remove the object and clean the electro-brush (fig.10),
then you may keep using the vacuum cleaner.
The electro-brush moves with difficulty
If you find that your vacuum cleaner slides with difficulty along surfaces, progressively reduce the
speed until you reach the « Min » position (2.b). If the problem persists, take your appliance to the
authorized Rowenta Service Center nearest to your home.
See the list of authorized Rowenta Service Centers or contact the Rowenta Consummer Service
department.
4 • Storage
After use, turn off your vacuum cleaner by moving the Stop/Start button to the Stop position (2a). Now
you may store your appliance vertically wherever you like, thanks to the parking position.
To place the vacuum cleaner in the parking position: Place the neck vertically in order to block the
appliance.
To continue using the vacuum cleaner: Take it by the handle and make it swing backwards in order to
unblock it and leave the parking position.
