USE

Assembling the different parts of the appliance

• Place the tube in the vacuum opening (fig. 1) and turn clockwise to lock. To withdraw the tube, turn in the opposite direction and pull (Fig 2).
  
• Fit the telescopic metal tube to the end of the butt until you hear a 'click' (Fig 3) (to dislodge it, press the screwing button on the tube and pull)
  
• Fit the nozzle for all floor types (20 or 21)* to the end of the telescopic metal tube
  
• Adjust the telescopic metal tube to the desired length using the telescopic system.
  

Fit the corresponding accessory to the end of the telescopic metal tube or the butt:

Always switch off and disconnect your vacuum cleaner before changing any accessories.

• For rugs and carpets: use the multi-surface nozzle (20 or 21) in the retracted brush position or the Turbobrush* (fibres and animal hairs).
• For wood and hard floors: use the multi-surface nozzle (20 or 21 in the exterior brush position or, for best results, use the parquet nozzle*.
• For corners and hidden spots: use the crevice nozzle*.
• For upholstery and delicate surfaces: use the upholstery brush integrated to the ERGO COMFORT nozzle (EASY BRUSH) or the upholstery nozzle*.

Never turn your vacuum cleaner on if the dust box (12) and the filtration system (case) are not in place.

Plugging the cord in and turning on the appliance

Unwind the power cord completely, plug in your vacuum cleaner (Fig 6) and press the ON/OFF pedal (Fig 7).

Note: you can use your vacuum cleaner in the horizontal position (sleigh) but also in vertical position, especially when vacuuming stairs or curtains.
Adjust the vacuuming power:

• with the electronic power control switch
  
• with the mechanical power control on the butt: open the regulation shutter slider to manually decrease the vacuuming power and thus keep the nozzle from getting stuck to the surface being vacuumed (fig.9) ex: sheer curtains, fragile surfaces.
  
  • (MIN)
    position for vacuuming delicate fabrics (sheer curtains, textiles)
  • (MID)
    position for daily vacuuming of all floor types and in the event of weak dirt marks
  • (MAX)
    position for vacuuming hard floors, rugs and carpets in the event of strong dirt marks

Storage and transport of the appliance

After use, switch off your vacuum cleaner by pressing the ON/OFF pedal and unplug it (fig. 10). Rewind the power cord by pressing the power cord rewind pedal (fig. 11). In vertical position, place the nozzle in the parking position (fig.12). In vertical position, place the nozzle in the parking position (fig.13).

You will thus be able to transport and store your vacuum cleaner in the parking position.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always turn off and disconnect your vacuum cleaner before performing any maintenance procedures.

Empty the dust box

Empty the dust box after each use.

• Withdraw the tube from the vacuum opening (Fig.2)
• Open the lid of your vacuum cleaner.
  
• Remove the dust box (12) from its compartment by using the handle.
  
• Lean on the opening button (OPEN) of the dust box lid and then lift the lid (Fig.17) to withdraw it completely (Fig.18).
  
• Empty the dust box over a dustbin
  
• Place the lid back on the box by putting the corresponding parts on the appropriate notches (Fig.20), then pull it down until you hear a 'CLICK' (Fig.21).
  
  
• Place the box back in its casing.
  

Clean the dust box and the filtration system

The air we breathe contains particles that can be allergenic: larva and dust mite faeces, mould, pollen, smoke and animal waste (hair, skin, saliva, urine). The finest particles can penetrate deep inside the respiratory system or cause inflammation, affecting the entire respiratory function.
(H)EPA ([High] Efficiency Air Particle Filter) filters retain even the smallest particles.
Thanks to the (H)EPA filter, the air released into the room is cleaner than the air vacuumed.

In order to improve the performance of your vacuum cleaner, remember to clean the dust box and the filtration system every 3 months.

• Withdraw the tube from the vacuum opening (Fig.2)
• Open the lid of your vacuum cleaner (fig.15).
• Remove the dust box (12) from its compartment by using the handle (Fig.16).

Clean the dust box

• Press the opening button (OPEN) of the dust box lid and then lift the lid (Fig.17) to withdraw it completely (Fig.18)
• Then withdraw the casing that contains the separator from the lid by pressing on the OPEN button.
  
• Detach the separator from its casing.
  
• Rinse the separator (13 a), its casing (13b) and the dust box lid (12b) under clean water. You may use some mild soap.
  
• Dry them with a cloth.
  
• Once they are dry, place the separator back in its casing by using the notch designed for that purpose (Fig.28), then replace the whole assembly (13 a + 13b) inside the dust box lid by using the appropriate notch (Fig.29) until you hear a 'CLICK' (Fig.30)
  
  

Clean the filtration system

• Press on the opening clips of the HEPA filter case
  
• Withdraw the filter case HEPA (16) from the dust box (12c)
  
• Separate the foam filter (16b) from the HEPA filter (16a)
  
• Tap the HEPA filter over a dustbin
  
• Wash the foam filter (16b) and the HEPA filter (16a) under clear running water and allow to dry 12 H.
  

ATTENTION
To clean the HEPA filter, wash it under normal running water. In order to not damage it, avoid scraping it with an accessory.

• Wash the dust box (12c) under running water (Fig.36) and dry it with a soft cloth.
  
• Once it is dry, reposition the foam filter (16b) on the HEPA filter (16a)
  
• Replace the filter case (16a + 16b) on the dust box (12c) by using the notches designed for that purpose (Fig.38) until you hear a 'CLICK'. (Fig.39)

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you notice that your vacuum cleaner is not operating as well, before carrying out any checks, switch it off using the ON/OFF pedal.

If your vacuum cleaner will not start

• The appliance is not plugged in. Check that the appliance is plugged in correctly.

If your vacuum cleaner has no suction power

• Either an accessory or the hose tube is partially blocked: unblock the accessory or the hose tube.
• The lid is not properly closed: check that the dust box is well placed and close the lid.

If your vacuum cleaner has less suction power, is noisy or makes a whistling noise

• Either an accessory or the hose tube is partially blocked: unblock the accessory or the hose tube.
• The dust compartment is full: empty it (see CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE chapter).
• The filtration system is saturated: clean the HEPA filter capsule (16) (see CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE chapter). If the problem persists, change the filtration system (see the CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE chapter).
• Make sure that the dust box (12) is well positioned in the dust tray housing (11).
• The mechanical power regulator (18b) is open: close the mechanical power regulator on the butt.
• The electronic power regulator (9) is set at minimum: increase the power using the electronic power regulator (unless you are cleaning fragile fabrics).

If the lid does not close (detector action 14*)

• Verify that the HEPA filter case (16) is there and that it is correctly positioned.
• Make sure that the dust box (12) is correctly positioned in the dust tray housing (11).

If it is difficult to move the nozzle

• Reduce the power by opening the mechanical power control on the butt (18b) or by moving the electronic power control switch (9) towards the MIN position.
• Make sure that the position of the nozzle (20 or 21) corresponds to the floor being vacuumed:
  • for rugs and carpets, use the nozzle in the retracted brush position,
  • for parquets and smooth surfaces, use the nozzle in the exterior position.

If the power cord does not wind completely

• The cord slowed down as it was winding up: pull the power cord out again and press the power cord rewind pedal.

If a problem persists, take your vacuum cleaner to your local Rowenta Authorised Service Centre or contact the Rowenta Customer Service.
