How to use your Vacuum Cleaner

Your new vacuum cleaner is intended for household usage only.

Assembling The Appliance

Extend the chrome tube to the desired length by sliding the button and pulling the tube apart.

To attach the flexible hose to the vacuum cleaner, push the end of the pivoting head on the flexible hose into the attachment point on the vacuum cleaner. Make sure that the plug is correctly inserted into the socket. To remove the flexible hose from the vacuum cleaner, press on the two buttons situated on the either side of the pivoting head then pull upwards to remove it from the attachment point.

Any of the accessories could be fitted onto the end of the tubes. The floor accessory has two positions:

Hard Floor (tiles, parquet floors, etc.) position - The cleaning tool's brush must be in the lower position. Press on the rocker switch to lower it.

Carpet or rug position - The cleaning tool's brush should be raised. Press the rocker switch to lift the brush up. Only the flat part of the tool is in contact with the floor.

Pull the mains lead out to the desired length and plug it into a standard domestic outlet. Press the foot pedal to start the vacuum cleaner. To stop it press the pedal again.

The base body has a manual air flow regulator which allows you to briefly alter the suction level; the more open the regulator is the weaker the suction power. With the Variable Speed control on handle, you can choose the power appropriate for the task. The order of usages from low to high is as below.

1. Curtains, delicate fabrics

2. Amchairs, sofas, cushions, mattresses

3. Everyday tasks on dirty floors

4. Ordinary rugs and carpets.

When you have finished vacuuming, press pedal to stop the appliance then unplug it at the mains and press your foot on the pedal to automatically rewind the cord.

You can move or store your appliance in a vertical position by sliding the hook on the large cleaning tool into the clip on the underside of the appliance. This practical system allows you to carry the vacuum cleaner around in one hand and to store it in the minimum of space.
