Fitting on the accessories

To fit your machine with the correct accesso­ry, simply push in the attachment until firmly
in place.

skirting boards, etc. (fig. 5).

Cleaning under low furniture

recommended attachment and proceed to
clean the desired area. To obtain maximum
suction power, rotate the cleaner left or right
whilst using forward and backward move­ments (Fig. 6).

slide switch for electronic suction control.
It is recommended to position the slide switch
to the minimum setting before switching on
the machine (fig. 8).

reduced noise when cleaning hard floors
and upholstery.

• Minimum power: indispensable for vacu­uming delicate textiles and upholstery, to
avoid strong suction on the fabric which
may tear the fabric and reduce cleaning
performance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out cleaning or mainte­nance, always remove the plug from the
power socket.

Full-bag indicator (5)

The full-bag indicator is on the lower part of the
broom and is activated when the suction hose is
blocked or the dust bag is excessively full.

Changing the dust bag

Release the dust bag.
Fit with a new dust bag, making sure to
slide the cardboard collar correctly into its
grooves (fig. 10-11).
Replace the hatch cover and secure in place
by pressing until it locks (fig.12).

Care of the motor filter

In order to maintain the maximum suction ef­ficiency, and to ensure that the motor is ade­quately cooled and that the air vented from
the appliance contains no dust particles, the
motor filter should be cleaned regularly.
Wash the motor filter in water with a little
household detergent, and allow to dry thor­oughly before replacing (fig.13).

Replacing the microfilter/s

The electrostatic 3M-filter assures a high­quality out-put of air as it retains dust, pol­lens, etc.
To maintain its efficiency, the micro-filter
should be changed every 2-3 months.
To replace the micro-filter, lift the front air
exhaust grille and remove filter. Replace with
a new filter and close the grille pressing it
down firmly (Fig. 14).

Storing the machine

Store leaning against a wall with the power
head with brush down to prevent slipping.
Or else, hang on the wall by the hole in the
handgrip on a nail, hook, or a screw with
plug.
