2) Never use the appliance on wet surfaces.
3) Always unplug the appliance when not in use and before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning work on the appliance itself.
4) The appliance is only intended for domestic use, as shown in the booklet, and only with the
accessories supplied.
5) Do not leave the appliance unattended when switched on. Keep away from
children and unfit persons.
6) Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.
7) Keep clothing, hair, fingers and all parts of the body away from the suction nozzle and moving parts
(electro-brush roller).
8) To avoid damage to the insulation, do not run the appliance over supply cord.
9) Do not unplug by pulling the electric cord.
10) Do not use the electric cord as a handle. Do not jam the cord in doors, nor allow it to rub against
corners. Keep away from heated surfaces.
11) Do not allow the appliance to pick up matches, hot ashes or cigarette ends.

obstructed. Keep the suction nozzle free of dust, hair, gauze and any other material that could restrict
suction.
19) Do not wash the appliance with trichloroethylene or other solvents. Use only water with ordinary liquid
detergents.
20) Be especially careful when using the appliance on stairs.
21) Do not switch on the appliance if it seems defective. Do not use if the electric cord or power plug is
damaged. If the appliance is dropped, left outside, gets wet or is immersed in water, take it to an
authorized Technical Service Centre.
22) The power cable of this appliance may not be replaced by the customer. Any time the cable has
been damaged, or any time you just wish to replace it, please contact only authorized technical
support centres.
23) The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

ASSEMBLING
THE APPLIANCE
Release the handle by pushing the two buttons (A
and B, fig.1) at the sides of the handle seat. Raise to
a vertical position until you hear it click (fig.2). To unlock, press the button (3) and fold it back (fig.3).
Attach the carpet/floor nozzle to the end of the
vacuum cleaner, pushing it in well.
Cleans dust efficiently from both hard floors or
mats and carpet.
Thanks to the articulated fins, this model is particularly suited to cleaning right up close to furniture
and into corners. (fig. 4).
For cleaning wider areas, simply rotate the
brush to use the total width (fig. 5).
Open the front panel by pulling the catch (A, fig.6)
and check that the paper bag is properly inserted.
If the bag is not positioned correctly, the safety device lever (B. fig.6) will prevent the panel being
closed again.

USING
THE APPLIANCE
The appliance is equipped with a variable suction
slide control (fig. 7).
It is advisable to set the slide control to minimum
before turning on the appliance.
- Maximum power: recommended for heavy
dirt (small stones, soil etc.) on hard floors, fabric
covered floors, deep pile carpets, corners,
edges etc.
- Medium power: saves energy and reduces the
noise level of the appliance. This is quite sufficient
for removing dust from hard floors and fabric furnishings.
- Minimum power: perfect for vacuuming light,
delicate objects and light fabric coverings as it prevents the material being sucked into the appliance
making it difficult to clean.
Plug in the power cord and turn on the appliance
with the switch on the handle (fig. 8).
For cleaning under low furniture.
To make cleaning under low furniture easier, attach
the extension pipe and insert the required tool (fig. 8).
When using the carpet/floor brush, for maximum suction efficiency, turn the swivel joint of the brush 180°. ( fig. 9)
Using the electro-brush
(available on request)
Electronic versions can be fitted with an electrobrush to clean carpets and rugs.
Attach the electro-brush (14) to the suction nozzle
(8), pushing it in well. Connect the electro-brush
plug to the power take-off on the body of the appliance (fig. 10). When the appliance is turned on, the
electro-brush motor starts automatically. The appliance can now be used for cleaning all types of textile surface.
WARNING: do not use the electro-brush on rug fringes
as these could become entangled in the roller.

Using as a vacuum cleaner,
and shoulder strap models
For cleaning upholstery, sofas, mattresses, furniture
etc., the appliance can easily be transformed into a
practical, portable vacuum cleaner.
Fold back the handle and hook it to the back of
the appliance. Attach the flexible hose plus appropriate tool to the end of the vacuum cleaner (fig.11)
(multi-purpose nozzle for curtains and sofas, crevice
tool for corners and cracks, round dusting brush for
the surface of furniture, central heating radiators,
door jambs etc.)
This allows the appliance to be moved by hand for
easier cleaning.
The appliance is easier and more comfortable to
use with the shoulder strap (fig.13) attached.
To attach the shoulder strap (if provided):
- fold away the vacuum cleaner handle;
- attach the rectangular ring to the rear of the appliance, sliding it around the handle release button
(3) until it clicks (A, fig. 12).
- slip the shoulder strap ring over the suction nozzle (8), then attach the required accessory (B, fig.
12).
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning work.
Insufficient suction
The full bag indicator (5) on the front panel becomes red when the dustbag needs replacing or if
the air flow is obstructed.
In the second case, check the suction nozzle (8)
and remove the obstruction that caused the light to
come on.
Replacing the paper bag
Pull out the catch (A, fig.6) and open the front panel (7).
Remove the paper bag by pulling out the cardboard
collar (fig.14), and replace it with a new one.
To insert the new bag, just slide the cardboard collar into the special guides, pushing the anti-closing
device (B, fig. 6) at the same time.
Push it down well and close the panel.

Motor filter maintenance
The motor filter must always be kept clean to ensure the absolute cleanliness of the air expelled by
the appliance, and to give maximum suction and
optimum motor cooling.
Open the front panel (A, fig. 6), remove the filter
holder (A, fig. 15), raise the small grid and remove
the motor filter (B, fig. 15).
To maintain efficiency, just wash it occasionally in
water and normal detergent.
Replacing the microfilter
Open the small hatch at the rear of the appliance
(fig. 16), remove the microfilter, replace it with a new
one and close.
The microfilter should be changed often (after
every 2-3 dust bag replacements) to prevent the circulation of bacteria in the room.
If your appliance is fitted with an active carbon filter (fig. 17), this should also be changed after every
2-3 dust bag replacements or when it has become
stiff, to ensure effective filtration of unpleasant
odours.
Storing the appliance
Wind the cord around the special winding lugs on
the appliance (fig. 18).
The appliance may be hung on a wall by fixing a
screw and dowel to the wall and attaching the unit by
way of the hole at the back of the handle (A, fig. 18),
or it may be placed in a vertical position and leant
against the wall.
