USING THE CLEANING TOOLS
Assembling the appliance
Insert the hose into the coupling on the appliance
and press until it hooks into place (fig. 1).
To remove the hose, press the lever at the side and
pull the hose out (fig. 2).
Telescopic or rigid extensions (M)
Connect the telescopic extension to the end of the
hose handgrip.
The telescopic extension enables the hose to be
extended to the required length (fig. 3).
For versions without telescopic extension, join the
two rigid extensions (fig. 4), connect them to the
hose handgrip and attach the required tool to the
opposite end.
N.B: All vacuuming tools can be connected either
directly to the hose handgrip or to the telescopic or rigid extension.
• Shoulder strap (fig. 5)
To use the appliance for the widest possible
range of cleaning needs, use the easy-to-fit
shoulder strap provided.
• Two position carpet/floor brush
Pos. 1: to clean hard floors, bristles out (fig. 6).
Pos. 2: to clean carpets and rugs, bristles in
(fig. 7).
• Multipurpose nozzle for upholstered furniture
(fig. 8) (certain models only)
To clean upholstered furniture, mattresses, garments, car seats etc.
• Crevice tool (fig. 9)
to clean radiators, corners, edges, drawers,
etc.
• Brush tool (fig. 10) (certain models only)
Fitted with a joint to facilitate cleaning.
Particularly suitable for removing dust from
fabric, furniture, books, curtains, frames and
clothing.
INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the appliance, extract the power cable
completely and plug into the mains. To rewind the
cable, unplug and press the cable wind button
(fig. 11).
Operation
To turn the vacuum cleaner on, lightly press the
ON/OFF button (D) (fig. 12).
In models with remote control, press the switch to
turn the remote control unit on.
Models with remote control:
While cleaning, you can interrupt vacuuming by
pressing the "StopVac" button (D) on the remote
control. To resume cleaning, press the +/- button
(U or V).
The effectiveness of the remote control is guaranteed by means of two signal transmitters, enabling
the signal to be transmitted both from the front
and the back. However, bear in mind that the
remote control should always be pointed towards
the appliance.
NB: the StopVac" button (H) interrupts vacuuming but does not turn the appliance off. To turn
off, press the ON/OFF button (D). To turn the
appliance on, always press the ON/OFF button
(D).
Electronic vacuum power regulation (if present)
The electronic regulator enables suction power to
be varied according to the type of surface to be
cleaned.
The maximum power of the appliance can therefore be exploited to vacuum dust from carpets or
hard floors (marble, ceramics, cotto, etc) and a
lower suction power to clean curtains or other light
fabrics.
Press the + / - button on the appliance (U or V)
e, and (if present) on the remote control (G button)
(fig. 13). You can choose between three power
levels. The LED corresponding to the level chosen
lights up (fig. 14).
NB: in models with remote control, the power can
also be regulated with the batteries flat by using
the + / - button (U or V).

CLEANING
Dust bag full indicator (Fig. 15)
The dust bag full indicator (S) indicates when the
dust bag needs changing or the vacuum hose is
blocked.
You should change the bag before the full length
of the indicator turns red to guarantee optimum
hygiene and the quality of the air emitted into the
environment.
Replacing the dust bag
To change the paper dust bag, pull the bag compartment opening lever (fig. 16) and lift the cover.
Remove the bag carefully by pulling the fixing lever
towards you (fig. 17).
This moves the bag backwards and enables it to be
removed easily.
Thread the new bag into the guides and push as far
as it will go.
The bag provided with the appliance has a handy
closure to avoid dust leaks. Just pull the edge of the
paper until it is closed (fig. 18).
Hook the bag holder back in place and close the
cover of the appliance exerting light pressure.
You should change the dust bag frequently when
vacuuming up very fine dirt such as flour, talcum
powder, etc.
NB:
The appliance has a safety device which prevents
the dust bag compartment cover being closed
when there is no dust bag in place.
Motor protection filter
To extend the working life of the appliance and
protect the motor, it is vital to keep the motor protection filter clean.
To access the filter, open the dust collection container, extract the dust bag and remove the filter
holder (fig. 19).
If the filter is not excessively dirty, simply remove
the dust.
If particularly clogged, it must be washed and
dried.
Make sure the filter is dry before putting it back in
the appliance.
When replacing the filter, make sure it is positioned correctly.
Air outlet microfilter
Depending on the model, your appliance is fitted
with a microfilter or high efficiency filter (HEPA
Filter**). This is housed under the air outlet slits.
Remove the rear grill (E) (fig. 20), take out the filter
and wash with water.
When completely dry, put back in place then
reposition the grill correctly.
You should replace the filter at least every five dust
bag changes. For HEPA filter models, replace the
filter every four dust bag changes
.
** The HEPA Filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air)
removes impurities down to a size of 0.3 microns, filtering all types of particle and even bacteria.
Important warning:
Never use the appliance without the filter.
Never wash the filter in the washing machine or dry
with a hairdryer.
"PARKING" POSITION
The appliance is provided with a clip at the bottom
to enable it to be put away safely and tidily in the
parking position (C) (Fig. 21)
If you have to interrupt cleaning for a brief period,
the appliance has a convenient "parking" system.
Insert the bracket on the brush joint (N) into the
clip (C) at the rear of the appliance (Fig. 22).
IMPORTANT WARNING
Malfunction of the appliance (low power, unusual noise
or complete breakdown) could be caused by obstructed
nozzles or hoses or faulty electrical components.
Check the nozzles, dust bag and motor protection filter.
To remove obstructions from the hose, detach the hose
from the handle and connector by pressing the tabs (J)
(fig. 23) then extract the hose. To reassemble the hose,
handle and connector, press the tabs and re-insert the
hose.
If this does not resolve the problem, take the appliance to
an authorised service centre.
