arrow on the connector (1) to the inlet recesses. Then
rotate the hose 90 degrees clockwise (2) to lock the
hose in to position (Fig.3/1).
2. Push the telescopic extension tube on to the end of
the handle (Fig.3/2).
3. The telescopic extension tube can be lengthened or
shortened by pushing the button in and sliding the
tube apart or together as required (Fig.3/3).
4. Fit the combination floor head by pushing onto the

Fully unwind the power cord. A yellow mark on the power
cord indicates the recommended cord length. Do not
exceed the cord length beyond the red mark.
On/Off Button
Insert the power plug into the electrical outlet. Ensure the
vacuum cleaner is switched off.
Press the on/off button located on the top of the vacuum
cleaner and press the button again to turn the vacuum
cleaner off.
Carpet Cleaning
For carpet and rug cleaning press the rocker switch on the
combination floor head to raise the brushes.

combination floor head to lower the brushes.
Cord Rewind
To rewind the power cord, press the cord rewind button,
