parquet with the fibre brush extended, and cleaning carpets and rugs with
the fibre brush retracted.
• This model also includes a suction nozzle for narrow places, grooves and
corners (27). This attachment also fits directly onto the flexible hose (1) or
onto the telescopic metal pipe (4).
• The vacuum cleaner can now be plugged in. To do so, pull out the cord and
press the ON/OFF button (6) to switch it on. A yellow mark on the cord in-
dicates its maximum advisable length. Never extend the cord beyond the
red mark.
• Use the electronic regulator (8) to adjust the suction power.
• The suction power can also be adjusted mechanically by opening or closing
the device (3) on the handle. This function is advisable for cleaning small
rugs and carpets, which helps the brush to slide across the surface to be
cleaned.
• When finished, switch the appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button (6).
Unplug it and press the self-winding cable button (5) to wind up the cord.
Hold the cord plug in your hand to prevent it from banging against the
vacuum cleaner housing.
• Between vacuuming tasks, the multi-purpose brush can be stored on the
support on the back of the vacuum cleaner housing (Fig. 1).
• To facilitate transport and storage, it can be placed in the vertical position.
Introduce the hook of the multi-purpose brush in the housing located on
the back of the vacuum cleaner (Fig.2).
DUST CANISTER CLEANING:
NOTE: Before starting to clean the canister, make sure you have un-
plugged the appliance.
• When the dust stored in the canister reaches the maximum fill level mark
(23), you should empty the canister. For optimum performance of the appli-
ance, we recommend cleaning the canister after each use.
• When you need to empty the dust canister, disconnect the appliance and
proceed as follows:
1. If the flexible hose (1) is connected to the vacuum cleaner, it must be re-
moved. To do so, press gently on the flexible hose button (15) and remove
the flexible hose from the intake opening (Fig. 3). For safety reasons, the
vacuum cleaner cover cannot be opened when the flexible hose is con-
nected at the intake opening of the appliance.
2. Open the main cover of the vacuum cleaner by pressing on the main
cover opening button (16) until it catches (Fig. 4).
3. Remove the dust canister by pulling upwards on the handle (14) (Fig. 5).
4. To open the canister, press the automatic opening button (20) and empty
the dust into a rubbish bin (Fig. 6).
5. To close the canister, tilt the lid (24) forwards and press up until you hear
a click. This indicates that the lid is closed correctly (Fig. 7).
