IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
The warranty provisions do not cover failure due to  
accident, misuse, abuse, negligence or non observation of  
local regulations on the part of the user. Equally, the  
warranty provisions do not apply where the appliance has  
been serviced by a person not authorised by Black &  
Decker or serviced with non-approved parts and this has  
contributed to the fault of the product. Superseded models  
without a replacement equivalent will either be repaired  
or (at Black & Decker’s discretion) replaced with another  
product of similar retail value.  
When using electrical appliances, in order to reduce the risk  
of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, basic safety  
precautions should be followed, including the following:  
Read all instructions carefully, even if you are familiar  
with the appliance.  
To protect against the risk of electric shock, DO NOT  
IMMERSE the appliance,cord set or plug in water or  
other liquids.  
To clean, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.  
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance  
is used by or near children. Never leave an appliance  
unattended when in use.  
MAKING A CLAIM  
Take your defective product together with the Warranty  
Registration Card & purchase receipt to your local service  
Centre. You can either do this in person or send it freight  
prepaid. If mailing or shipping your appliance, ensure the  
unit is packed carefully in a sturdy carton with enough  
packing material to prevent damage. Include a note  
describing the problem to the Service Centre and be sure  
to give your return address.  
Switch off and remove the plug from the power outlet  
when not in use before assembling or disassembling  
parts, and pull from power outlet. Never pull the cord.  
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord  
or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is  
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the  
complete appliance to your nearest authorised  
service facility for examination, electrical repair,  
mechanical repair or adjustment.

Extend the chrome tube to the desired length by pressing  
on the button and pulling the tube apart.  
On/Off button: To switch the  
vacuum on or off. The red LED  
indicates the unit is plugged in but  
switched off. The green LED  
indicates the vacuum is running.  
To attach the flexible hose to the vacuum cleaner, push  
the end of the pivoting head on the flexible hose into the  
attachment point of the vacuum cleaner. Make sure that  
the plug is correctly inserted into the socket. To remove  
the flexible hose from the vacuum cleaner, press on the  
two buttons situated on either side of the pivoting head  
then pull upwards to remove it from the attachment point.  
Min. Button: Reduces the amount  
of suction.  
Max. Button: increases the amount  
of suction.  
Any of the accessories can be fitted onto the end of the  
tubes.  
Auto Button: With the roller brush in  
position, the Auto function applies  
the correct amount of suction  
applicable to the floor vacuuming  
requirements.  
The floor accessory has two positions:  
Hard Floor (tiles, parquet floors, etc.) position - The  
cleaning tool’s brush must be in the lower position. Press  
on the rocker switch to lower it.  
Using the Accessories  
Carpet or Rug position - The cleaning tool’s brush should  
be raised. Press the rocker switch to lift the brush up. Only  
the flat part of the tool is in contact with the floor.  
Open the accessory storage compartment. These  
accessories can fit on to the tubes or directly on to the end  
of the flexible hose handle. The small cleaning tool is used  
for upholstered furniture. The crevice nozzle is used for  
radiators, skirting boards, hard to reach corners, etc. The  
brush which fits on to the small cleaning tool is used for  
lampshades or polished surfaces.  
Pull the mains lead out to the desired length and plug it  
into a standard domestic outlet. If the supply cord is  
damaged, it must be replaced with another made by the  
same manufacturer or take it to an authorised Black &  
Decker service centre. The cable must be managed and  
routed so as to avoid tripping hazard during use.  
If you wish to pause briefly during vacuuming i.e. to move  
a small piece of furniture or a rug, use the special parking  
position on your vacuum cleaner. Slide the hook attached  
to the large cleaning tool into the slot on the rear of the  
appliance.  
Press the foot pedal to start the vacuum cleaner. To stop it,  
press the pedal again.  
The flexible hose handle has a manual air flow regulator  
which allows you to briefly alter the suction level (Not on  
VM800): the more open the regulator is, the weaker the  
suction level. With the electronic speed control, you can  
choose the power appropriate for the task.  
When you have finished vacuuming, press the pedal to  
stop the appliance then unplug it at the mains and press  
your foot on the pedal to automatically rewind the cord.  
You can move or store your appliance in a vertical position  
by sliding the hook on the large cleaning tool into the clip  
on the underside of the appliance. This practical system  
allows you to carry the vacuum cleaner around in one  
hand and to store it in the minimum of space.  
The order of usages from low to high is as below  
1. Curtains, delicate fabrics.  
2. Armchairs, sofas, cushions, mattresses  
3. Everyday tasks on dirty floors  
4. Hard floors  
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR  
VACUUM CLEANER  
5. Ordinary rugs and carpets  
Your appliance is equipped with a fabric dust bag. If you  
notice that the vacuum cleaner seems to be less efficient  
than usual, check the dust indicator by selecting the  
maximum power and lifting the cleaning tool off the floor. If  
it turns red, change the bag.  
Using the Remote Control (VM800)  
Using the Controls  
The Remote Control handle operates by infra-red. You can  
use it to turn the vacuum on and off and control the  
suction by use of the Min., Max. and Auto buttons. This  
gives you fingertip control for different applications.  
To change the dustbag, turn off the appliance and unplug  
it. Lift up the catch to gain access to the dustbag  
compartment and raise the cover. Pull the handle up to  
remove the bag holder. Hold the bag upside down to  
release into bin. Please be careful so that it does not  
overturn. Do not forget to regularly clean the dustbag and  
filter. The efficiency of your cleaner and the life of the  
motor depends on it.  
Replacing the Batteries  
If the function of the remote control starts to fail, this is  
generally an indication the batteries need replacing. Hold  
the end of the handle and open the battery cabinet. Press  
the spring in the battery cabinet and take it out gently.  
Repeat the process to remove the old battery. Replace  
with the new battery.  
Clean the vacuum cleaner body with a damp cloth. Do not  
use any abrasives.

Please be careful with the cord so that it does not  
become a tripping hazard.  
Change of Filters  
Motor protection filter  
If the supply cord is damaged, please take the unit to  
an authorised Black & Decker service centre to  
replace it with a new cord made by the manufacturer.  
The filter is located in the dust bag compartment and  
protects the motor from dust. To reach this filter, lift up the  
grill which secures it and replace it with a new one after  
emptying the dust bag 5 times  
DUST BAG EMPTYING  
Make sure to empty the dust bag after every five uses. The  
motor life will be effected if worked with full dust bag.  
Avoid inhaling the dust when emptying the dust bag.  
Attention: Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the  
motor protection filter.  
Air outlet filter  
Filters the air which is expelled. Pull on its holding clip to  
take it out of its housing. When fitting the new filter, make  
sure to secure it correctly with the clip. Replace it after  
every 5 dust bag emptying.
