Assembling The Appliance
Fix the two plastic tubes together by inserting one into the other.
To attach the flexible hose to the vacuum cleaner, push the end of the
pivoting head on the flexible hose into the attachment point on 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 the either side of the pivoting head then pull upwards to
remove it from the attachment point.
Any of the accessories could be fitted onto the end of the tubes. The floor
accessory has two positions:
Curved wand
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.
Connecting
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.
Tube
Floor brush
Pull the mains lead out to the desired length and plug it into a standard
domestic outlet. To retract press the cord button again. Press the foot
pedal to start the vacuum cleaner. To stop it press the pedal again.
Using the Accessories
There are two accessories provided in addition to the floor brush. (i) Crevic
nozzle (ii) Cornerbrush.
These accessories could be fitted on to the tubes or directly onto 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 onto the small cleaning tool is used
for lampshades or polished surfaces.
If you wish to pause briefly during vacuuming ie. 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.
When you have finished vacuuming, press 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.
Your product is fitted with a motor safety device, which protects the motor
from overloading. When the unit is overloaded, the thermal-cut-off will trip
the connection to the motor, thus preventing the unit from further operation.
If this does happen, unplug the unit from main and let the unit cool down
for 20-25 minutes. The thermal-cut-off will reset and the unit will be
operational once again.

How to care for your Vacuum Cleaner
Your appliance is equipped with a fabric dust bag. If you notice, the vacuum
cleaner's suction power is below normal levels, check the dust indicator by
selecting the maximum power and lifting the cleaning tool off the floor. If it
turns red, change/clean the bag.
To change the dustbag, turn off the appliance and unplug it. Lift up the
latch to gain access to the dustbag compartment and raise the cover. Pull
the handle up to remove the bag holder. Handle the bag carefully. Refer
the 'Dust Bag Emptying' instructions to empty it. Do not forget to regularly
clean the dustbag and filter. The efficiency of your cleaner and the life of the
motor depends on it.
Clean the vacuum cleaner body with a damp cloth. Do not use any
abrasives.
Change of Filters
Motor protection air 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.
Attention: Dot not use the vacuum cleaner without the motor protection
filter. There are also filters at the end of the unit. Press the lever down to
gain access to this filter. Clean this filter regularly for more purified air.
Red
Dust Bag Indicator
When the dust bag or air filters are full of dust, the "dust full indicator" on top
of the body will be covered by red indications. This shows that your need to
empty the dust bag or clean the air filters.
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.
You can empty the dustbag in the following ways:
• Hold the dustbag over a dustbin. Remove the clip by sliding it off the
dustbag sideways.
• Shake the contents of the dustbag in to the dustbin.
• Close the dustbag by sliding the clip back onto the bottom edge of the
dustbag.
