3 Insert the telescopic metal tube (20).
4 Prepare the accessories required for the surface you want to clean. Insert the required
accessory into the telescopic metal tube (20).
All-purpose brush for floors and carpets (23)
It can be used on all types of floors, as it is retractile and can adapt to the surface to be
cleaned. To change the cleaning position of the brush, press the brush button (25) with
your foot. We recommend cleaning hard floors, wood and parquet with the fibre brush
extended, and cleaning carpets and rugs with the fibre brush retracted.
Brush for parquet floors (26)
It is recommended for use on parquet floors and hard floors (stoneware, ceramic, marble, etc.).
Vacuuming tip (27)
For narrow places, grooves and corners.
Upholstery brush (28)
Suitable for upholstery.
• The length of the telescopic tube can be adjusted (20) by sliding the adjustment button
(21) while moving both parts of the telescopic tube.
5 Pull the cord (5) out as far as the yellow mark (ideal length). If necessary, pull it out as
far as the red mark, but no further.
6 Plug the appliance into the mains.
7 Switch the vacuum cleaner on by pressing the foot button (2) and adjust the suction
power by opening or closing the regulator on the handle (19). (Opening the valve
reduces the power and closing it increases the power).
)
If, while using the appliance, you hear a sharp whistle unlike the usual sound,
turn it off and unplug it. Check that the air intakes, outlets and filters are not
blocked. If they are blocked, get rid of the cause of the blockage.
,
While using the appliance, drag it along like a trolley. Use the container handle (16) to
carry the vacuum cleaner.
,
This appliance has a position known as "horizontal parking", which can be used for
pausing from time to time during cleaning. This position is achieved by holding the
telescopic tube by the hook in the groove (4) of the appliance body (fig. 1).
,
All these accessories can be stored in the accessory holder (22) housed in the
telescopic metal tube (fig. 1).
8 Once you have finished, switch the appliance off by pressing the button (2). Unplug it
and press the button (3) to wind up the cord. Hold the cord plug in your hand to prevent
it from banging against the vacuum cleaner housing.
SAFETY THERMOSTAT
The system has a safety thermostat. If for any reason the vacuum cleaner should
overheat, the thermostat will automatically shut off the appliance. If this should happen:
1 Press the on/off switch (2) and unplug the appliance from the mains.
2 Check that the air intakes and outlets are not blocked. If they are blocked, get rid of
the cause of the blockage.
3 Empty the dust container (outer and inner chamber). See the next section "Cleaning
and Conservation".
)
If the automatic shut-off was due to the motor overheating, wait for about one hour for
the appliance to cool before turning it on again. You can reduce the waiting time by
placing the appliance in a cool or well-ventilated place to allow the heat to dissipate.
