Power cord

Unwind the cord completely to
aid the vacuum in dissipating heat.
Do not pull or carry by the cord, use
the cord as a handle, close a door on
the cord, or pull the cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run
the appliance over the cord. Keep
the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling the cord. To
unplug grasp the plug, not the cord.
This appliance is equipped with a
power cord reel. Hold the plug when
rewinding onto cord reel. Do not al-
low plug to whip when rewinding.
Unwind the power cord (Fig. 11)
 Pull the power cord out to the re-
quired length (max. cord length ap-
prox. 21 ft / 6.5 m).
 Insert the plug into the electrical
socket.

If vacuuming for longer than 30
minutes, the power cord must be
pulled out all the way. Otherwise
there is a danger of overheating and
damage.
Rewinding the power cord (Fig. 12)
 Unplug the power cord from the
socket.
 Step on the cord rewind foot switch.
The power cord will then retract itself
into the vacuum cleaner.
If you do not want the cord to retract
completely into the vacuum cleaner
you can deactivate this function. To do
this, take hold of the end of the cord
while rewinding it and give it a short
pull when you want the rewinding to
end.
Turning the vacuum cleaner on and
off (Fig. 13)
 Press the On/Off foot control .
Selecting the suction power

of effort required to maneuver the floor
brush.

the controls which indicate the type of
use the settings are suitable for.

 Deep pile carpets, rugs and run-
ners

carpets and rugs (also for clean-
ing upholstery and mattresses
with the upholstery nozzle)

 Turn the rotary selector to the suction
power setting you require.
During vacuuming
 When vacuuming, pull the vacuum
cleaner behind you on its wheels. You
can stand it upright for vacuuming
stairs and curtains, etc.
