Clean hard flooring which is not sus-
ceptible to scratching, as well as floor-
ing with gaps or deep crevices in it with
the brush protruding:
 Press the  foot control.
This type of flooring can be briefly va-
cuumed with the brush retracted. Car-
pets and rugs should be vacuumed with
the brush retracted:
 Press the  foot control.
If the suction power of the adjustable
floorhead seems too high, reduce the
suction until the floorhead is easier
to manoeuvre (see "Use" – "Regulat-
ing the suction power").
Adjustable floorhead (dia. 18)
The adjustable floorhead can also be
used for vacuuming the stairs.

For safety reasons when vacu-
uming stairs, it is best to start at the
bottom of the stairs and move up-
wards.
Unwinding the mains cable (dia. 19)
 Pull the mains cable out to the re-
quired length.
 Insert the plug into the socket.

If vacuuming for longer than 30
minutes, the cable must be pulled
out all the way. There is a risk of
overheating and damage.
Rewinding the cable (dia. 20)
 Switch off at the wall socket and un-
plug it.
40
 Step briefly on the cable rewind foot-
switch.
The cable will then retract itself fully into
the vacuum cleaner.
If you do not want the cable to retract
completely into the vacuum cleaner
you can stop it before it does. To do
this, take hold of the cable whilst re-
tracting it and give it a short pull when
you want the rewinding to end.
To switch on and off (dia. 21)
 Press the On/Off foot control .
To regulate the suction power
(dia. 22)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to man-
oeuvre the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the controls which indicate the type of
use the settings are suitable for.

if the suction seems too high, reduce
the suction power until the floorhead
is easier to manoeuvre.
