To open the air inlet valve (dia. 23 +
24)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the
vacuum cleaner.
^ Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to
manoeuvre. Close the valve when you
are ready to use full power again.
During vacuuming (dia. 25)
^ When vacuuming, pull the cleaner
behind you on its wheels. You can
stand it upright for vacuuming stairs
and curtains etc.
,
When vacuuming fine dust, e.g.
sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, talcum
powder etc., electrostatic charges
build up naturally. Under certain
conditions these charges will be
released. To avoid the unpleasant
effects of these discharges, a metal
inlay has been incorporated into the
underside of the handle. Please
make sure that you keep your hand
in constant contact with this metal
strip during vacuuming.

Setting down, transportation
and storage
Park system for pauses whilst
vacuuming (dia. 26)
The Park system allows you to
conveniently park the suction tube and
floorhead during pauses.
^ Slot the floorhead into the parking
attachment at the back of the
vacuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a
sloping surface, e.g. a ramp, retract
the telescopic tube fully.
Park system for storage (dia. 27)
,
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply
when you have finished using it.
Switch it off at the wall socket and
unplug it.
^ Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
Retract the telescopic tubes fully so
that the vacuum cleaner takes up
less room for storage.
^ Slot the floorhead downwards into
one of the parking attachments on
the side of the vacuum cleaner.
This makes the vacuum cleaner easier
to carry or store.
