VACUUMING

position or in a vertical position, particularly for vacuuming
stairs or curtains.
Adjusting suction power:
? with the electric power regulator (fig.8)
? with the mechanical power regulator on the handle:
Slide open the mechanical adjuster to manually reduce
suction power and avoid allowing the nozzle to remain 'stuck'
to the surface being cleaned (fig.9) eg. net curtains, fragile
surfaces etc.
If your model is equipped with the ERGO COMFORT* handle,
open the regulator as appropriate:
• Position (MIN) for vacuuming delicate textiles (net
curtains, textiles)
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The air that we breathe contains particles that may be
allergenic: the larvae and excrement of dust mites, mould
spores, pollen, smoke and animal residues (hair, skin, saliva,
urine). The finest particles can penetrate deeply into the
respiratory system, where they can lead to inflammation and
trigger general deterioration of the entire respiratory system.
The (H)EPA (High) Efficiency Particulate Air Filter system
effectively traps the very finest of particles.
Thanks to the (H)EPA filter, the air returned to the room is
healthier than the air initially sucked into the vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Always switch off and unplug your
vacuum cleaner for maintenance.
1 • Changing the dust bag
The dust bag full indicator lets you know that the dust bag is
full or saturated. If you observe a reduction in the efficiency of
your appliance, set the power to maximum and hold the
nozzle above the floor. If the indicator stays red, change the
dust bag.

(17a) :
IMPORTANT: UNIVERSAL Wonderbag* dust bags are
