USING THE APPLIANCE
CAUTION: Before using the vacuum cleaner, remove all large or sharp objects from the floor to avoid
any possible damage to the cleaner itself.
First of all, before using this appliance, unwind the power cord completely and plug the appliance into
the mains socket.
To switch on the appliance, press the foot switch (G) on the vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT: In some cases, the appliance may “whistle” when switched on. This is not a fault and
the noise will go away with time.
Secondary air valve (P)
The secondary air valve (P) is on the hand grip (Q) and it is used to regulate suction power (FIG. 4).
The larger the valve opening, the lower the suction power and vice versa.
- To open the valve, push the lever upwards and to close it, push the lever downwards.
Valve adjustment depends on the type of surface:
- Minimum suction power for curtains and delicate materials.
- Medium suction power for cushions, mattresses and carpets.
- Maximum suction power for tiled, wood or other resistant floor surfaces that are heavily soiled.
WARNING: Switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately if the air inlets, brushes or telescopic tube be-
come blocked. Remove the cause of the blockage before switching the vacuum cleaner on again.
After using the vacuum cleaner
After use, switch off the vacuum cleaner using the pedal switch (G), unplug it from the mains power
and wind in the cord by pressing the cord winder pedal (D) on the appliance. The cord will wind inside
the appliance container.
WARNING: While winding the power cord, guide it with one hand so as to prevent injury and take care
in the presence of children or pets.
Put away the appliance, inserting the floor brush (M) into the hook on the back of the cleaner (FIG.
5), if necessary.
Carrying the vacuum cleaner
This vacuum cleaner has a carry handle (E).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, switch off the appliance and
unplug it from the mains power.
The vacuumed dirt goes into the dust container (B). The air is cleaned by a permanent and wash-
able filter, inside the container itself (B) and by a motor protection filter in the special compartment
(H).
WARNING: Never use the vacuum cleaner if any filter is missing or damaged. Any dust cleaned up
will enter the appliance and damage the motor.
WARNING: Clean the filters regularly or in any case, whenever the suction power seems to be re-
duced.
