Regulating the suction
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.

controls. The symbols indicate the type
of use the settings are suitable for.
The setting selected will light up yellow.
# - curtains, lightweight fabrics
$ - upholstery, cushions
% - thick pile carpets, rugs and
runners
* - for daily energy-saving vacuuming
(this setting is also very quiet)
( - loop-pile carpets
) - hard flooring and for intensive
cleaning of carpets
Warning: When using the AirTeQ
floorhead, if the suction seems too
high, reduce the suction until the
floorhead is easier to manouevre.
Depending on the model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with one
of the following suction power selectors:

higher setting.
