4. Operating Instructions
Learn how to effectively use your vacuum cleaner for various cleaning tasks.
- Starting the Vacuum: Press the On/Off button located on the main unit to start the appliance.
- Using the TriActive Nozzle: The TriActive nozzle is designed for both hard floors and carpets.

- Stopping the Vacuum: Press the On/Off button again to switch off the appliance.
