3. Product Components

Familiarize yourself with the main components of your Rowenta Compact Power vacuum cleaner:

1. Main Unit (Motor body with dust bag compartment)
2. Flexible Hose
3. Telescopic Metal Tube
4. Floor Nozzle (for carpets and hard floors)
5. Crevice Tool (usually stored on board or separately)
6. Upholstery Brush (usually stored on board or separately)
7. Power Cord with Plug
8. Dust Bag (inside the main unit)
9. Filters (motor protection filter, exhaust filter)

4. Setup

Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your vacuum cleaner for first use:

1. Attach the Flexible Hose: Insert the end of the flexible hose into the suction inlet on the main unit until it clicks securely into place. To remove, press the release button and pull.
2. Assemble the Telescopic Tube: Connect the handle end of the flexible hose to the telescopic metal tube. Then, attach your desired floor nozzle or accessory to the other end of the telescopic tube. Adjust the length of the telescopic tube by pressing the adjustment button and sliding it to your preferred height.
3. Check Dust Bag Installation: Open the dust bag compartment cover. Ensure a dust bag is correctly inserted and sealed. If not, insert a new Rowenta Hygiene+ dust bag, making sure the cardboard collar is properly seated in the holder. Close the compartment cover firmly.
4. Connect to Power: Unwind the power cord and plug it into a suitable electrical outlet. The power cord has an automatic rewind function; gently pull the cord to extend it and press the rewind button to retract it after use.

5. Operating Instructions

Your Rowenta Compact Power vacuum cleaner is now ready for use.

1. Powering On/Off: Press the On/Off button located on the main unit to start or stop the vacuum cleaner.
2. Adjusting Suction Power: The suction power can be adjusted using the electronic power variator on the main unit. For delicate surfaces or light cleaning, reduce the power. For heavily soiled areas or carpets, increase the power.
3. Managing Suction Effect (Ventosa Effect): On very smooth surfaces, the floor nozzle might create a strong suction effect, making it difficult to move. To alleviate this, open the air valve located on the handle of the flexible hose. This reduces the suction at the nozzle, allowing for easier movement while maintaining effective cleaning.
4. Using Attachments:
   • Floor Nozzle: Use for general cleaning of carpets and hard floors. Some nozzles have a brush selector for different surfaces.
   • Crevice Tool: Ideal for narrow spaces, corners, and edges.
   • Upholstery Brush: Suitable for cleaning furniture, curtains, and other fabric surfaces.
5. Operating Radius: The 6.2-meter power cord provides an 8.8-meter operating radius, allowing you to clean large areas without frequently changing power outlets.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner. Always unplug the appliance before performing any maintenance.

6.1. Dust Bag Replacement

The dust bag full indicator on the main unit will illuminate when the dust bag needs to be replaced. The 3-liter capacity ensures fewer changes.

1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the power outlet.
2. Open the dust bag compartment cover.
3. Carefully remove the full dust bag by pulling the cardboard collar. The bag's closing system will automatically seal to prevent dust leakage.
4. Dispose of the full dust bag in a waste bin.
5. Insert a new Rowenta Hygiene+ dust bag, ensuring the cardboard collar is fully seated in the bag holder.
6. Close the dust bag compartment cover firmly until it clicks.

6.2. Filter Maintenance

Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a motor protection filter and a high-efficiency exhaust filter (HEPA filter). These filters should be checked and cleaned/replaced regularly.

• Motor Protection Filter: This filter is located between the dust bag and the motor. Check it every 3-5 dust bag changes. If it is visibly dirty, tap it gently to remove dust or rinse it under cold water (ensure it is completely dry before reinserting). Replace it if it shows signs of wear.
• Exhaust Filter (HEPA Filter): This filter is usually located at the rear of the vacuum cleaner. It should be replaced approximately once a year, or more frequently with heavy use. Refer to your specific model's instructions for exact replacement intervals and filter type. Do not wash HEPA filters unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer.

6.3. General Cleaning

• Wipe the exterior of the vacuum cleaner with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Clean the floor nozzle and other attachments regularly to remove tangled hair, threads, and debris.
• Check the flexible hose for any blockages.
