1. Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the proper use, installation, and maintenance of your Rowenta ZR903801 Powerglide Nozzle. This accessory is designed to enhance the cleaning performance of compatible Rowenta Silence Force and X-Trem Power vacuum cleaners. Please read this manual thoroughly before first use to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your product.
The Powerglide Nozzle is compatible with Rowenta vacuum cleaners featuring a click system, including models from the RO64xx, RO63xx, some RO68xx, RO83xx, RO76xx, and some RO69xx series.
2. Setup and Installation
To attach the Powerglide Nozzle to your Rowenta vacuum cleaner, follow these steps:
- Ensure your vacuum cleaner is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet.
- Locate the connection point on the end of your vacuum cleaner's hose or extension tube.
- Align the Powerglide Nozzle's click system connector with the vacuum cleaner's connection point.
- Push the nozzle firmly onto the connection point until you hear a distinct 'click'. This indicates a secure attachment.
- Gently pull on the nozzle to confirm it is securely fastened before operating the vacuum cleaner.

3. Operating Instructions
The Rowenta Powerglide Nozzle features three practical settings designed for various floor types. Select the appropriate setting for optimal cleaning results and to protect your floor surfaces.
- Intensive Mode: This setting is ideal for deep cleaning of long pile carpets and rugs. It provides maximum suction and agitation to remove embedded dirt and debris.
- Universal Mode: Use this setting for general cleaning of short pile carpets and area rugs. It offers a balanced performance for everyday dirt and dust.
- Parkett Mode: Specifically designed for sensitive hard floors such as parquet, laminate, and tiles. This mode minimizes brush contact and provides gentle suction to prevent scratches and damage.
To change the mode, locate the selector switch on the nozzle and move it to the desired position. Always ensure the vacuum cleaner is off before adjusting the nozzle settings.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your Powerglide Nozzle ensures consistent performance and extends its lifespan.
- Cleaning the Brush Bar: Periodically inspect the brush bar for tangled hair, threads, or debris. Use scissors or a brush to carefully cut and remove any obstructions. Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged before performing this task.
- Wiping the Nozzle: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the nozzle. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic.
- Checking for Blockages: If suction performance decreases, check the nozzle's air pathways for any blockages. Remove any large debris that may be obstructing the airflow.
- Wheel Inspection: Ensure the wheels on the nozzle are free of debris and rotate smoothly. Clean if necessary.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Powerglide Nozzle, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Reduced Suction:
- Check for blockages in the nozzle's air intake or brush bar.
- Ensure the nozzle is securely attached to the vacuum cleaner's hose/tube.
- Verify that the vacuum cleaner's dust bag/container is not full and filters are clean.
- Nozzle Not Gliding Smoothly:
- Inspect the wheels for debris or damage.
- Ensure the correct operating mode (e.g., Parkett for hard floors) is selected for the surface.
- Nozzle Detaches During Use:
- Confirm the nozzle was clicked into place firmly during installation.
- Check for any damage to the click system connector on either the nozzle or the vacuum cleaner.
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact Rowenta customer support.
