Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off and Suction Modes
Press the power button to turn the vacuum cleaner on. The appliance offers multiple power levels. Use the control panel to select the appropriate suction power for your cleaning task. The Power Led Vision head illuminates the cleaning path, making dust visible even in dark areas.
2. Using the Aqua Head (Vacuum and Mop)
With the Aqua head attached and filled, the vacuum cleaner can simultaneously vacuum and mop hard floors. Move the vacuum cleaner slowly over the surface to allow for effective cleaning and mopping.
3. Boost Function
For stubborn dirt or high-traffic areas, press the Boost trigger to activate maximum suction power. Release the trigger to return to the standard power setting.
4. Flex Technology
The flexible tube allows the vacuum to reach up to four times further under low-lying furniture without needing to bend down. Simply press the 'Flex' button on the tube to activate this feature.

Maintenance
1. Emptying the Dust Bin
The 0.55L dust bin is designed for easy access and emptying. Simply detach the handheld unit, open the bin, and dispose of the contents. The bin does not need to be removed from the tube for emptying.
2. Cleaning Filters
The dust bin and EasyWash filter are 100% washable. Remove the filter and dust bin, rinse them under running water, and allow them to air dry completely before reassembling. Regular cleaning ensures optimal filtration and suction performance.
3. Cleaning the Aqua Head and Mop Pads
After each use, empty any remaining water from the Aqua head tank. Remove and wash the mop pads. Allow them to dry completely before storing. Clean the Aqua head itself with a damp cloth.
4. Cleaning Brushes and Accessories
Periodically check the main brush roll and any mini electro brushes for tangled hair or debris. Use scissors to cut away hair and remove any obstructions. Clean other accessories with a damp cloth as needed.
