Product Usage

Assembly/Disassembly

⚠️ WARNING!

• Never use the unit without a dust bag.
• Make sure the unit is switched off and unplugged from the mains socket before attaching or detaching any tools.

To install a dust bag:

1. Press the dust bag release latch (O) and lift the front cover (F).
2. Place the dust bag holder in an upright position.
3. Slide the cardboard part of the dust bag into the holder.
4. Push the dust bag holder back into a horizontal position and check that the bag fits correctly into the dust compartment. Close the front cover (F).

To assemble the hose and tubes:

1. Align the protruding sections on the flexible hose (E) with the notches on the main unit's flexible hose-connecting inlet (G), then push to insert it as far as it will go.
2. Insert the metal extension tube (B) into the flexible hose (E).
3. Adjust the length of the metal extension tube (B) by pushing the metal extension tube button (C) and moving the tube up or down to the desired length.
4. Fit one of the tools (e.g., brush) by inserting it into the metal extension tube or flexible hose.

Accessory Usage:

• The floor brush (A) is used for various flooring types. Press the pedal to retract the brush for carpets/rugs or extend it for smooth floors.
• The 2-in-1 folding brush (S) can be used folded to reach tight corners or unfolded for cleaning furniture and upholstery (curtains, cushions).
• Use the metal extension tube (B) for hard-to-reach areas.

ℹ️ NOTE: The floor brush may scratch or damage certain flooring or carpets. Test on a delicate surface first. The 2-in-1 folding brush (S) may be a suitable alternative.

To disassemble:

• Ensure the unit is switched off and unplugged.
• Press the cable rewind button (J) to stow the power cable (N).
• Pull off the flexible hose (E), metal extension tube (B), floor brush (A), or 2-in-1 folding brush (S) to detach them from the main unit (I). Store accessories as indicated in the Storage section.

Operation

• Plug the power cable (N) into the mains socket.
• Unwind the power cable up to the yellow mark. If the red mark is visible, the cable is unwound too far.
• Press the On/Off button (L) on the main unit (I) to turn the vacuum cleaner on or off.
• While in use, adjust suction power using the air outlet cover (D). Slide it upwards to open the outlet and decrease suction, or downwards to close it and increase suction.
• Always turn off the unit when finished. Unplug from the mains socket and rewind the power cable.

ℹ️ NOTE: For heavily soiled surfaces, turn off the unit regularly and check the accessory opening for cleanliness to prevent scratching delicate surfaces.

Use the handle (K or P) to carry the vacuum.
