Before You Begin

The cleaner is designed for domestic household cleaning to remove DRY dirt and dust from carpets, flooring, and fabrics. It is not suitable for industrial cleaning or collecting materials like particle board, construction products, wood/fibres, cement, fillers, fibre glass, or excessive sand, as this may harm the cleaner and void the warranty.

Important: Always switch off and unplug the cleaner before performing any maintenance or cleaning. Ensure the cleaner is connected to an AC supply matching the voltage on the rating plate. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without filters.

Precautionary Measures:

• Do not operate the vacuum cleaner near heaters, radiators, or other hot surfaces.
• Ensure your hand is dry before inserting the plug into the wall.
• Remove any large or sharp objects from the floor or cleaning surface before use to prevent filter damage.
• When unplugging, pull the plug from the socket, not the power cable.
• If the air inlet, floor head, or telescopic tube are blocked, switch off the cleaner, disconnect from mains power, clear the blockage, and then attempt to restart.

• Disconnect from the power supply when not in use or before performing maintenance.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• Do not pull or carry the appliance by the power cable, use the cable as a handle, or pull it around sharp edges. Avoid running the appliance over the power cable.

Instructions for Use

Before using, unwind a sufficient length of cable and insert the plug into the power socket. A yellow mark on the power cable indicates the ideal length; do not extend beyond the blue mark.

1. Press the on/off button to turn the cleaner on.
2. To rewind the power cable, press the rewind button with one hand and guide the cable with the other to prevent whipping.

Connecting the vacuum cleaner:

1. Assembling or removing the hose: Insert the flexible hose into the hose inlet on the front of the vacuum cleaner and press until it clicks. To remove, disconnect from power, gently pull the hose while depressing the release buttons.
