The vacuum cleaner is supplied with a paper dust bag
already in place. Never use the vacuum cleaner without a
properly fitted dust bag and main filter. The procedure
for replacing the dust bag is described under point 6.

1. Starting / stopping
Hold the plug and draw the cable all the way out of the
vacuum cleaner.
Plug the cable into the wall socket.
Switch the vacuum cleaner on and off by pressing button 2.
Models with two speed regulation
The motor has two power settings - high power and low
power.
The motor will start under whatever power setting was in
effect the last time the vacuum cleaner was in use.
You can cycle between high power and low power by
repeatedly pressing button 2, drawing 1.
2. Connecting the hose and tube
Insert the hose connector into the inlet port and turn it
clockwise until it engages. To remove the hose, turn
anticlockwise. Connect the hose to the tube and nozzle
by pressing the parts together.
Models with telescopic tube
The telescopic tube can be adjusted to your height. Hold
the smallest tube and press the grey button with one
hand while pulling the smallest tube out or pushing it in
to the desired length with the other hand.
3. Fitting the parking bracket to the tube
1. Slide the ring onto the tube.
2. Push the sleeve up the tube until it “clicks” into the
second groove on the telescopic tube.
3. Slide the ring on top of the sleeve and lock it in place
by turning it anticlockwise.
4. Then press the parking bracket XX into place on the
sleeve by pressing hard.
4. Parking the tube and nozzle
Pull the plug free of the cord connection point.
Turn the nozzle so that the suction surface on the nozzle
is facing away from the machine to avoid scratching the
shield, and press the parking bracket – fitted on the tube
– down into the recess in the cord connection point.
5. Adjusting suction
The suction can be adjusted using the sliding knob on the
curved plastic tube. The suction is strongest with the
knob pushed forward and closing the aperture .
When vacuuming rugs, for example, the suction can be
reduced by moving the sliding knob back to allow other
air in.
Models with twin setting
The motor has two suction settings: high/low suction.
The motor will start in the setting last used.
You can adjust the vacuum cleaner to high or low suction
by pressing button 2 once.
