1 • Assembling the elements of the
appliance
Push the flexible hose into the vacuum inlet (Fig.1) and
turn until it locks. To remove it, turn in the opposite
direction and pull.
•
Push the metal telescopic tube into the end of the power
nozzle until you hear a locking ‘click’ (Fig.2) (to release it,
push the locking button on the tube and remove it).
•Push the all floor type nozzle (22) into the end of the metal
telescopic tube until you hear a locking ‘click’ (Fig.3) (to
release it, push the locking button on the nozzle and
remove it).
• Adjust the telescopic metal tube to the required length
using the telescopic system (TELESCOPIC SYSTEM) (Fig.4)
Fit the appropriate accessory to the end of the metal
telescopic tube or the power nozzle:
- For rugs and carpets: use the all floor type nozzle in the
retracted brush nozzle position or the Turbobrush* (fibres
and animal hairs).:
- For parquets and smooth floors: use the all floor type
nozzle in the advanced position or, for a better result, use
the parquet nozzle*.
- For corners and hard to reach spots: use the telescopic
crevice tool*.
- For furniture and fragile surfaces: use the brush built into
the power nozzle (EASY BRUSH) or the upholstery
nozzle*.
2 • Plugging in the power cord and
switching on the appliance
Unwind the power cord completely, plug in your vacuum
cleaner and press on the On/Off button (Fig.7).
Remark: you can use your vacuum cleaner in the
horizontal position (sleigh position) but also in the vertical
p
osition, notably when you are vacuuming the stairs or
removing dust from the curtains.
Adjust the suction power:
⇨ using the electronic power control (Fig.8) :
• Position (MIN) for vacuuming delicate fabrics (net
curtains, textiles)
• Position (Medium) for everyday vacuuming for all
types of floors, which are only slightly
dirty
• Position (MAX) for vacuuming hard floors and
very dirty rugs and carpets.
⇨ with the manual power nozzle switch :
open the power control flap in order to reduce the suction
power manually and avoid the nozzle ”sticking” to the
surface that has been vacuumed (Fig. 9a* or 9b*) e.g.: net
curtains, fragile surfaces…
3 • Storing and carrying your
vacuum cleaner
After use, switch off your vacuum cleaner by pressing the
On/Off switch and unplug it (Fig.10). Rewind the power
cord by pressing the power cord rewind button (Fig.11). In
the vertical position place the nozzle in the parking
position (Fig.12).
This allows you to carry and store your vacuum cleaner
when it is in the parking position (Fig.13).
USING THE APPLIANCE
IMPORTANT Never operate your vacuum cleaner
without its bag and without its filtration system
(cassette).
IMPORTANT Always switch off and unplug your
vacuum cleaner before changing the accessories.
