OPERATING MANUAL – ASSEMBLY OF THE VACUUM CLEANER

NOTE

Always disconnect the plug from the mains outlet prior to mounting or removing accessories!

1. Connecting the flexible hose to the appliance

Insert the flexible hose into the appliance's air suction inlet.

Continue pushing until you hear a clicking sound, which indicates that the correct position has been reached.

For removing the flexible hose, press both stopper buttons and remove the hose (Fig. 1).

The suction power can be controlled manually on the hose throttle.

When the slide throttle is closed, the air flow is stronger.

Slide throttle in open position - weaker air flow.

1. Attaching the telescopic tube to the hose adapter

Put the telescopic tube on the hose adapter and turn it slightly.

1. Extending the telescopic tube

Press the plastic latch and pull the smaller tube outwards.

1. Fixing the floor attachment to the telescopic tube

Insert the telescopic tube into the floor attachment and turn it slightly.

The flap (Fig. 2) is used for setting the floor attachment to brushing (for smooth floors), or to smooth vacuuming (for carpets).

ACCESSORIES

1. Slot nozzle

The slot nozzle adapter is used for vacuum cleaning the places accessible with difficulty, such as radiators, slots, corners, pedestals, spaces between upholsteries, and others.

This upholstery nozzle attachment is used for smaller upholstery areas. The detachable brush is used for vacuum cleaning shelves, books, furniture and others.

APPLIANCE USE

Before using the appliance, make sure that the filters and the dust collection bag are properly positioned and mounted. Unwind the supply cable length you need. The yellow mark on the supply cable indicates the optimum cable length. Do not unwind the supply cable beyond the red mark!

1. Insert the plug into the electric voltage socket.
2. Press the ON/OFF switch on the appliance.
3. Set up the suction power you need using the slide throttle.
4. After you have finished vacuum cleaning, switch the appliance off and disconnect it from the electric voltage socket.
5. For winding the supply cable up, press the wind button with one hand and hold the supply cable with the other hand to avoid its uncontrolled movement.

DUST RETENTION BAG FILL CHECK

When the dust retention bag fill indicator becomes red during operation, replace the full dust retention bag immediately.

If the dust retention bag fill indicator is still red after the the bag replacement, it may be due to several causes:

• Some of the air passages (hoses, telescopic tube, suction inlet, brush adapter, or other adapters) are obstructed;
• Motor filter is dirty;
• Air outlet filter is dirty.

Check each of these causes and remove any of them before you start using the appliance. Should you fail to find the fault, forward the appliance to the service centre nearest to you. Never use the appliance when the dust retention bag fill indicator is fully red as this may damage the motor beyond repair.

MAINTENANCE

You can clean the accessories and the appliance with a wet cloth. Never immerse the appliance

in water! Do not use any aggressive substances for cleaning, such abrasives!

DUST RETENTION BAG REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains, pull the hose out of the suction inlet, and open the appliance's cover (Fig. 3).
2. Remove the full dust retention bag and dispose of it. Make sure it does not get

ripped open when handled.

1. Insert a new bag by sliding the pasteboard lamella into the bag holder, and insert the holder into the appliance (Fig. 4). The bag opening must be aligned with the hole in the appliance cover.
2. Only use the appliance when a dust collection bag has been inserted into it! If you forget to insert the dust collection bag, or you place it incorrectly, you will not be able to fully close the appliance cover.
3. Close the cover by pushing it until it clicks into the right position.

FILTER REPLACEMENT

• Filters should be cleaned or replaced when they are visibly dirty, or the appliance's suction power is reduced. Check the filters after every use of the appliance.
• In order not to damage the appliance, do not use it with incorrectly fixed filters.
• Before replacing the filters, disconnect the appliance from the socket.
• You can buy suitable types of filters from your dealer, or you can order them with the manufacturer.

MOTOR FILTER CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect the flexible hose and open the appliance cover.
2. Pull the dust collection bag out of its holder so that you can access the motor filter more easily.
3. Remove the motor filter (Fig. 6). You can clean the filter by tapping and shaking. If the filter is heavily soiled, you can wash it in lukewarm water and let it dry properly.
4. Insert the cleaned or new motor filter into the appliance and close the cover.

CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR OUTLET FILTER

Remove the air outlet filter. This type of vacuum cleaner is equipped with an H.E.P.A. filter in the outlet (Fig. 7), which is capable of catching even very fine dust particles. You can clean this filter by tapping and shaking, and then with a soft brush. After this operation is complete, you can clean a very dirty filter by washing and rubbing with a soft brush in lukewarm water without any cleaning agents added. It is important to let the wet parts dry thoroughly.

A wet filter would get damaged by vacuum cleaning! Do not use a hair dryer for drying!

Note: Wet cleaning may cause more wear and tear of the filter and, consequently, shorten its service life.
