3 Use

This appliance has been exclusively designed to vacuum clean floors, carpets, furniture and fabrics. Do not use it for any other purpose.
Never vacuum live ash, splinters, sharp objects, or liquids. Never vacuum lit matches or cigarette butts.
Completely remove all transportation and packaging items.
Unplug the plug from the mains before placing or removing the accessories or opening the cover of the bag compartment.

Do not use the appliance over the power supply cord.

1 Check that the dust-bag container (19) and filters (23 and 25) are fitted correctly. See the following section (Cleaning and Maintenance).
2 Fit the flexible hose (7), placing the fitting (6) in the bag compartment opening (5), until you hear a click. To remove the hose, press the detach latches (8), turn and pull on the fitting.
3 Prepare the accessories that correspond to the surface you desire to clean. They snap on with a gentle turn. The attachments can be placed directly on the flexible hose (7) or, for out-of-reach places, the telescopic metallic tube (11) can be used.

• The suction brush (13) on these models can be used for all types of floors, carpets and rugs. This brush is retractable so it adapts to the surface to be vacuumed. To change the cleaning position of the brush, press the brush button (14) with your foot (fig. 3). We recommend cleaning hard floors, wood and parquet with the fibre brush enabled, and cleaning carpets and rugs with the fibre brush retracted.
• This model is supplied with a vacuum nozzle for narrow places, grooves and corners (15) that can be placed directly on the flexible hose (7) or the telescopic metal tube (11).
• The length of the telescopic tube (11) can be changed by moving the adjustment button (12) while moving both parts of the telescopic tube.

4 Pull out the cord (2) to the yellow mark (ideal length). If necessary, the cord can be pulled out to the red mark, but not any further.
5 Place the operating and regulating knob (16) at the MIN position and plug into the mains.
6 Switch the vacuum cleaner on by pressing the control knob (16) and regulate the motor power by turning the knob (do not press the knob, because this will switch off the vacuum cleaner).

Notice that the knob (16) has both the on/off function (by pressing) and the motor power regulating function (by turning).

7 Suction power can also be adjusted by opening or closing the mechanical power regulator on the handle (10).
8 When finished, switch the appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button (16). Unplug it and press the button (18) on the handle to wind up the cord. Hold the cord plug in your hand to prevent it from banging against the vacuum cleaner housing.
9 The handle (18) can be used to carry the vacuum cleaner.

4 Cleaning and Maintenance

Changing the dust-bag (19)

When the indicator (17) is completely red, a new paper bag must be installed in the vacuum cleaner.

• This indicator may show red if something is stuck in the flexible hose or in an attachment. To find out if that is the case, unplug the vacuum cleaner, remove the flexible hose, and turn the vacuum cleaner on again. If the indicator does not show red, clean the flexible hose and its attachment.
• To change the paper bag, unplug the vacuum cleaner and proceed as follows:

1 Open the bag compartment by pressing on the latch (4) and lifting the cover (fig. 1).
2 Remove the plastic base (20) and the bag (19).
3 Press the tab (21) and separate the base while holding the bag by the carton (fig. 4). Do not crumple the bag, as this may expel the dust inside.
4 Place the new paper bag inside the plastic base (20) and lower the notch (22).
5 Place the base with the new bag (fig. 5) in the compartment and make sure that it fits tightly.
6 To close the compartment (2), lower the cover and press down on the opening space with your hand (1), until you hear a click (fig. 2).

It is very important that the bag be placed correctly.

Changing the motor protection filter (23)

We recommend that you check the motor protection filter regularly to make sure that it works properly. This will rule out that poor placing of the filter or of the dust-bag, or tears or leaks in the bag obstruct the appliance and reduce suction capacity.
Replace the motor protection filter every 6 changes of the dust-bag.

1 Open the dust-bag container by pressing on the latch (4), and lifting the cover (fig. 1).
2 Remove the plastic base (20) and the bag (19).
3 Remove the filter by pulling the top upward (fig 6).
4 Insert the new filter, making sure that it is properly placed and fits tightly in the top rubber seal.

Never use the vacuum cleaner without the motor protection filter.

Changing the air outlet filter (26)

We recommend that you check the motor protection filter regularly to make sure that it works properly. This will rule out that poor placing of the filter or of the dust-bag, or tears or leaks in the bag obstruct the appliance and reduce suction capacity.
Replace the motor protection filter every 6 changes of the dust-bag.

1 Remove the cover of the outlet filter by pressing on the opening button (27), (fig.7).
2 Separate the filter from the cover (fig. 8).
3 Insert the new filter in the cover and place the cover with the filter in its place (fig.9): make sure that the latch on the cover coincides with its housing and press the cover on the side of the opening button until you hear a click.

Never use the vacuum cleaner without the air outlet filter.

Cleaning

Clean the appliance before the first use, immediately after each use and after a prolonged period of disuse.
Unplug the appliance from the mains before cleaning.

1 Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products or solvents.
