• Check that the dust-bag container (3) and filters (7 and 9) are fitted correctly. See the following section (Changing the dust bag, the motor protection filter and the air outlet filter).

• Before using the vacuum cleaner, prepare the heads for the surface to be cleaned. They snap together with a gentle turn. The heads can be placed di- rectly on the flexible tube (14) or, for out-of-reach surfaces, fit the telescopic metallic tube (16).

• The suction brush (17) on these models can be used for all types of floors, car- pets, and rugs. This brush is retractable depending on the surface to be vacu- umed. To change the cleaning position of the brush, press the brush button (23) with your foot (fig. 3). We recommend cleaning hard floors, wood and parquet with the fibre brush activated, and cleaning carpets and rugs with the fibre brush hidden.

• If you wish, use the handle (21) to carry the vacuum cleaner while using it, and to get in to difficult places.

• When the indicator (6) 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 tube or in an attachment. To find out if that is the case, unplug the vacuum cleaner, remove the flexible pipe, and turn the vacuum cleaner on again. If the indicator does not show red, clean the flexible tube and its attachment.

hygiene. When removing the bag, hold it tightly by the side edges and pull the central cardboard piece upwards (fig. 4).

arrow on the bottom edge of the bag is pointing downwards, and check that the cardboard edge of the bag is inside the guide of the dust-bag carrier accessory (22), slide the bag until the end of the accessory guide (22) (fig. 5). The bag must be fitted correctly: confirm this by checking the cardboard edge on the bag. It must match the intake opening on the vacuum cleaner.
