DO NOT THROW AWAY THESE INSTRUCTIONSEN

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE (Fig. 1) A Dust container handle B Foot-operated cord rewinder button C Appliance body D Suction device coupling E Dust container F Foot-operated on/off switch G Narrow suction nozzle with brush H Suction hose I Floor brush L Hard floor / carpet selector switch M Manual air intake valve N Handle O Attachment fitting P Extension tubes ATTACHMENTS Extension tubes (P) Insert the extension tubes onto the handgrip and then fit the required attachment. Floor brush (I) - Ideal for cleaning large areas as well as corners that are difficult to reach.

We advise against using the brush to clean carpets and resistant floors. The brush has wheels to allow it to glide over all surfaces. Select the required projection for the bristles by pressing the lever at the end of the brush. To retract the bristles, press the lever marked with the carpet symbol - For better preservation and protection of smooth flooring such as PVC, parquet or tiles, it is better to use the brush. To lower the bristles, press the lever marked with the smooth flooring symbol. Narrow suction nozzle with brush (G) This suction device is ideal for cleaning between the folds on fabrics, joints, corners or niches that are impossible to reach using the floor cleaning device. This attachment can also be fitted directly to the handle (N).

VACUMM CLEANER ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT: Before fitting or removing attachments, always make sure that the vacuum cleaner has been unplugged from the power mains. - Insert the hose (H) into the air inlet (D) turning it gently until it locks into place (Fig. 2). - Insert one extension tube (P), or both if necessary, onto the handgrip (N). - Insert the required attachment onto the extesion tube.

CAUTION: Before using the vacuum cleaner, remove all large or sharp objects from the floor to avoid any possible damage to the cleaner itself. First of all, before using this appliance, unwind the power cord completely and plug the appliance into the mains socket. To switch on, press the foot switch (F) on the appliance. The cleaner is equipped with wheels to move it easily during use. IMPORTANT: The appliance might make a whistling sound that will stop after a few seconds.EN

WARNING: Switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately if air openings, brushes or extension

tubes are clogged. Remove the obstruction before switching the vacuum cleaner on again.

WARNING: This appliance is fitted with a safety system that switches it off automatically in

the event of overheating. If this device should be triggered, it will not be possible to switch on the appliance for about 30 minutes. Wait for the required amount of time before starting the suction function again and make sure that air can enter the vents and that none of the filters is clogged. Secondary air valve (M) The secondary air valve (M) is on the handle (N) and it serves to regulate suction power. The more open the valve, the lower the suction power and vice versa. - Push the valve upwards to open it and downwards to close. Open the valve to prevent curtains or similar items from being sucked in to the cleaner. - Minimum power for curtains and delicate items. - Medium power for cushions, pillows, mattresses and carpets. - Maximum power for tiled or wooden floors or for other strong, very dirty materials.

WARNING: Switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately if air openings, brushes or extension

tubes are clogged. Remove the obstruction before switching the vacuum cleaner on again. After using the cleaner Switch off the appliance using the foot switch (F). Then unplug the appliance from the mains power and hold down the foot pedal (B) on the appliance until the power cord is fully rewound.

WARNING: While rewinding the power cord, guide it in the right direction by hand to prevent

any risk of injury to yourself. Put away the appliance, placing the floor brush (I), if necessary, on the special hook on the back of the appliance (Fig. 3). Carrying the vacuum cleaner Only carry the appliance using the special handle on the top part (A).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, switch off the appli-

ance and unplug it from the mains power. The dirt vacuumed up will enter the dust container (E). The air is cleaned via a washable, permanent filter inside the dust container and by an air exhaust filter in the back of the appliance.

WARNING: Never use the vacuum cleaner if any filter is missing or damaged. Any dust

cleaned up will enter the appliance and damage the motor.

WARNING: Clean the filters regularly or in any case, whenever the suction power seems to

How to empty the dust container (E) - Press the release button and at the same time take out the dust container (E) using the handle (A) (Fig. 4). - Empty the dust container (E), opening the lid with the release button (Fig. 5). IMPORTANT: To empty the container and prevent any dirt from leaking out, we recommend first placing it inside a plastic bag and emptying it there. - To clean the container (E) fully, it is necessary to disassemble it completely, as described here below: - remove the whole filter by turning it anticlockwise (Fig. 6); - take the lid off the Hepa filter (Fig. 7). IMPORTANT: Wash the filter in clean water without soap or detergents. It is advisable to clean the filter at least every 6 months or in any case, when suction is visibly reduced. - The filter needs to be re-assembled before the appliance can be used again. - Insert the filter into the container (E) and lock it into place by turning it clockwise. - Refit the complete dust container (E) onto the body of the appliance, pressing gently until it clicks into place, making sure that the air intake on the container has fitted perfectly into its housing in the appliance bottom (Fig. 8). Cleaning the air outlet filter This filter cleans the air one last time before it leaves the vacuum cleaner. To clean the filter proceed as follows: - Use the lever to remove the small hatch on the back of the appliance (Fig. 9). - Clean the filter in cold water and leave it to dry (Fig. 10). - Refit the clean (or new) air outlet filter into the grid and return this to the appliance, pressing it down until it clicks into place.

WARNING: Only wash the filter in clean water, without using soap or detergents.

WARNING: It is advisable to clean the filter at least every 6 months or in any case, when suc-

tion is visibly reduced. Cleaning the vacuum cleaner The casing, dust container and filter seats can be wiped with a damp cloth if necessary. No liquid must enter the vacuum cleaner in the process. Never use heavy-duty cleaning substances (stain removers, thinners) because they can corrode the plastic surfaces. Only put the plug back into the mains socket when you are sure that all parts are thoroughly dry. IMPORTANT: Do not lubricate or oil any rotating parts, since this could cause dirt and fluff to stick even further Cleaning the brushes While the appliance is switched on, move your hand between the bristles on the brush to free them of any trapped dust, which will then be sucked into the cleaner.EN

TROUBLESHOOTING Thermal cutout switch The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermal cutout switch to protect it in the event that the motor overheats. If the vacuum cleaner suddenly switches off by itself, proceed as follows: - Switch off the vacuum cleaner and unplug it from the mains power. - Look for the origin of the overheating (blocked suction pipe, dirty filter, etc.) - Clean the hose, empty the dust container and clean the filters, if necessary. - Wait for about 30-40 minutes to allow the motor to cool down. - After 30-40 minutes, insert the plug in the mains socket and switch on the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner should now work. - If the vacuum cleaner still does not work, wait another 20 minutes and then try again. - If the cleaner still does not work, contact an Assistance Centre.FR
