Keep your guarantee in a safe place and read the instructions carefully before using your appliance for the first time. 2 • Hints and precautions The power cord should be unwound completely before using the appliance. Do not snag or pinch the power cord, and avoid trailing it over sharp edges. If you use an extension cord, ensure that it is in perfect condition and appropriate to the power rating of your vacuum cleaner. Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord. Never use your vacuum cleaner without a dust bag and filtration system (cartridge). To avoid the above, your appliance is equipped with a security system (14) to detect the presence of filter cartridges (15a*, 15b*, 16*). Never move the vacuum cleaner by pulling the power cord, the appliance should always be moved using the transport handle. Do not use the power cord to lift the appliance. Switch off and unplug your vacuum cleaner after use. Always switch off and unplug your vacuum cleaner for maintenance or cleaning. Only use genuine Rowenta or Wonderbag dust bags and filters. Only use genuine Rowenta accessories. Check that all the filters are correctly installed. If you have any difficulty obtaining accessories and filters for this vacuum cleaner, contact Rowenta customer services. BEFORE USE 1 • Assembling the parts of the appliance Slot the hose into the suction opening (fig.1) and turn until it locks. To remove, turn in the opposite direction and pull (Fig 2)

• Slide the metal telescopic tube (19) onto the end of the handle (18a) (fig.3)

• Fit the floor nozzle (20) to the end of the metal telescopic tube (Fig.4)

• Set the metal telescopic tube to the required length using the telescopic adjustment system (fig.5) Fit the appropriate accessory to the end of the metal telescopic tube or the handle: - For rugs and carpets: use the all surface floor nozzle (20) in the brush retracted or Turbo brush* position (fibres and animal hair). - For smooth surfaces with crevices (such as tiled floors): use the all-surface nozzle (20) with the brush extended or, for better results, use the smooth surface nozzle* (21B.a*) without the removable brush. - For fragile surfaces, such as parquet, it is recommended to use the standard parquet nozzle (21A*) or the nozzle with line of bristles (21B.b*). - For corners and difficult areas: use the crevice tool (24)*. - For furniture and fragile surfaces: use the built-in brush ERGO COMFORT (EASY BRUSH) or the upholstery nozzle (25)*. VACUUMING N.B.: The nozzle for smooth surfaces with crevices 21B.a* is used to measure performance associated with the energy label. This nozzle allows you to optimise the dust-collection performance of your appliance on smooth surfaces with crevices.8 The air that we breathe contains particles that may be allergenic: the larvae and excrement of dust mites, mould spores, pollen, smoke and animal residues (hair, skin, saliva, urine). The finest particles can penetrate deeply into the respiratory system, where they can lead to inflammation and trigger general deterioration of the entire respiratory system. The (H)EPA (High) Efficiency Particulate Air Filter system effectively traps the very finest of particles. Thanks to the (H)EPA filter, the air returned to the room is healthier than the air initially sucked into the vacuum cleaner. 1 • Changing the dust bag The dust bag full indicator lets you know that the dust bag is full or saturated. If you observe a reduction in the efficiency of your appliance, set the power to maximum and hold the nozzle above the floor. If the indicator stays red, change the dust bag. a) If your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a Wonderbag* (17a) : IMPORTANT: UNIVERSAL Wonderbag* dust bags are available from your retailer or from Approved Service Centres. Remove the hose from the suction opening (Fig 2) Open the cover of your vacuum cleaner (fig.15). Remove the bag support from the bag compartment (fig.16). Remove the Wonderbag* from the bag support (fig.17). Dispose of the Wonderbag* in a dustbin (fig.18). Position a new Wonderbag* in the bag support using the ring (fig.19). Open out the bag and insert the bag support in the bag compartment (fig.20). Check that both the bag and the bag support are correctly positioned before closing the cover. b) If your vacuum is equipped with textile bag* (17b): Textile bags* (ref. RS-RT2274) are available from Approved Service Centres. Remove the hose from the suction opening (Fig 2) Open the cover of your vacuum cleaner (fig.15). Remove the bag support from the bag compartment (fig.21). Remove the textile bag* from the bag support (fig.22).
