Insert the power cable into the electrical socket.

To start the vacuum, press the ON/OFF switch.

Adjust the air volume, closing and/or opening the window to allow air to enter the tube handle, thus regulating the power of the vacuum.

NOTE- If you experience loss of vacuum power, a strange noise, or the appliance stops working, check immediately whether the rigid tube or flexible tube is blocked with objects or if the bin is full. If you cannot find the reason for the anomaly, go to the Technical Assistance Service.

Multi-surface brush:

Warning: Do not wash the filter in the washing machine or dry it with an electric heater. Please replace it after it has air dried.

WARNING- Never under any circumstances should you wash the filters in the washing machine or dishwasher!

If necessary, rinse the filters in clean, warm water. Next, shake the excess water and let the parts air dry completely.

After cleaning, set up the filters again and place them in the dust bin deposit.

WARNING- Do not place the filters inside the dust bin if one of the parts is damp.
