Telescopic or rigid extensions (M)

Connect the telescopic extension to the end of the hose handgrip.

The telescopic extension enables the hose to be extended to the required length (fig. 3).

For versions without telescopic extension, join the two rigid extensions (fig. 4), connect them to the hose handgrip and attach the required tool to the opposite end.

N.B: All vacuuming tools can be connected either directly to the hose handgrip or to the tele scopic or rigid extension.

INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the appliance, extract the power cable completely and plug into the mains. To rewind the cable, unplug and press the cable wind button (fig. 11) .

Operation

To turn the vacuum cleaner on, lightly press the ON/OFF button (D) (fig. 12). In models with remote control, press the switch to turn the remote control unit on.

Models with remote control:

While cleaning, you can interrupt vacuuming by pressing the "StopVac" button (H) on the remote control. To resume cleaning, press the "Power Control" button (G).

The effectiveness of the remote control is guaran teed by means of two signal transmitters, enabling the signal to be transmitted both from the front and the back. However, bear in mind that the remote control should always be pointed towards the appliance.

NB:

the StopVac" button (H) interrupts vacuu ming but does not turn the appliance off. To turn off, press the ON/OFF button (D). To turn the appliance on, always press the ON/OFF button (D).

Electronic vacuum power regulation

The electronic regulator enables suction power to be varied according to the type of surface to be clea ned.

The maximum power of the appliance can therefore be exploited to vacuum dust from carpets or hard floors (marble, ceramics, cotto, etc) and a lower suc tion power to clean curtains or other light fabrics.

Models with remote control

By pressing the + or - button on the appliance (

U

or

V

) and (if present) on the remote control (button

G

) (fig. 13). You can choose between three power levels. The LED corresponding to the level chosen lights up (fig. 14).

NB:

the power can also be regulated with the bat teries flat by using the + or - (U or V) button on the appliance.

Models with power regulation knob (X- fig.15)

Turn the power regulation knob (X) towards MIN to reduce the power or towards MAX to increase it.

) indicates when the dust bag needs changing or the vacuum hose is You should change the bag before the full length of the indicator turns red to guarantee optimum hygiene and the quality of the air emitted into the

Replacing the dust bag

To change the paper dust bag, pull the bag com partment opening lever (fig. 17) and lift the cover.

Remove the bag carefully by pulling the fixing lever towards you (fig. 18).

This moves the bag backwards and enables it to be removed easily. Thread the new bag into the guides and push as far as it will go.

The bag provided with the appliance has a handy closure to avoid dust leaks. Just pull the edge of the paper until it is closed (fig. 19).

Hook the bag holder back in place and close the cover of the appliance exerting light pressure.

You should change the dust bag frequently when vacuuming up very fine dirt such as flour, talcum powder, etc.

NB:

The appliance has a safety device which prevents the dust bag compartment cover being closed when there is no dust bag in place.

Motor protection filter

To extend the working life of the appliance and protect the motor, it is vital to keep the motor pro tection filter clean.

To access the filter, open the dust collection con tainer, extract the dust bag and remove the filter holder (fig. 20). If the filter is not excessively dirty, simply remove the dust. If particularly clogged, it must be washed and dried.

Make sure the filter is dry before putting it back in the appliance.

When replacing the filter, make sure it is positio ned correctly.

Air outlet microfilter

Depending on the model, your appliance is fitted with a microfilter or high efficiency filter (

HEPA Filter

**). This is housed under the air outlet slits. Remove the rear grill (

E

) (fig. 21), take out the filter and wash with water. When completely dry, put back in place then reposition the grill correctly.

You should replace the filter at least every five dust bag changes. For HEPA filter models, replace the filter every four dust bag changes .

** The HEPA Filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air) removes impurities down to a size of 0.3 microns, fil tering all types of particle and even bacteria.

Important warning:

Never use the appliance without the filter.

Never wash the filter in the washing machine or dry with a hairdryer.

"PARKING" POSITION

The appliance is provided with a clip at the bottom to enable it to be put away safely and tidily in the parking position (

C

) (Fig. 22) If you have to interrupt cleaning for a brief period, the appliance has a convenient "parking" system.

Insert the bracket on the brush joint (

N

) into the clip (

C

) at the rear of the appliance (Fig. 23).

IMPORTANT WARNING

Malfunction of the appliance (low power, unusual noise or complete breakdown) could be caused by obstructed nozzles or hoses or faulty electrical components.

Check the nozzles, dust bag and motor protection filter.

If this does not resolve the problem, take the appliance to an authorised service centre.
