ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Hose
Attach the connector to the coupling and push in until it locks into place (fig. 1).
To remove, press the release button on the connector and pull out (fig. 2).
Telescopic tube (different according to model)
Attach the telescopic tube to the handgrip
(fig. 3). The telescopic tube extends to the required length (fig. 4).
Tool holder (Fig. 5)
The tool holder on your appliance enables you to keep the smallest tools close at hand.
After attaching the tools to the tool holder, hook the tool holder to the hose near the handgrip.
USING THE CLEANING TOOLS
• Two position carpet/floor brush
Attach to the telescopic tube (fig. 6)
Efficiently removes dust from floors
(marble or tiled), rugs or carpets.
When the "hard floors" pedal ( )
(fig. 7) is pushed, the bristles protrude to clean hard floors more efficiently. This position is recommended for in-depth cleaning and floors with pronounced joints. When the "carpets" pedal ( ) (fig. 8) is pushed, the bristles retract and the brush is ready to clean fabric surfaces or vacuum up coarse dirt (e.g. large breadcrumbs) which would otherwise be trapped in the bristles of the brush.
• Crevice tool (Fig. 9) to clean radiators, corners, edges, drawers, etc. Fit onto the telescopic tube or handgrip and push as far as it will go.
• Multipurpose nozzle (fig. 10)
To clean upholstered furniture, mattresses, garments, car seats etc.
• Parquet brush
This special brush has soft natural horsehair bristles and felt wheels which run over even the most delicate floor without damaging it, leaving it perfectly clean
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 pedal (fig. 11) .
Operation
To turn the vacuum cleaner on and off, lightly press the pedal switch (fig. 12).
Models with remote control on handgrip:
While cleaning, you can also interrupt vacuuming by pressing the "StopVac" button on the remote control. To resume cleaning, press one of the power regulation buttons ( + or ).
NB: the button interrupts vacuuming but does not turn the appliance off. To turn off, press the pedal switch .
Electronic suction power regulation
The electronic regulator enables suction power to be varied according to the type of surface to be cleaned.
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 suction power to clean curtains or other light fabrics.
Models with remote control on handgrip:
Press buttons "+" and "-" on the appliance or remote control unit (fig. 13) to choose the power level. The corresponding LED lights up (MIN, MED, MAX).
NB: the power can also be regulated with the batteries flat by using the buttons on the appliance.
13
Models without remote control on handgrip:
Turn the power regulation knob on the appliance (fig. 14).
CLEANING
Replacing the remote control batteries (certain models only)
If the remote control commands do not work, you must replace the batteries. Open the cover of the compartment (fig. 15) and replace the batteries with the same type.
EPS (Electronic Protection System) dust bag full indicator
The indicator lights up when the vacuum duct is blocked or the dust bag is full. When it comes on (fig. 16A), replace the bag.
In models with remote control , all three indicator lights on the power regulator (fig. 16B) come on to show that the system is activated.
If you continue to use the appliance after the indicator has come on, the vacuum power is reduced automatically. This is a safety device to avoid damage to the motor.
Once the cause leading the EPS system to intervene has been removed, turn the appliance off then on again by pressing the pedal . This is the only way to turn the appliance back on.
Replacing the dust bag
To change the paper dust bag, pull the bag compartment opening lever (fig. 17) and lift the cover. Remove the bag holder (fig. 18).
Place the bag holder over a rubbish bin, close the bag by pulling the tab on the cardboard (fig. 19) and drop it into the bin.
Replace with a new bag, put the bag holder back and close the dust bag compartment again exerting light pressure.
To guarantee vacuuming efficiency and exploit the full capacity of the bags, use bags authorised by the manufacturer only.
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 protection filter clean. To access the filter, open the dust bag compartment, extract the dust bag and remove the filter
(fig. 20). If the filter is not excessively dirty, simply remove the dust. If the filter is very dirty, wash and dry.
Make sure the filter is perfectly dry before replacing it. Make sure it is positioned correctly.
Air outlet filter
Your appliance is fitted with a high efficiency filter ( HEPA Filter** )
This is housed under the air outlet slits.
To replace, press and lift the grille (fig. 21).
Remove the filter.
Replace the filter by resting it in position then close the grill, exerting light pressure until the clips click into place.
You should replace the filter at least every five dust bags changes.
** The HEPA Filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air) removes impurities down to a size of 0.3 microns, filtering all types of particle and even bacteria.

PARKING" POSITION
The appliance is provided with a hose tidy system on the bottom to enable it to be put away safely and tidily (Fig. 22).
If you have to interrupt cleaning for a brief period, the appliance has a convenient hose
"parking" system. Insert the bracket on the brush joint into the housing on the bottom of the appliance. Insert the bracket on the brush joint into the clip 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, bags and motor protection filter.
If this does not resolve the problem, take the appliance to an authorised service centre.
