Risk of injury caused by falling
vacuum cleaner.
You may be injured if the vacuum
cleaner should fall from the stairs.
When vacuuming stairs, it is best to
start at the bottom of the stairs and
move upwards.
Unwinding the mains cable (Fig. 21)
 Pull the mains cable out to the re-
quired length.
 Insert the plug into the socket.

Risk of damage due to overheat-
ing.
The mains cable may overheat after
a long period of use.
If vacuuming for longer than
30 minutes, the cable must be pulled
out all the way.
Rewinding the cable (Fig. 22)
 Switch off at the wall socket and un-
plug it.
 Press the rewind foot switch. The
cable will rewind automatically.
Switching on and off (Fig. 23)
 Press the On/Off footswitch .
Regulating the suction power
(Fig. 24)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to man-
oeuvre the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the controls which indicate the type of
use the power levels are suitable for.

 Loop pile carpet and rugs
 Hard floors and heavily soiled

When using the adjustable floorhead,
if the suction seems too high, reduce
the suction power until the floorhead
is easier to manoeuvre.
 Turn the suction power selector
manually to the power level you re-
quire.
Opening the air inlet valve (Fig. 25)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other textile flooring being sucked into
the vacuum cleaner.
 Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to man-
oeuvre.
During vacuuming
 When vacuuming, pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its wheels. You can stand
it upright for vacuuming stairs and
curtains etc.
