INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the appliance, extract the power cable completely and plug into the mains. To
rewind the cable, unplug and press the cable winder pedal (H) (fig. 8) .
Operation
To turn the vacuum cleaner on, press the pedal switch (G) lightly (fig. 9).
Electronic suction power regulation (fig. 10)
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.
Mechanical suction power regulation (fig. 11)
The hose handgrip incorporates a mechanical suction regulator. This enables suction power to
be varied rapidly and practically by simply moving the slide.

CLEANING
Dust bag full indicator (fig. 12)
The dust bag full indicator (M) indicates when
the dust bag needs changing or the vacuum
hose is blocked.
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 environment.
Replacing the dust bag
To change the paper dust bag, pull the bag
compartment opening lever (N) (fig. 14) and
lift the cover. Remove the bag carefully by
pulling the fixing lever towards you (fig. 15).
This moves the bag backwards and enables it
to be removed easily. Slide the new bag into
the guides and push as far as it will go (fig.
16).
Hook the bag holder back in place and close
the cover of the appliance exerting light pres-
sure.
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 pre-
vents 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 collection
container, extract the dust bag and remove
the filter holder (fig. 17). 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 cor-
rectly.
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. To
replace, press and lift the grill (fig. 18).
Remove the filter (fig. 19).
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 bag changes. For HEPA filter models,
replace the filter every four dust bag chan-
ges.
** 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. 20).
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 (Fig. 21).
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.
To remove obstructions from the hose, detach the hose
from the handle and connector by pressing the tabs (F)
(fig. 13) then extract the hose. To reassemble the hose,
handle and connector, press the tabs and re-insert the
hose.
If this does not resolve the problem, take the appliance to
an authorised service centre.
