PARTS AND ACCESSORIES 02

The cyclonic vacuum cleaner comes preassembled. If there are any hard to reach or narrow areas, then the
telescopic extension is ideal. It will need to be attached to the air inlet (1), and the required cleaning attachment
fitted to the end (2).
STEP 1:
STEP 2:
STEP 3:
STEP 4:
Attach the telescopic extension to the air inlet.
Push the floor brush attachment onto the end of the telescopic extension.
Adjust the telescopic extension tube to the required length by pressing the
telescopic extension tube button and sliding out the tube.
Select which position on the floor brush is required for the floor type by
pressing the switch forwards or backwards. Switching it forwards lifts the
brushes for use on carpet, and switching it backwards lowers the brushes for
