OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Danger!
This device uses a high electrical voltage which can be dangerous. Do not use
the appliance when the cable is defective or if the device has visible damage.
Never open the casing; this should only be done by the service engineer. Do not
vacuum hot ashes, live cigarette ends, matches, sharp objects, splinters, water or any
other liquids. This can damage the vacuum cleaner and can put you in serious danger.
Hot ashes, live cigarette ends etc. can set the filter on fire and liquids can lead to short
circuits. Sharp objects can damage the filter. Do not allow children to play with any
plastic packaging as it may result in suffocation.
Danger!
Never expose the vacuum cleaner to outdoor elements such as rain or snow.
Always unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains before cleaning or removing
the filter. Children maybe unaware of the dangers of electrical products so should not
use the vacuum cleaner without supervision.
Caution!
Hold the plug firmly when rewinding the cable. The powerful rewind mechanism
can result in the cable whipping. Despite having a filter, it is possible that a
small quantity of dirt is present in the air emitted by the exhaust. This can be inhaled
and result in allergic reactions. For this reason, do not vacuum when someone who
may have a reaction is present.
Important!
Never pull the plug out of the socket by tugging on the cable, always grip the
plug itself. Never sit on or place objects on the vacuum cleaner. Only use the
vacuum cleaner when the filters are fitted. The filters must not be damaged.
Important!
Before vacuum cleaning a shampooed carpet, wait until it is completely dry. Never
leave the vacuum cleaner close to a heater or an oven.
In the event of the device being damaged, or if repairs are required, contact the
customer service department. Faults resulting from improper use, failure to follow the
instructions or damage caused by repairs done by a third party are not covered by the
guarantee. This also applies to the wear of component parts such as the filter.
Danger! High risk – ignoring the warning can result in loss of life or
serious injury.
Caution! Medium risk – ignoring the warning can cause injury.
Important! Low risk – ignoring the warning can cause damage to the
appliance.
You will find the following symbols in this instruction booklet:

Important!
If you have the available storage, we recommend that you keep the packaging
until the guarantee runs out. If the device must be sent to be repaired, the
original packaging will ensure that it is adequately protected.
If you wish to dispose of the packaging, please do so in a manner that will not cause
damage to the environment.
Used filters can be disposed of domestically.
Switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately if the air intake, floor head or the telescopic
tube becomes blocked. Remove any substance which appears to be causing the
blockage.

REGULATING SUCTION POWER
The airflow adjustment switch is situated on the handle. Sliding
this adjusts the suction power. The wider it is opened, the less
the suction power and vice-versa. Open the airflow adjustment
switch to prevent curtains and other fine material from getting
stuck.
WHEN VACUUM CLEANING
Before using the device first extend the
cable to a suitable length and plug it in
the socket. The cable has a yellow mark
on it which shows the maximum length it
can extend to.
To switch on the device press the ON/
OFF foot pedal switch .
It is advised to use the device so that it
trails behind you.
AFTER VACUUM CLEANING
Turn off the device when you have finished cleaning. To do this press the ON/OFF
foot pedal switch . To rewind the cable, press the cable rewind foot pedal and
hold it in position. The cable will rewind automatically, back into place. The floor head
should remain attached to the hose, for ease of storage after use.
In the event of a major blockage or that the dust container is too full, the vacuum
cleaner will automatically stop working to avoid over-heating. This will prolong the life
of motor.
Minimal suction power (switch fully open): curtains and fine materials.
Medium suction power: cushions and mattresses. Maximum suction power (switch
closed): tiled, wooden and robust floor that has been heavily soiled.
The cyclonic vacuum cleaner is bagless. The dirt is forced up into the vacuum cleaner
by the airflow created. The air is then filtered and cleaned by its internal structure.
USING THE VACUUM CLEANER

12
EMPTYING THE DUST CONTAINER
Because of the transparent design, it is easy to see when the
appliance needs to be cleaned or emptied. Switch off the vacuum
cleaner and disconnect the plug from the mains. When doing this
always pull using the plug and not the cable. Press the release
button on the top of the dust container to release it. Take the dust
container to a waste bin and release the clip at the base. Make
sure to be over the bin when doing this.
CLEANING THE FILTER SYSTEM
Important!
Ensure that the dust container has been disconnected from the body of
the vacuum cleaner before opening the lid to access the filter system.
The filter system should be cleaned regularly. It is advised to clean the
filter as often as emptying the dust container.
Important!
The filter material is soft and fine, so clean the filter gently. Only ever
wash the filter with clean water and do not use soap or detergent; this is
likely to destroy the filter.
CLEANING THE HEPA FILTER
The HEPA filter and the cover should be cleaned regularly. It is advised to clean the
HEPA filter as often as emptying the dust container. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and
disconnect the plug from the mains. When doing this always pull using the plug and
not the cable.
Turn the dust container lid carefully, until it unlocks. The filter will then be easy to
access.

debris. It too can be cleaned with water but make sure
it is totally dry before placing it back into the appliance.
Secure the lid by clicking it back into place.

the release button to release the exhaust grill. Turn the exhaust filter holder
anti-clockwise to access the filter. Take out the exhaust filter and holder to
then clean it. Please follow the cleaning method as described in the ‘Cleaning
the HEPA Filter’ section.
CLEANING THE BODY
Switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the plug from the socket.
Important!
No parts can be washed in a dishwasher.
The body, the dust container and the filter chambers can be wiped with a damp cloth if
required. Avoid any liquid from entering any of the vacuum cleaners openings. Do not
use strong cleaning substances and do not use coarse objects like a scouring pad as
this will damage the plastic surface. Only plug in the appliance once all elements are
completely dry. Hair and fluff may gather on the wheels and on the base of the floor
head. Ensure to remove this so to avoid the either becoming jammed.
Important!
Oiling or lubricating any part of the vacuum cleaner is not recommended as this
will cause dirt and fluff to become stuck.
