During vacuuming (dia. 12)
When vacuuming especially fine
dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc.,
electrostatic charges build up
naturally. Under certain conditions
these charges will be released. To
avoid the unpleasant effects of
these discharges, a metal inlay has
been incorporated into the
underside of the handle. Please
make sure that you keep your hand
in constant contact with this metal
strip during vacuuming.
Regulating the suction (dia. 13)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power will make
the floorhead easier to manoeuvre.
Some models also have symbols on the
controls which indicate the type of use
the settings are suitable for:
# - curtains, lightweight fabrics
$ - upholstery, cushions
% - thick pile carpets, rugs and
runners
* - for daily energy-saving vacuuming
(this setting is also very quiet)
( - loop-pile carpets
) - hard flooring and for intensive
cleaning of carpets
^ Turn the suction power selector
manually to the suction power setting
you require.

Opening the air inlet valve

(dia. 14 + 15)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the
vacuum cleaner.
^ Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the suction power.
The floorhead will be easier to
manoeuvre. Close the valve when you
are ready to use full power again.

Parking and storing the cleaner

Parking system (dia. 16)
The parking system allows you to
conveniently park the vacuum cleaner
during pauses.
^ Slot the floorhead into the parking
attachment at the back of the
vacuum cleaner.
If the vacuum cleaner is on a
sloping surface, e.g. a ramp
- retract the telescopic suction tube
fully
- do not use the parking system with
an EasyLock suction tube.
Storage (dia. 17 + 18)
^ Stand the vacuum cleaner upright
when it is not being used and when it
is being stored.
^ Slot the floorhead downwards into the
parking attachment on the side of the
vacuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner has a
telescopic tube, retract it fully so that
it takes up less room for storage.
