Using The Appliance; Cleaning And Maintenance - Kenwood VC2783 Serie Bedienungsanleitung

USING THE APPLIANCE

CAUTION: Before using the vacuum cleaner, remove all large or sharp objects from the floor to
avoid any possible damage to the cleaner itself.
First of all, before using this appliance, unwind the power cord completely and plug the appliance
into the mains socket.
To switch on, press the On/Off switch on the cleaner (FIG. 4).
IMPORTANT: In some cases, the appliance may "whistle" when switched on. This is not a fault and
the noise will go away with time.
Varying suction power
It is possible to vary suction power as required, using the slide switch (FIG. 4). We recommend using
a minimum power for delicate materials. Select medium suction power for mattresses, upholstered
furniture and carpets. Select maximum suction power for tiled, wood or other resistant floors.
Suction control
The suction control is to be found on the hand grip and it is used to vary the suction power (FIG. 5).
This way, you can increase or reduce suction power as needed.
Maximum suction power is best for normal vacuum cleaner use, while reduced power may be more
appropriate for fabrics and upholstery.
After using the vacuum cleaner
Switch off the appliance after cleaning.
- To do this press the On/Off switch (FIG. 4).
- Then unplug the cleaner from the mains.
- To rewind the cord, press and hold down the foot switch on the appliance. The cord will be au-
tomatically rewound inside its container.
CAUTION: Take great care when using the cord re-wind switch, especially in the presence of chil-
dren or animals, since the cord may "lash about" while being rewound.
Make sure that the power cord is unplugged before re-winding it.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, switch off the appliance and
remove the plug from the mains socket.
Cleaning the dust bag
When the indicator light turns red, the fabric bag needs to be changed and cleaned.
- lift the bag compartment by pushing the relevant lever outwards (FIG. 6);
- Remove the container after first pressing the special stop lever (FIG. 7).
- Remove the bag, taking care not to tear it; slide the stiff cardboard section (or plastic section
for fabric bags) along the special guides. Wash the bag in water and a mild detergent, if neces-
sary.
CAUTION: Always make sure that fabric dust bags are perfectly dry before refitting them.
