These are supplied with their own oper-
ating instructions.
Adjustable floorhead (dia. 18)
The adjustable floorhead can also be
used for vacuuming the stairs.

For safety reasons when vacu-
uming stairs, it is best to start at the
bottom of the stairs and move up-
wards.

Use

Unwinding the mains cable (dia. 19)
 Pull the mains cable out to the re-
quired length.
 Insert the plug into the socket.

If vacuuming for longer than 30
minutes, the cable must be pulled
out all the way. There is a risk of
overheating and damage.
Rewinding the cable (dia. 20)
 Switch off at the wall socket and
withdraw the plug.
 Step on the cable rewind foot switch.
The cable will then retract itself into the
vacuum cleaner.
If you do not want the cable to retract
completely into the vacuum cleaner
you can stop it before it does. Take
hold of the end of the cable whilst re-
tracting it and give it a short pull just
before the end.
To switch on and off (dia. 21)
 Press the On/Off foot control .

To regulate the suction power
(dia. 22)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to man-
oeuvre the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the controls which indicate the type of
use the settings are suitable for.
 Curtains, fabric
 Upholstery, cushions
 Cut pile carpets, rugs and runners
 Energy-saving vacuuming. This
setting is also very quiet
 Loop pile carpet and rugs
 Hard flooring and heavily soiled
carpets and rugs
When using the adjustable floorhead,
if the suction seems too high, reduce
the suction until the floorhead is
easier to manoeuvre.
 Turn the suction power selector
manually to the suction power setting
you require.
To open the air inlet valve (dia. 23)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the va-
cuum cleaner.
 Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
