 Insert the plug into the socket cor-
rectly and switch on.

If vacuuming for longer than 30
minutes, the mains cable must be
pulled out to its fullest extent. Other-
wise there is a danger of overheating
and damage.
Rewinding the cable (dia. 12)
 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. 13)
 Press the On/Off foot control .
To regulate the suction power
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
 Cut pile carpets, rugs and runners
 Loop pile carpet and rugs
 Hard flooring and heavily soiled
carpets and rugs (also for clean-
ing upholstery and mattresses
with the upholstery nozzle)
When using the Electrobrush / floor-
head, if the suction seems too high,
reduce the suction until the Electro-
brush / floorhead is easier to man-
oeuvre.
Rotary selector (dia. 14)
 Turn the rotary selector to the suction
power setting you require.
During vacuuming
 When vacuuming, pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its wheels. You can stand
it upright for vacuuming stairs and
curtains etc.

When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electro-
static charges build up naturally. Un-
der certain conditions these charges
will be released. To avoid the un-
pleasant 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 (dia.
15).
If a large amount of dust has been va-
cuumed at once, the ComfortClean
self-cleaning function should be started
