Vacuuming using the suction hose

To avoid the risk of injury, do not
vacuum with the suction hose handle
at head level.

Do not vacuum directly with the
handle, i.e., without an accessory at-
tached, as the rim could get dam-
aged and you could hurt yourself on
sharp edges.

When vacuuming stairs, be sure
to place the vacuum cleaner on a
lower step to prevent the risk of in-
jury.
 Raise the vacuum cleaner into the
vertical position.
 Press the release button on the tele-
scopic wand to detach the suction
hose handle (Fig. 17).
 For increased stability, turn the elbow
joint at the bottom of the hose down-
wards as illustrated until it clicks into
position above the retainer (Fig. 18).
During normal vacuuming, the suc-
tion hose handle should be securely
connected to the telescopic wand.
Make sure the handle is also properly
hooked into its holder on the vacuum
cleaner (Fig. 17).
