The power cord retracts very quickly. Take care to avoid injury.

AUTO-CORD REWIND

Your vacuum is equipped with an automatic cord rewind. When cleaning is finished, press the power button to switch the vacuum OFF and grasp the plug to disconnect from the electrical outlet. Hold the plug and press the auto cord rewind button to rewind the cord automatically.

POWER BUTTON

Turn the power ON or OFF by pressing lightly downward on the power button

OPERATIONS

SPECIAL TOOLS

Your FORCE 10 vacuum is not only a powerful carpet and rug cleaner, it’s also a versatile bare floor and above floor vacuum cleaner when you select one of the special tools.

FLOOR NOZZLE

Use to vacuum carpets, rugs and bare floors. The swivel head turns to get into tight spaces and fits under cabinets

1. To vacuum carpets and rugs, push the brush switch to the carpet position . This will pull the brushes up into the floor nozzle
2. To vacuum bare floors, push the brush switch to the bare floor position . This will extend the brushes down from the floor nozzle
   

DUSTING BRUSH/CREVICE TOOL

Use the dusting brush/crevice tool in narrow spaces.

UPHOLSTERY TOOL

Use the upholstery tool to clean curtains, draperies, cushions and fabrics.

CLIP-ON TOOL HOLDER

The clip-on tool holder provides convenient storage for your dusting brush/crevice tool when clipped onto the extension wand.

AIRFLOW REGULATOR

Open the airflow regulator by sliding the regulator down towards the extension wand to an open position. This will reduce the suction power for vacuuming delicate fabrics. For full suction power, close the air-flow regulator by sliding the regulator up to the closed position.

ELECTRONIC SUCTION CONTROL

Slide the button left to right to adjust the suction power and speed of the motor.

TIP:
Full power is recommended for carpets and floors. Lower the suction power for delicate fabrics and curtains.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

TO MAINTAIN MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR FORCE 10 VACUUM, PERFORM THESE SIMPLE MAINTENANCE CHECKS:

EMPTYING THE DIRT CONTAINER

Empty the dirt container as soon as the dirt reaches the “FULL” line on the sides of the dirt container.

3. Press the dirt container release button (11) and lift up to remove the dirt container
   

4. Choose an emptying method (method #2 is recommended for allergy sufferers). Method #1 – Hold the dirt container over a rubbish bin and push the emptying button to open the bottom. Close the bottom after the dirt empties. Method #2 – Place a plastic bag over the bottom of the dirt container. Push the emptying button through the plastic bag to open the bottom. After the dust settles, close the bottom and remove the plastic bag to discard
   

5. Replace the dirt container by sliding it back into the vacuum from the top. Then push down gently on the dirt container until it clicks back into place
   

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts and/or electrical shock, turn the Power Switch OFF and disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet before performing maintenance checks.

   Never operate your FORCE 10 vacuum without all the filters in place. Doing so may damage the motor and void the guarantee.

3. Lift the dirt container filter set (23) out from above the cyclonic separator. Once the filters have been removed and separated (A and B as per the picture on the right), gently wash them in luke-warm water. A mild detergent may be used. Ensure that the filters are well rinsed and completely dry before reassembling and placing them back into the machine
   

4. Remove the pre-motor filter (24) from its housing and gently wash it in luke-warm water with a mild detergent. Ensure that the filter is well rinsed and completely dry before placing it back into the machine

   Replace the dirt container by placing it back into the vacuum and push down on the handle until it snaps back into place
