- Storing mop pads in a damp state can result in an unpleasant odour. Set the pads in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight for at least 24 hours or until completely dry.

Using the Nozzles and Tools

Before Using the Nozzles and Tools
Some accessories are only available on some models. Specialized attachments can help you clean more effectively. Tools and nozzles can be attached to the product body or the extension pipe.

Adjust the suction power if the inlet gets stuck on the floor, carpet, or bedding.
Each Nozzle is equipped with a motor and may make a sound when operating.

CAUTION

Do not use the Multi-Surface Nozzle or Slim Hard Floor Nozzle on PVC or polyurethane mats for infants and children. The mat may stick to the nozzle, making it difficult to operate, causing damage to the mat or static electricity on the appliance. Clean mats using the crevice tool.

Multi-surface Nozzle
Use this nozzle to clean carpets or rugs.

If used on hard flooring, this nozzle will be noisy.

Slim Hard Floor Nozzle
Use this nozzle to clean hard floor surfaces.

While cleaning, it was not intended, but pressing the PUSH button on the nozzle may remove the brush. Please attach the brush again.

Pet Nozzle
It is suitable for soft surfaces and pet hair removal.

CAUTION

Do not use the nozzle following surface. It may cause scratch or damage. Especially, do notclean a coated or lacquered floor. If used repeatedly, the coating may wear off.
- Clothing, bedding
- Leather cushioned sofas, cushions
- Carpet
- Vinyl flooring, tiles, marble, etc.

Bedding Nozzle
This nozzle lets you clean sheets and bedding more effectively. It removes dust in bedding using strong suction and a punching motion.

Lower the suction level when vacuuming bedding such as duvet covers to avoid the thin fabric getting sucked into the nozzle.

Crevice Tool
Use this tool to remove dust from corners or narrow spaces.

Use it for areas with static electricity such as mats.
Use it with the Turbo mode to clean pet hair out of furniture, mats, or tight areas like corners.

Combination Tool
Can be used in either crevice mode or brush mode for cleaning corners or small gaps where dust and dirt gather.

Crevice Mode
Use the tool in the crevice mode to clean flat surfaces such as sofas or mattresses.

Brush Mode
Use the tool in the brush mode to clean delicate surfaces such as frames or furniture.

To convert modes, press the adjustment button a and push forward.

Hard Dirt Tool
Firm bristles remove solidified dirt from hard surfaces. Clean up hair or foreign objects that are entangled in carpets or rugs.

Mattress Tool
Use this tool to clean up dust and foreign objects from mattresses, delicate fabrics, and upholstery.

Flexible Crevice Tool
This tool is flexible and its length can be adjusted, making it especially useful for cleaning inside vehicles or in narrow spaces under and behind furniture where an angled tool is needed.

Using the Brush
To convert the tool from crevice to brush mode, press in on the sides of the brush head 1 and pull the brush down.

To convert back to the crevice mode, press in on the brush release button 2 and slide the brush up.

Adjusting the Length
To adjust the length of the tool, press and hold the release button 3 on the side of the tool. Pull or push on the brush head 4 to extend or retract the extension tube.

Multi-angle Tool
This tool has a soft brush that can be adjusted to a variety of angles, making it especially useful for cleaning vehicle consoles or the tops of furniture.

Flexible Hose Extension
Connect this flexible, extendable hose between the product body and the tools to clean hard to reach areas.

The flexible hose extension cannot be used with the power drive Nozzle.

Using the Kompressor Lever
Use the Kompressor lever to compress hair and fibers inside the dust bin after vacuuming and before emptying the dust bin.

The vacuum must be turned off before using the Kompressor lever.
Compressing the dust clears it off the interior walls of the dust bin and allows you to vacuum for longer periods before emptying the dust bin. It also makes cleaning the dust bin easier and less messy.
The dust bin must be at least half full for the compression plate to be effective.
Press the Kompressor lever down several times to compress the dust and clean off the interior walls of the dust bin.

NOTE

Do not force the Kompressor lever down if it does not travel down all the way or feels obstructed. Doing so can break the lever. If it cannot be pushed down, the cyclonic filter must then be removed and cleaned and dust tank checked for any obstructions.
