PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ACCESSORIES

OPERATING MANUAL – ASSEMBLY OF THE VACUUM CLEANER

NOTE
Before fixing or removing accessories, always pull the plug out of the electrical socket!

1. Connecting the flexible hose to the appliance
   Insert the flexible hose into the appliance‘s air suction inlet.
   Continue pushing until you hear a clicking sound, which indicates that the correct position has been reached.
   For removing the flexible hose, press both stopper buttons and remove the hose (Fig. 1).
   When the slide throttle is closed, the airflow is stronger.
   Slide throttle in open position – weaker airflow.

2. Attaching the telescopic tube to the hose adapter
   Put the telescopic tube on the hose adapter and turn it slightly.

3. Extending the telescopic tube
   Press the plastic latch and pull the smaller tube outwards.

4. Fixing the floor attachment to the telescopic tube Insert the telescopic tube into the floor attachment and turn it slightly.
   The flap (Fig. 2) is used for setting the floor attachment to brushing (for smooth floors), or to smooth vacuuming (for carpets).

ACCESSORIES

1. Slot nozzle
   The slot nozzle adapter is used for vacuuming places that are difficult to access, such as radiators, slots, corners, pedestals, spaces between upholstery, and others.

2. Upholstery nozzle
   This upholstery nozzle attachment may be used for smaller upholstered areas.

USING THE APPLIANCE
Before using the appliance, make sure that filters and the dust collection bag are properly positioned and mounted. Unwind the supply cable length you need. The yellow mark on the supply cable indicates the optimum cable length. Do not unwind the supply cable beyond the red mark!

1. Insert the plug into the electric voltage socket.
2. Press the ON/OFF switch on the appliance.
3. After you have stopped vacuuming, switch the appliance off and disconnect it from the electric voltage outlet.
4. For winding up the supply cable, press the winding button with one hand and hold the supply cable with the other hand to avoid uncontrolled movement.

CHECKING THE DUST COLLECTION BAG FILL
When the dust collection bag fill indicator turns red during operation, replace the full dust collection bag immediately.
If the dust collection bag fill indicator is still red after the bag has been replaced, this may be due to several causes:
– some of the air passages (hoses, telescopic tube, suction inlet, brush adapter, or other adapters) are obstructed;
– the motor filter is dirty;
– the air outlet filter is dirty.
Check for each of the possible causes above and eliminate the problem before you start vacuuming. If the cause of the problem cannot be identified, hand over the product to the nearest service center. Never use the vacuum cleaner if the bag level indicator is completely red during operation. The motor could be damaged irreparably

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

You may clean the accessories and the appliance with a wet cloth. Never immerse the appliance in the water!
Do not use any aggressive substances for cleanings, such as solvents or abrasives!

REPLACING THE DUST COLLECTION BAG

1. Unplug the product from the mains. Disconnect the hose from the suction inlet and open the appliance cover.

2. Push the flap on the dust retention bag holder; remove the used dust retention bag (Fig. 3). Dispose of a paper or SMS dust collection bag. Be careful not to tear the bag when handling it. If the bag is made of fabric, empty it and close it carefully – it can be used repeatedly.

3. Insert a new or empty dust retention bag by fitting the plate in the bag holder. The bag opening must be aligned with the hose hole in the appliance cover.

4. Never use the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag installed! If you forget to insert the dust retention bag or insert it incorrectly, the appliance‘s motor may become damaged.

5. Close the cover. Press until you hear a click.

REPLACING FILTERS

• The filters should be cleaned or replaced when they are visibly dirty, or if the appliance‘s suction power is reduced. Always check the filters after using the appliance.
• In order to avoid damage to the appliance, do not use it with incorrectly installed filters.
• Before replacing the filters, disconnect the appliance from the electrical socket.
• You can buy suitable types of filters from your dealer, or you can order them from the manufacturer.

CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT OF THE MOTOR FILTER

1. Disconnect the flexible hose and open the appliance cover.

2. pull the dust collection bag out of its holder so that you can access the motor filter more easily.

3. Remove the motor filter (Fig. 4). You can clean the filter by tapping it. If the filter is heavily soiled, you may wash it in lukewarm water and let it dry properly.

4. Insert the cleaned or new motor filter into the appliance and close the cover.

CLEANING AND REPLACING THE AIR OUTLET FILTER

1. Open the air outlet grid in the appliance‘s rear section (Fig. 5).

2. Remove the air outlet filter. You can clean this filter by tapping it, then brushing it with a soft brush. After this operation is complete, you may clean a very dirty filter by washing and brushing with a soft brush in lukewarm water with no cleaning agents added. It is important to let the wet parts dry thoroughly. A wet filter will be damaged by vacuuming! Do not use a hair dryer to dry it!
   Note: Wet cleaning may cause more wear and tear on the filter and, consequently, may shorten its service life.

3. Insert the cleaned or new air outlet filter into the appliance and close the air outlet grid.

The quality warranty term is 24 months from the product takeover by the customer.

The warranty does not apply to wear and tear caused by regular use. The customer shall not be entitled to any warranty claims if, prior to taking the product over, they knew the product contained a defect or if the defect is attributable to the customer.

Filing a complaint
A complaint against a product defect must be filed as soon as identified, yet no later than before the end of the warranty term.
The customer must file a product complaint with the dealer from which they have purchased the product, or with any authorized service center, a list of which is included in the product package, or available at www.my- concept.com.
While filing a product complaint, the product must be duly cleaned and securely packed so as to prevent any damage during its transport to an authorized service center, where relevant, unless the product is delivered in person.
The customer must submit proof of having concluded a purchase contract for the product by producing the receipt.
While filing their complaint, the customer must indicate the noted defect and identify the preferred complaint application method.

Complaints processing
As long as the noted defect may be removed, the user
has the right to have the defect duly removed free of charge on a timely basis.
Where such a procedure is not reasonable with regard to the nature of the defect, the user may require to be supplied a new defect-free product (replacement), or, where the defect applies to a part of the product only, replacement of the part concerned.
However, if the replacement of the product or any part thereof is not proportionate with regard to the nature of the defect, especially if the defect can be removed without undue delay, the customer has the right to have the defect removed free of charge.
If the noted defect is not removable, or if the customer becomes entitled to the replacement of the product or a part thereof, yet the replacement is not possible, for example, due to the product having been sold out, the customer has the right to return the product (withdrawal from the contract).
The customer shall have the right to a new product (replacement) or to replacement of a part of the product even if the defect can be removed, provided they cannot properly use the product due to repeated occurrence of the defect or due to a high number of such defects. In such a case, the customer also has the right to return the product (by withdrawing from the contract).
If the product is not returned (the customer does not withdraw from the contract), or if the customer does not apply the right to a new defect-free product (replacement), to replacement of a part thereof or to repair of the product, they may request a reasonable discount. The customer also has a right to a reasonable discount if a new defect-free product cannot be supplied to them, or if a product part cannot be replaced or the product repaired unless the situation is remedied within a reasonable time limit, or if remedying the situation would create major discomfort on the part of the customer.
The seller-authorized service center or a staff member authorized by them must decide about each complaint immediately or within three business days in complicated cases. This term does not include a reasonable period of time, depending on the type of product concerned, required for the defect to be assessed by an expert.
A complaint, including defect removal, must be dealt with without any undue delay, yet no later than within 30 calendar days of the complaint filing date, unless the seller and the customer agree on a later deadline. On returning the product (withdrawing from the contract) the customer must return any accessories and documents supplied along with the product.
The customer does not have the right to keep the defective parts and components of the product replaced as part of a repair of the product.
This shall be without prejudice to any other rights the customer may have in relation to the purchase of the product.
Remark: Complaints against products damaged in transport are governed by the carrier’s complaints procedure.
