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 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 for 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, slot 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. 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 you insert it incorrectly, the appliance‘s motor may become damaged.
5. Close the cover. Press until you hear a click.

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.
