Important: In some cases, the appliance may “whistle” when switched on. This is not a fault and the noise will go away with time.
Secondary air valve (9)
The secondary air valve (9) is on the handgrip (18) and it is used to regulate
suction power. The wider the valve is opened, the less the suction power and
vice versa.
– To open the valve, push it upwards, and to close it, push downwards.
Open the valve to prevent curtains and the like from being sucked into the
cleaner.
– Minimum suction power for curtains and delicate materials.
– Medium suction power for cushions, mattresses, and carpets.
– Maximum suction power for tiled, wood, or other resistant floor surfaces
that are heavily soiled.
WARNING: Switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately if the air inlets, brushes, or telescopic rods become blocked. Remove the cause of the blockage before switching the vacuum cleaner on again.
After using the vacuum cleaner
Switch off the appliance after use by pressing the switch (3), with your hand
or foot. After this, unplug the appliance and wind the cord back inside its
housing by holding down the cord rewinder button (1). The cord will rewind
itself immediately inside its housing.
WARNING: While rewinding the power cord, guide it in the right direction
by hand to prevent any risk of injury to yourself.

Carrying the vacuum cleaner
This vacuum cleaner has a handle on the top (10) for carrying purposes.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation,
switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains power. The dirt vacuumed
up will enter the dust container (7). The air is then cleaned through a
permanent washable filter inside the dust container, by a filter to protect
the motor, and by an air outlet filter, located on the underside of the
appliance.
WARNING: Never use the vacuum cleaner if any filter is missing or
damaged. Any dust cleaned up will enter the appliance and damage the motor.
WARNING: Clean the filters regularly or in any case, whenever the suction
power seems to be reduced.
Emptying the dust container (7)
The transparent surface of the dust container makes it easy to see when this
needs to be emptied.
– Press the release button (4) and at the same time, remove the dust container
(7) using the rel- event handle (5) (Fig. 6).
– Use the two levers at the back to open the relevant hatch (Fig. 7).
– To clean the inside of the container (7), it is possible to remove the
washable filter by turning it counterclockwise and pulling it outwards (Fig.
8).
– Empty the dust container (7) (Fig.9).
– To refit thefilteronthedustcontainer(7),insertitandturnitclockwise.
Clickthehatchshut.
– Refit the dust container (7) onto the body of the appliance (8) so that it
clicks into place.
IMPORTANT: When the dust container becomes full, it is advisable to place a plastic bag over the top and empty it inside the bag itself to prevent dust and dirt from leaking out.
Cleaning the motor filter
and its special covering needs to be cleaned on a regular basis.
– Use the two levers and lower the hatch in the back section of the appliance
(Fig. 10).
– Remove the filter and clean it under running water (Fig. 11). Leave it to
dry thoroughly.
– Refit the filter and click the hatch shut.
WARNING: Only wash the filter in clean water, without using soap or
detergents.
WARNING: This operation is necessary at least once every 6 months or in any
case when the suction power is notably reduced.
Cleaning the air outlet filter
This filter cleans the air one last time before it leaves the vacuum cleaner.
To clean the filter, proceed as follows:
– Remove the dust container (7) and open the grid of the air outlet filter
(Fig. 9).
– The air outlet filter can be seen once the grid has been opened.
– Clean the filter in cold water and leave it to dry.
– Refit the clean (or new) air outlet filter into the grid and return this to
the appliance, pressing it down until it clicks into place.
WARNING: Only wash the filter in clean water, without using soap or detergents.
Cleaning the vacuum cleaner
The casing, dust container and filter seats can be wiped with a damp cloth if
necessary. No liquid must enter the vacuum cleaner in the process. Never use
heavy-duty cleaning substances (stain removers, thinners) because they can
corrode the plastic surfaces. Only put the plug back into the main socket when
you are sure that all parts are thoroughly dry.
Important: Do not lubricate or oil any rotating parts, since this could
cause dirt and fluff to stick even further
Cleaning the brushes
While the appliance is switched on, move your hand between the bristles on the
brush to free them of any trapped dust, which will then be sucked into the
cleaner.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Thermal cutout switch
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermal cutout switch to protect it in
the event that the motor overheats. If the vacuum cleaner suddenly switches
off by itself, proceed as follows:
– Switch off the vacuum cleaner and unplug it from the mains power.
– Lookfortheoriginoftheoverheating(blocked suction pipe, dirty filter, etc.)
– Clean the house, empty the dust container and clean the filters, if
necessary.
– Wait for about 30-40 minutes to allow the motor to cool down.
– After 30-40 minutes, insert the plugin in the mains socket and switch on the
vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner should now work.
– If the vacuum cleaner still does not work, wait another 20 minutes and then
try again.
– If the cleaner still does not work, contact an Assistance Centre.
