• Always place the device on a stable and level surface.

• Check whether the mains voltage corresponds to the mains voltage indicated on the rating plate of the appliance before connecting it to an earthed socket.

• Certain parts of the device may become hot. Do not touch it to avoid getting burned.

• Never immerse the appliance, the cord or the plug in water or any other liquid and do not hold it under running water.

• Do not pick up the device if it has fallen into water. Immediately pull the plug from the socket. Don’t use it anymore.

• Make sure your hands are dry when you touch the device.

• Make sure that the appliance, the cord and the plug do not come into contact with heat sources such as a hob or open fire.

OPERATION – Before use for the first time
Verify that a dust bag is fitted. Fit a dust bag, if necessary. See ‘Changing the dust bag’.

OPERATION (see figure 2, 3, and 4)

1. Rotate the hose connector into the hose opening on the motor unit to the right (see Figure 2a). To remove the hose, rotate the connector to the left and pull the connector from the hose opening.
2. The power cord has a yellow and red mark, see Figure 2b. Pull out the cord to the yellow mark.
3. Put the plug in the wall socket, and press the On/Off switch. To switch off the appliance, press the On/Off switch again, see Figure 2c.
4. The appliance is now ready for use. You can move the vacuum cleaner while you are cleaning by pulling on the hose grip. You can lift the appliance with the vacuum cleaner’s handle, see Figure 2d.
5. You can adjust the vacuum suction with the vacuum suction control, see Figure 2. It is advisable to reduce the vacuum suction when cleaning upholstered furniture and curtains. This will prevent the fabric from being sucked into the nozzle.
6. Slide the telescopic tube onto the hose handle, see Figure 3a.
7. Press the button on the telescopic tube and keep it pressed in; you can then extend or retract the tube to the required length. See Figure 3b.
8. Press the foot button on the nozzle to set the combi nozzle for use on hard or soft surfaces, see Figure 3c. For use on hard surfaces, press the foot button on the combi nozzle to extend the brushes. Lift the button for use on soft surfaces.

ATTENTION:
• Never pull out the power cord beyond the red mark. This could damage the power cord.

TIPS:

• If so required, you can also reduce the suction quickly by moving the slide on the hose grip.
• This vacuum cleaner is supplied with a crevice tool with a narrow nozzle, which you can use to clean radiators, window frames, crevices, small openings, and similar (see Figure 4).

OPERATION – Storage after use (see figure 5 and 6)

1. Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2. Press the rewind button and keep it pressed in; the power cord will automatically rewind onto the reel.
3. Stand the vacuum cleaner upright. An attachment slot for the accessory bracket is fitted to the back of the vacuum cleaner next to the front castor (see Figure 6). Slide the bottom of the accessory bracketinto the slot. This avoids the need to dismantle the vacuum cleaner after use; you can store the assembled appliance and retrieve it again quickly when you need it.

ATTENTION:

• Guide the power cord whilst it rewinds onto the reel, since otherwise the cord could become tangled or the plug could strike the back of the appliance. Take hold of the power cord near the mark, and allow it to gently slide through your fingers back into the appliance, see Figure 5.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Clean the outer surface of all parts with a damp cloth and a cleaner suitable for plastics. Make sure no moisture gets into the appliance.
2. Over the course of time dust and dirt can accumulate around the wheel axles, thereby preventing the wheels from turning easily. Consequently they should be kept clean.

ATTENTION:

• Never immerse the appliance, plug or power cord in water.
• Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to clean the appliance.

Changing the dust bag (see figure 7)

1. Change the dust bag immediately once the ‘dust bag full’ indicator turns red, see Figure 7.
2. Open the cover by pulling the cover release (dust bag) upwards. Remove the dust bag from the holder, and dispose of it in a dustbin.
3. Fit a new dust bag in the holder and press into position.
4. Close the cover, and press until it clicks into place.

ATTENTION:

• It is possible that the indicator turns red whilst the dust bag is not yet full. If so, then the nozzle, hose or tubes may be blocked. These will then need to be cleaned.
• Make sure that the dust bag does not become pinched by the cover. This could damage the appliance and/or the dust bag.
• Dust bags for this vacuum cleaner are available from every major hardware store, with a statement of the type number Bestron D000132.

Cleaning or replacing the motor safety filter (see figure 8)
Clean or replace the motor safety filter at least twice a year, and more frequently if the filter is visibly blocked.

1. Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove the hose from the vacuum cleaner.
3. Open the cover by pulling the cover release (dust bag) upwards. Remove the dust bag, see Figure 7. Remove the motor safety filter holder, located behind the dust bag: see Figure 8.
4. Dispose of the filter, or wash it in lukewarm water. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
5. Return the cleaned or new filter to its holder, and fit the holder in the appliance. Fit a dust bag. Close the cover, and press until it clicks into place.

ATTENTION:

• Water could penetrate into the appliance if the filter is not thoroughly dry. This could result in (electrical) damage.
• Make sure that the dust bag does not become pinched by the cover. This could damage the appliance and/or the dust bag.
