Machine Overview Connecting the hose Insert the swivel cuff into the bag-holding sleeve, insert the other end of the swivel cuff into the telescoping element, and hook the hose to the handle.
Machine Overview Operating the telescoping extension Extend the telescoping extension by pulling it; lock it by turning the dedicated ring nut counter-clockwise.
Machine Overview Starting the brush Put your foot on the PUSH sign and tilt the vacuum-cleaner body. The brush automatically stops when the handle is placed in the upright position.
Machine Overview Checking the brush The brush-checking device continuously monitors the operation of the brush: Green light: the brush is working correctly Red light: the brush is either blocked or it is undergoing excessive stress. Turn the machine off, detach the plug from the power source, and look for the cause of the blockage.
Machine Overview Filter full indicator If the “bag full” gauge turns red, please verify: a) whether the dust bag is full, or b) whether the brush is clogged, or c) whether the vacuuming hose is clogged; in these cases, remove the obstruction d) whether the Hepa filter is fully clogged. It is normal that during vacuuming the “bag full” gauge flashes red, because the hose is partially closed.
Machine Overview Replacing the filter bag Remove the cover. Place the dust bag into the container, by inserting the bag-holding sleeve into the dust bag hole and by pushing the safety ring all the way in. If the filter bag is not placed correctly, closing the cover will be impossible.
Machine Overview Replacing the filter Pull out the filter holder and replace the filter, or clean it by tapping it lightly (replace it approximately every 20 bags). Do not start the device without the filter in place; the suction of foreign bodies will damage the vacuum motor.
Machine Overview Replacing the HEPA filter; replacing or cleaning the pre-filter Pull latch “A” in order to unhook the vent grid; at the same time, slide it (in the direction shown by the arrow) so that it comes free. The pre-filter is housed in the air exhaust under the HEPA filter. Replace the pre-filter or clean it, by washing it with water; dry it and carefully replace it in its housing.
Machine Overview Removing debris from the outer duct Any material clogging the hose can be removed by detaching the telescoping extension from its seat, turning on the vacuum, and intermittently opening and closing the wand end by hand. Do not insert objects into the hose in order to remove the debris.
Machine Overview Removing debris from the inner duct Lay the vacuum body down flat and aligned with the electric brush. Unscrew the 1, 2 and 3 base screws, remove the base. Remove the clogged material from the duct by using a flexible cleaning rod.
