Instructions for use
Before the vacuum cleaner is ready for use, the hose must be
fitted to the curved tube as described under point 5.
Before using the vacuum cleaner make sure that the voltage
shown on the rating plate corresponds with the mains voltage.
The vacuum cleaner is supplied with a paper dust bag already
in place. Never use the vacuum cleaner without a properly
fitted dust bag. The procedure for replacing the dust bag is
described under point 8.
1 Starting / stopping
1 Place the appliance plug of the cable in the motor socket.
Plug the cable into the wall socket.
Press button 1. to start the motor
Press button 1. again to stop it.
After cleaning, unplug the cable from the wall socket.
Detaching the power cord
To prolong the life of your cord, detach it from the motor each
time after cleaning, roll it up loosely and store it.
2 Note
Do not roll the cord tightly around the motor as this will place a
strain on the cord and considerably shorten its life.
Thermal cut-out protection
(Only USA and Canada)
The vacuum is provided with a thermal cut-out protection
mechanism. This prevents the motor from overheating if a
blockage should occur. If this occur start by removing the
electrical cord from the power outlet. Then remove the cause
of the blockage to allow free air passage. Wait at least 5-10
minuttes. Then put back the electrical cord to the power outlet.
When the motor is cool, it will automatically start again.
3 Micro-Static Filter
The grey Micro-Static filter on the top of the motor attracts and
retains micro-particles efficiently. In order to ensure a constant
cleaning of the exhaust air and to avoid overheating of the
motor, it is essential that the filter is replaced regularly. The
Micro-Static filter should be replaced after approx. 50 hours
use, equivalent to one year of domestic use.
Replacing
1Turn the two screws with a coin until their slots are vertical.
2 Release the handle by a gentle downward pressure at its
centre. Press until both ends spring out from the motor
recess.
3 Lift off the exhaust grill and the filter. The sound absorbent
material must remain on top of the motor.
4 Remove the grey filter and mount the new one. Replace the
grill. Locate the handle into position and lock it by turning the
screws until their slots are horizontal.
4 Hose connection
Insert the bayonet coupling into the suction inlet, and lock it
in place by turning it clockwise. Reverse this procedure to
disconnect the hose.
