The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the controls which indicate the type of
use the settings are suitable for.
Curtains, fabric
Upholstery, cushions
Deep pile carpets, rugs and run‐
ners
Energy-saving vacuuming. This
setting is also very quiet
Loop pile carpet and rugs
Hard flooring and heavily soiled
carpets and rugs
When using the EcoTeQ floorhead, if
the suction seems too high, reduce
the suction until the floorhead is eas‐
ier to manoeuvre.
Turn the suction power selector ma‐
nually to the suction power setting
you require.
To open the air inlet valve (dia. 24)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the
vacuum cleaner.
Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to manoeu‐
vre. Close the valve when you are ready
to use full power again.
During vacuuming
When vacuuming, pull the cleaner
behind you on its wheels. You can
stand it upright for vacuuming stairs
and curtains etc.
When vacuuming fine dust, e.g.
sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, talcum
powder etc., electrostatic charges
build up naturally. Under certain con‐
ditions these charges will be re‐
leased. To avoid the unpleasant ef‐
fects of these discharges, a metal in‐
lay has been incorporated into the
underside of the handle. Please
make sure that you keep your hand
in constant contact with this metal
strip during vacuuming (dia. 25).
Setting down, transportation
and storage
Park system for pauses during vac‐
uuming (dia. 26)
The Park system allows you to conven‐
iently park the suction tube and floor‐
head during pauses.
Slot the floorhead into the parking at‐
tachment at the back of the vacuum
cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop‐
ing surface, e.g. a ramp,
- retract the telescopic tube fully
- do not use the park system if your
vacuum cleaner has an EasyLock
suction tube.
Park system for storage (dia. 27 + 28)
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply
when you have finished using it.
Switch it off at the wall socket and
unplug it.
