    not only a powerful carpet and rug vacuum 
    cleaner, it’s also a versatile bare floor and 
    above floor vacuum cleaner when you select 
    one of the special tools.
    Floor nozzle (12)Use to vacuum carpets, rugs and bare floors. 
    Swivel head turns to get into tight spaces 
    and fits under cabinets. This floor nozzle 
    was used for carpet and hard floor testing 
    in compliance with EU regulations 666/2013 
    Ecodesign Requirements for Vacuum 
    Cleaners, and 665/2013 Energy Labeling of 
    Vacuum Cleaners.

    pull the brushes up into the floor nozzle.
    2.  To vacuum bare floors, push the brush 
    switch to the bare floor position
    .   
    This will extend the brus hes down from   
    the floor nozzle.
    Small accessories (13)Use the crevice tool in tight, narrow spaces.

    draperies, and side tables and window ledg-
    es. Use upholstery tool for soft furnishings.

    (select models only)
    Use rotating brish action for small, flat areas 
    such as cushions and beds.
    NOTE: Press down gently and pull toward

    will cause the brush to stop rotating.
    Hard Floor Brush (15)

    B Assembly
    1. Connect hose to vacuum by inserting hose 
    connector on the end of the hose into the 
    suction inlet. Make sure the hose is positioned 
    so the tabs on the hose connector line up 
    with the notches on the suction inlet.
    2.  Connect hose handle to the end of the 
    extention wand and twist slightly to tighten.
    3.  Connect floor nozzle to the end of the 
    extension wand and twist slightly to tighten.
    4.  Once assembled, you can store your   
    vacuum by inserting the storage clip 
    (located on the back of the floor nozzle) into 
    the storage slot on the rear of the vacuum.
    Colours may vary from models shown.
    C Operations
    Power cord
    The power cord is located at the rear of the 
    vacuum. Gently pull out the power cord, 
    watching for the yellow line. Stop pulling the 
    power cord once the yellow line is visible. 
    There is also a red line, which indicates the 
    end of the usable cord. Do not pull the   
    power cord out beyond the red line. 
    Do not plug in your cleaner until you have 
    completely assembled it per the following 
    instructions and are familiar with all instructions 
    and operating procedures.
    Be careful to avoid injury as cord retracts very quickly.
    Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid danger of 
    suffocation, keep away from babies and children.
    Before using your vacuum, make sure that the dirt 
    cup and all filters are in place. Do not operate your 
    vacuum without the dirt cup and filters.
