SWITCHING ON AND USE
1. Check that the dust bag (8) has been fitted
correctly.
2. Fit the tube (4) suction hose (6) with the
brushes (1 and 17) or nozzle (2 / 3) that is
required and fit the hose onto the vacuum
intake.

supply. Press the On/Off pedal (12).
4. Set the power with the electronic power
regulator (13), figure 1.
5 The intensity can be regulated from the
hand grip. Opening the flap (5) reduces

figure 2.
6. When you have finished using the appliance
press the On/Off pedal (12), figure 3.

figures 4 and 5, for moving the appliance.
The tube and the brush can be parked either
horizontally or vertically on top of the vacuum
cleaner during any breaks during cleaning,
figures 6 and 7.
ACCESSORIES
The vacuum cleaner has an upholstery brush
(3) and a crevice nozzle (2).
BRUSH FOR WOODEN FLOORING
This brush has been specially designed to clean
wooden floor surfaces. The soft hair bristles
brush over the surface picking up the dust but
without damaging the floor.
BEATER BRUSH FOR RUGS &
CARPETS (Only for AC4820)
This brush is specially designed for cleaning
rugs and carpets. The rotating brush beats
gently against the carpet fibers for deeper
cleaning.
CHANGING THE BAG
When suction power decreases considerably
and the bag full indicator lights up, this means
that the bag is full. To change it, proceed as
follows:
1. Detach the hose from the air intake (Fig. 8) and
open the lid on the general compartment.
2. Tilt the bag holder so that the bag can be
removed and close the bag by pulling on the
central flap. (Fig. 9)
3. To fit a new bag, fold the flap back (Fig. 10).
Insert the bag into the bag holder, following
the direction of the guide-arrow. Make sure
that it slots fully down into its housing and that
it fits correctly (Fig. 11).
4. Close the lid.
Important:
• The lid on the general compartment cannot
be closed if there is no bag fitted. Do not force
it shut, check that the bag is fitted correctly.
• If, after having changed the bag, the suction
is irregular and the bag full indicator stays lit,
check that there is nothing blocking the hose,
tube or air intake.
• Never use the vacuum without a bag, or try to
empty a full bag and reuse it.
• To guarantee trouble free operation only use
original Ufesa bags and filters which can be
found at authorised establishments.

REPLACING THE FILTERS
