VACUUMING
• When operating the appliance, make sure
the hose is not trapped, twisted or blocked.
Two hose positions while vacuuming:
1. You can vacuum with the handle (2)
and hose (4) wrapped around the main
appliance. Cleaning in this mode is great
for quick pick-ups because the vac is in
it's most compact form.
2. You can vacuum with the handle (2) and
hose (4) unwrapped from the main appliance
allowing you to reach up to approximately 4
feet (1.2 m) from the appliance.
• With handle and hose unwrapped the
appliance can be carried using the built-in
handle on the main appliance.
• The handle can also be removed from the
hose so that you can connect an accessory
directly to the hose cuff (17) when desired.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
• When vacuuming stairs, always start at
the bottom and work your way up.
• Use the pet hair cleaning tool to agitate and
suction up pet hair and ground-in debris from
carpeted or upholstery surfaces.
• In order to keep the suction force
optimized, the filters must be cleared
regularly during use.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
any circumstances, immerse the
appliance in water. A damp cloth and
soapy water should be used to clean the
