and wind in the cord by pressing the cord winder pedal (D) on the appliance. The cord will wind inside
the appliance container.
IMPORTANT: Before rewinding the power cord, make sure the appliance is unplugged from the
mains power.
IMPORTANT: While winding the power cord, guide it with one hand so as to prevent injury and take
care in the presence of children or pets.
- Open the relevant compartment by pressing the button (C) (FIG. 4) and put the attachments in-
side.

the fabric dust bag (V) needs to be emptied and cleaned.
- open the bag compartment by pushing the relevant lever outwards (FIG. 8).
- Take out the bag, being careful not to tear it; slide the stiff cardboard section (or plastic section on
fabric bags) along the special guides (FIG. 9). Throw away the paper dust bag or empty the fabric
bag and wash it in water and a mild detergent, if necessary.

The pre-motor filter needs cleaning on a regular basis and it should be replaced every 6 to 9 months,
depending on use.
- Open the division (FIG. 8) and remove the small bag (FIG. 9).
- Remove the filter (FIG. 10) and shake it hard to remove dust and other residues. If it is very dirty,
wash in warm soapy water; rinse thoroughly and leave to dry naturally. DO NOT use artificial dry-
ing means. To replace the filter, contact a Technical Assistance Centre.
- Insert the filter compartment back in its seat, making sure that the rough surface of the filter can be
seen.
- Finally, refit the dust bag and make sure that the filter compartment is properly secured before
use.
