PREPARING TO USE YOUR CLEANER
1. Insert the handle into the main body of
the cleaner.

CARPET CARE CONTROL SELECTOR
The carpet care control selector raises and
lowers the height of the nozzle.
Ensure that the cleaner is in the upright
(parked) position and move the selector to
the required setting for the carpet type or oor
covering.
Using the vacuum cleaner at the adjustment
setting position 1 will improve the energy
efciency of the product, but this can also
make the product more difcult to push and
manoeuvre. The other adjustment settings are for ease of use on longer pile carpets
or other cleaning tasks. Please refer to the following instruction:
Settings
1. Best performance and energy efciency, short to medium pile carpets, hard
wooden oors, wooden oor boards with crevices, ceramic tiles.
2. Medium pile carpets, delicate oor coverings such as vinyl or linoleum, parquet
ooring.
3. For longer pile carpets the motion resistance may increase. Use these
intermediate settings to reduce the force required to push the vacuum cleaner.
4. Luxury carpet and tool mode.
IMPORTANT: Using this cleaner for loop pile carpets with pile greater than
30mm is not recommended. Please consult the oorcare/carpet manufacturer’s
recommended cleaning instruction before vacuuming.
