Operation

Automatic setting

If the Automatic setting is chosen the vacuum cleaner automatically adjusts the suction power to suit the surface being cleaned. This ensures the correct power setting for the type of floor or carpet being cleaned.

^ Keep pressing the – control until the Automatic setting is activated.

^ Press the + control to deactivate the Automatic setting.

,The Automatic setting is de- signed for use on carpets and floors only. Do not vacuum light weight arti- cles such as curtains or throw rugs using the Automatic setting. Excessive suction may damage these items.

Opening the air inlet valve

Opening the air inlet valve allows you to reduce the suction power quickly and easily for brief periods. This is useful if you have accidentally vacuumed up something too large, or when moving from cleaning a carpeted floor to a lightweight rug. Reducing the suction will prevent the object or rug from being sucked up and causing a blockage.

^Open the air inlet valve far enough to reduce the power. If necessary, re- move any blockage, close the valve and continue vacuuming.
