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 (16) when desired.

Hints for optimum use

•When working in confined spaces, the accessory caddy (12) can be removed from the base.
