Operation
Regulating the suction
(for models with a rotary suction power selector)
The suction power can be regulated to suit the type of flooring. The higher the setting the more powerful the suction.
Reducing the suction power reduces the amount of effort required to manoeuvre the floorhead.
The controls also have symbols. The symbols indicate the type of use the settings are suitable for.
a - curtains, lightweight fabrics
b - upholstery, cushions
c - thick pile carpets, rugs and runners
d - for
e - lightly soiled rugs and fitted carpets
f - heavily soiled hard flooring, and for intensive cleaning of carpets
^Turn the rotary selector manually to the suction power setting you require.
Opening the air inlet valve
Opening the air inlet valve reduces the suction power quickly for brief periods, e.g. to prevent damage to the fringes of a rug when moving from cleaning a carpeted floor to a rug, or to prevent something being vacuumed up by mistake.
^Open the air inlet valve far enough to reduce the suction power.
The floorhead will be easier to manoeuvre. Close the valve when you are ready to use full power again.
