Operation

Power cord

If the vacuum cleaner is operated for more than 30 minutes, the power cord must be unwound at least 2/3 of its maximum length.

Unwinding

^Hold the plug and pull out the power cord to the required length:

S 500 - S 548 series: maximum cord length is 24’ 7" (7.5 m)

S 600 - S 648 series: maximum cord length is 31’ 2" (9.5 m)

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the vacuum has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will only fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified technician who can install a proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Danger of overheating and damage.

Rewinding

^Unplug the vacuum from the outlet.

^Press the rewind button. The power cord will rewind automatically.

Auto-reverse

(select models)

To use this feature, move the slide switch to "Auto-Reverse". This releases the cable reel brake and allows the spring loaded reel to take up the slack between the appliance and the outlet.
