USING YOUR APPLIANCE:
Before Assembly
• Before assembling, remove the wheels and accessories from inside the vacuum cleaner. To do
this, release the locking block to open the unit housing.
• Once you have removed all the parts from inside the vacuum cleaner, close the housing back
up and fasten the locking clips on either side of the dust tank to secure it into place.
Connecting the Wheels
• To attach the wheels to the vacuum cleaner, insert each wheel into its corresponding slot
at the bottom of the unit. Ensure all four wheels are firmly attached and secure before
proceeding with assembly.
Connecting the Flexible Hose
• To connect the flexible hose to the vacuum cleaner, push the hose connector firmly into the
hose socket at the front of the appliance until it locks into place.
Connecting the Plastic Tubes
• To connect the plastic tubes, attach the larger end to the hose handle and twist to secure it
into place. If required, connect the second extension tube to the first plastic tube in the same
way for added reach.
• Once the plastic tubes are connected, adjust them to your preferred length by pushing
forward the switch on the body of the tube.
• To remove the plastic tube, grip each one firmly, then pull it away from the main body of the
appliance.
Connecting the Accessories
This vacuum cleaner comes complete with the following accessories;
• A wet and dry floor brush for use with carpets, hard floors or wet floors.
• A crevice tool to vacuum corners or narrow gaps.
• A brush tool to clean fabrics and delicate surfaces.
To connect and use the accessories included with this vacuum cleaner, attach each one to the end
of the tube, as required. Ensure each accessory is firmly connected to the tube before turning on the
vacuum cleaner, to prevent them from falling off whilst in use.
To remove each accessory, grip it firmly, then pull it away from the main body of the appliance.
NOTE: The crevice tool and brush tool clip together as a 2-in-1 attachment. Pull the brush end apart
from the main body of the attachment to reveal the crevice tool. To use the brush end once it has
been removed, simply push it back into the main body of the attachment until it clicks into place.
NOTE: Keep the brushes free of fibres, hairs, and other objects that could impede proper
functioning. Always remove these types of objects when the brush picks them up.
Using the Vacuum:
• To use your vacuum cleaner, star by plugging it into a mains socket.
• Once the vacuum is plugged in, press the ON/OFF switch on top of the appliance to turn it on.
NOTE: You can adjust the airflow by pushing the sliding block on the hose handle up or down, as
required.
NOTE: This vacuum cleaner works well both on smooth surfaces such as wood, ceramic, tiles and
marble, and on hard, short-haired carpet. It should NOT be used on long-haired carpets as the fibres
will damage the system.
CAUTION! For added safety, this vacuum cleaner is fitted with a waterproof switch cover. Should this
cover be damaged in any way, take care to replace it immediately.

This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a motor protective thermostat. If
for some reason your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automat-
ically turn the suction motor off. Should this occur, allow it to cool for 1
hour, then empty the dust container and clean all of the filters.
The vacuum will not
pick-up or the suction
power is weak
The dust container may be full, or the filters may require cleaning.

loosen it. Remove the knob from its slot, then pull the filter out from the main body of the
appliance.
