How to use

Connect the vacuum to a suitable mains outlet and adjust the telescopic tube and nozzle for the surface to be cleaned. Use the appropriate floor or carpet nozzle and work methodically from one end of the room to the other to ensure full coverage. Replace the dust bag when the bag capacity is reached or suction performance declines. Inspect and clean the HEPA filter according to the maintenance interval in the user manual to preserve filtration effectiveness and motor performance.

Recommendations

For best results on carpets, use a motorised or turbo brush if available; for hard floors, select a hard-floor nozzle to avoid scratching. Replace dust bags with original or compatible bagged consumables and change filters as recommended to maintain air quality and suction power. Avoid vacuuming large amounts of liquid or sharp objects that could damage the unit.
