dust or our should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, •
paper clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum cleaner.
If used in a garage, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate and wheels with •
a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could
damage delicate oors.
Consult your ooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before •
vacuuming and caring for your ooring, rugs, and carpet. Some carpets will fuzz
if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend
vacuuming in hard oors mode and consulting with your ooring manufacturer.
When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear •
bin
TM
. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the mains supply.
To minimise any effect from this, do not put you hand or insert any object into
the clear bin
TM
unless you have rst emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water.
(See ‘Clear bin
TM
cleaning’ section.)
CARPETS/HARD FLOORS
When you switch the machine on for the rst time, the brush bar
will default to ON (spinning). The brush bar will automatically stop if
it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar stops during use, please refer
to the “Clear brush bar obstructions” section. To switch the brush bar
OFF (eg. for use on hard oors), recline the vacuum cleaner and turn the
brush bar ON/OFF control on the cleaner head to the OFF position. The
brush bar will remain OFF until it is turned back to ON at a later date.

Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ - please take care. •
