VACUUMING
• Do not use without the clear bin and filter in place.
• Fine dirt such as flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the appliance to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc. They may damage the appliance.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear
bin or wand. These are harmless and are not associated with the mains electricity
supply. To minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object
into the clear bin unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water
)see ‘Cleaning the clear bin’(.

underside of the floor tool and its brushes are free from foreign objects that could
cause marking.
• Do not push hard with the floor tool when vacuuming, as this may cause damage.
• Do not leave the cleaner head in one place on delicate floors.

If this happens, wipe with a damp cloth, polish the area with wax, and wait for it
to dry.
• To reduce suction )for example, when vacuuming rugs(, pull the suction release
trigger on the handle to reduce the airflow.
