[. . . ] In order to prevent a fuse within your home electrical installation from being triggered when it is switched on, always set the power regulator to its lowest setting before the appliance is activated. The electronic suction power regulator allows the suction power to be infinitely adjusted to your needs. In addition, the suction power can be decreased further by opening the secondary air-flow opening slide in the hose grip. Always start with a low setting when cleaning soft objects such as curtains. Always ensure that the power cord is not routed around or runs over corners or edges, and that it cannot be jammed in a door. During operation, the hose may be used to pull the unit along behind you. However, when carrying the unit, always use the carrying handle.
