HOW TO USE FORBES TRENDY STEEL

Crevice nozzle (suction and blower end): The slim orifice of the crevice nozzle is ideal for tiny gaps and edges which cannot be reached in any other way, corners of walls, floor skirting, bookshelves, pelmets, upholstery joints, behind paintings, under furniture, behind heavy cupboards, inside kitchen shelves, etc. Grill brush (blower-end): The grill brush is equipped with cleaning tufts, ideal for dusting and blowing away dirt. It has hard bristles that dislodge caked dust which is then blown away by air pressure. Use it for cleaning balcony grills, window nets and A/C ducts. (Always use the crevice nozzle to connect the grill brush to your vacuum cleaner). Demothing vapouriser (blower end): The demothing vapouriser now has the ability to bring you relaxation. Use a cotton laced with perfume. Place it in the demothing vapouriser. The air flow will disperse gentle aroma in the room to enhance the feeling of relaxation. Using it in cupboards with naphthalene balls, will prevent the formation of fungus. Spray jar (blower end): Using the blower end, the spray jar can be used for watering plants, painting, and disinfecting rooms, dust-bins, etc. Place liquid in the spray jar, attach to blower end tube and cover the two round apertures with your thumb or index finger to start the spray. Release your thumb or index finger to stop the spray. Top cleaning adapters (suction and blower end): Use the top cleaning adapter set for accessing hard-to-reach spaces such as tops of cupboards, lofts etc. Now you can reach above, along and below a host of surfaces, otherwise inaccessible. Insert and twist the two sections of the flexi cleaner together and then attach either the all-surface cleaner or the corner cleaner. Coat brush (blower end): Use the coat brush to remove lint from expensive suits, coats and jackets. Connect the coat brush to the pipe at the suction end. Run the brush over the coat and blow away lint and dust. Jet air attachment (blower end): Use the jet air nozzle for cleaning delicate equipment such as computer keyboards, speakers in music systems, etc. You may also use it to blow balloons.

Trendy Steel

Car wash attachment (blower end): Insert a hose pipe into the car wash nozzle and turn on the tap. The nozzle will deliver a high pressure water jet to clean caked dirt from hard-to-clean locations of your vehicle. (A non-return valve ensures that water does not enter the vacuum cleaner.) Floor-cum-Carpet brush (suction end): Use it for floors, carpets and mattresses. Note that the swivel brush has two surfaces - the Brush face for floors, marble, granite, tile and mosaic surfaces and the Smooth face for carpets, rugs, quilts and mattresses. You can move from one to the other by turning the lever on the combination brush. All-purpose nozzle (suction end): Open the wings of the all-purpose nozzle and insert the suction tube from the Brush end. The all-purpose nozzle now works as an upholstery nozzle - it can be used for all kinds of upholstery, pillow covers, even suits and jackets. If the tube is placed from the wing side, the combination brush works as a multi-purpose duster that can be used on venetian blinds, window sills, plastic flowers, lampshades, etc.

Extension Tube: Helps you clean hard-to-reach places like ceilings, back of sofa etc.

Flexible Hose Pipe: Gives you flexibility to reach hard-to-clean areas.

PRECAUTIONS
Trendy Steel

Your Forbes Trendy Steel is designed for years of trouble-free service - even in difficult Indian conditions. But like all hard-working machines, it benefits from a little care and attention. Make certain that your Forbes Trendy Steel is cleaned and serviced at least twice a year. Ensure that the reusable Dust Bag is cleaned regularly. 1. Use only the Forbes Trendy Steel reusable dust bag - it is specially designed to keep in the dust while letting air pass through. 2. Your Forbes Trendy Steel can run for 3 hours non-stop or until the dust bag is full. After 3 hours, it should be rested for an hour. 3. If the reusable dust bag gets full before 3 hours, switch off your Forbes Trendy Steel, clear the dust bag and you can resume immediately. 4. Under no circumstances should you open the motor as this could nullify your warranty. If you face any problem, contact the authorised service provider. 5. Do not use your Forbes Trendy Steel on wet surfaces or allow water to enter the machine. It will damage the motor. 6. Do not connect the spray jar or the car wash to the suction end. This may damage the motor.

NOTE
1. In case your Forbes Trendy Steel gets over-heated due to blockage in the suction tube, the thermal cut-out trips and protects the motor. The unit automatically resets itself cooling down within ten minutes. 2. Your Forbes Trendy Steel is provided with turbine-type fans and air-guides rotating with a high speed motor, for effective suction. 3. The tonal value of the colour of your Forbes Trendy Steel may differ from that shown on the carton, poster, advertisement or any other promotional material. 4. Modifications in the product may be introduced from time to time. Details given in the manual are subject to change without prior notice. 5. Superior grade heat resistant ABS plastic is used to make your Forbes Trendy Steel superior in strength and able to withstand higher temperatures.
