Vacuuming

Pull out cable B and insert plug into mains.
(to retract cable, pull out mains plug, hold plug firmly, and press button A.)

Switch on/off by pressing button E (there is the possibility of a delay in starting of
up to 4 seconds at the lowest power level due to electronic starting current
limitation).

Set suction power using suction power regulator D. This can also be reduced by
opening the power regulator on handle L in order to vary the amount of strength
required to push the vacuum cleaner.

Special accessories

Easy clean kit

The easy clean kit efficiently cleans fragile objects, such as
plants, lamps and porcelain. The airflow created in the
container continually cleans the duster and maintains a
static charge.

Hardfloor nozzle

The special nozzle is for use on parquet, tiled and hard
floor.

Mini set

4 special nozzles and brushes plus a flexible mini hose for
cleaning technical appliances and delicate parts.

Turbo nozzle

The turbo nozzle makes the care of carpets easier. The
rotary motion of its brush gently loosens short-pile carpets
where the dirt has been trodden in. It removes stubborn
fluff and pet hairs.

Changing dustbag

Change dustbag S when display F is filled with colour (can be checked with the appliance
operating at maximum suction and with the nozzle raised from the floor).
A change may be necessary even if the bag does not appear to be full.
Fine dust can block the pores and reduce the suction power of the appliance.

Switch off the appliance and open the dust chamber lid by pulling release catch G.
Remove dustbag S by pulling on the sealing tab.
Push new dustbag into the retainer until it clicks into place. Take care when closing the dust
chamber lid that the dustbag is completely inside the dustchamber border. The dust
chamber lid will not close unless a dustbag has been inserted. Please do not use force!

Change motor protection filter T.

Replace microfilter V if display C is filled with colour or after every fifth dustbag change or if the
suction power is significantly reduced / Clean HEPA filter X if display C is illuminated:

Maintenance and cleaning

For maintenance or cleaning, switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains.
As required, wipe the housing and the dustbag chamber with a cloth and then dry.

Do not use any scourers or any solvents. Occasionally vacuum the floor nozzle and
the brushheads with the crevice nozzle.

What to do, if...

... it is difficult to push the nozzle:

Reduce suction power (depending on the type of carpet). This will not conspicuously
reduce the cleaning efficiency.

the motor thermal cut-out has tripped: e. g. as the result of overloading the
motor if the dust-bag is full or if an accessory is blocked.

Switch off the appliance, unplug from the mains, and leave the motor to cool down.
Check dustbag, suction tube and suction hose; remove any blockage. The appliance
can be switched on again after approximately 30 minutes.

... the fuse has blown: The fuse can be blown if other electric appliances with a
high power con-sumption are used at the same time and on the same circuit as the
vacuum cleaner.

If this is the case, set the suction power regulator to the lowest setting before
switching on and only select a higher suction level after switching on.

 the cable does not retract fully:

The cable is caught up on the cable drum.
Pull the cable out again a little and press button A again.

.the dust chamber lid will not close:

Check that the dustbag has been inserted.
If it has, check that the dustbag has clicked into position.

Protecting the environment

Appliance packaging: We recommend keeping the packaging for the duration of

the guarantee so that the appliance can be transported safely.
Recycling the appliance at the end of its life: The plastic components all carry a

material identi-fication marking so that, like the other materials, they can be recycled
at the end of the life of the appliance.
