Dear customer,
We hope you enjoy using your new GRUNDIG
bagless vacuum cleaner with its built-in Microban
®
hygiene protection.
Special features
– Microban® hygiene protection in dust container
and filters
– Operating radius approx. 8 meters
– Filtering in four stages using washable filters
with integrated Microban®hygiene protection
– Multi-level extendable telescopic tube for adjus-
ting to individual height
– Multi-floor brush and a cleaning roller (fabric
master)
– Small nozzle for places that are difficult to reach
– Suction brush attachment especially for furnitu-
re, picture frames, etc.
Additional contents include:
– a Microban® HEPA filter
– a Microban® pre-motor filter
What is Microban®?
Microban® is odourless, colourless and tasteless.
Microban® inhibits the growth of micro-organisms
by permeating the cell walls and destroying the
micro-organism cells. These cells are then no longer able to reproduce and growth is prohibited.
Grundig offers an effective way to clean hygienically with the impressive technology from Microban®. The Grundig dust filter is equipped with
the integrated Microban® hygiene protection.
This inhibits the spread of even tiny microscopic
particles including house mites, pollen and dust.
Dangerous bacteria can barely survive with the
integrated Microban® hygiene protection in the
container and filter.
Microban
®
technology has been tested in independent laboratories and certified, thus making a significant contribution towards a healthier household.
