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.
