FLOOR CLEANING

ASSEMBLING THE LUX sora

Connecting the electrical hose

Attach the electrical hose to the socket of the LUX

sora until it can be heard to click into place. Note

the electrical interface, since the electrical hose can
only be assembled in one position.
The hose is connected to the LUX sora by means
of a 360 degree joint. This joint allows easy
vacuuming around the vacuum cleaner.
To detach the electrical hose, press the two release
buttons and lift off the electrical hose.

Connecting the electrical tube
Insert the electrical tube into the handle socket until
it can be heard to click into place.
To detach the electrical tube, press the release
button on the handle and pull out the electrical tube.

Please note
The LUX sora can only be used with its electrical
hose, not with any hose of previous Lux models.

Connecting the floor nozzle
Insert the electrical tube into the joint nozzle of the
floor nozzle until it can be heard to click into place.
Both devices are now ready for operation.
To detach the floor nozzle, press the release button on
the electrical tube and pull it out.

Switching plates

The floor nozzle comprises of two plates; the bristle
plate for hard floors and the carpet plate for carpets and
rugs.
To switch the plates, press the clip on the lower part of
the plate and lift it off. Fit the required plate and press
the clip until it can be heard to click into place.

Connecting to the mains
Extend the power cord and connect the electrical
plug to the mains. Note the red mark indicating the
end of the cord. To rewind the cord, slightly pull it
back (2.5 cm) and release it. The cord will rewind
automatically.

Switching on and off
After your LUX sora has been connected to the
mains, the green ready-for-operation light on the
appliance will illuminate. The LUX sora is switched
on and off by means of the sliding switch on the
handle. Select the desired performance setting
between “A and 3”. Performance setting “A” is an
automatic function designed for the EB360
accessory. On level “A”, the LUX sora will
automatically adjust its suction power to the surface
conditions. It is mainly meant for loose rugs and
carpets.

For your safety:

! To protect against risk of electrical shock, always switch off the

appliance prior to any adaptation, cleaning, or maintenance work.
Remove the electrical plug from the socket. Never unplug the
appliance by pulling the electric cord.

WORKING WITH THE LUX sora

The floor nozzle is suitable for cleaning hard floors, waxed
floors, parquet or ceramic tiles. It has a flexible plate bristle,
designed to handle hard-to-reach areas like corners, around
furniture feet, under chairs and tight space.

The floor nozzle and the curved electrical tube are
especially designed for conveniently vacuuming under
furniture with reduced floor access.

The swiveling head allows to vacuum in tight corner and
around any obstacles.

PARKING AND STORING

Parking

The LUX sora and the floor nozzle can stand on their
own due to the ergonomically shaped electrical tube.
Place the electrical tube in an upright position until the
joint of the floor nozzle clicks into place. It is of
importance that the electrical tube is leaning forward in a
straight line, otherwise it could tip over. In the parking
position, the LUX sora will remain at the performance
level previously selected.

Carrying
Use the hand grip on top of the appliance to carry the

LUX sora around. Alternatively, carry the appliance

using the recessed grip located at the bottom front of
the appliance.

Storing

Always store your LUX sora in a dry space at room
temperature with the power switched off, the electrical plug
disconnected and the power cord rewound. Put the appliance
upright and attach the electrical tube as shown in the picture.

ABOVE FLOOR CLEANING

APPLICATIONS

Connecting accessories

Insert the desired accessory into the handle socket until it
can be heard to click into place. The handle rotates 360
degrees allowing a convenient use of all accessories.
To disconnect the accessory, push the release button on
the handle and pull out the accessory.
Select the performance level on the switch of the handle.
We recommend level “3” for above floor areas.

Textile nozzle

You can clean textiles and fabrics as well as upholstery,
curtains and mattresses from hairs, threads and lint using
the textile nozzle.

If needed, connect the electrical tube between the handle
and the desired nozzle to enhance your reach.

Crevice nozzle

The crevice nozzle thoroughly vacuums dust from seams
and gaps, in upholstery, mattresses and between furniture
items. Its two joints allow a variety of adjustments, making
your work particularly comfortable.

Crevice nozzle & radiator brush

For dust removal from radiators, air conditioner filters,
window grills, Venetian blind blades and similar items,
use the radiator brush in combination with the crevice
nozzle.

Soft nozzle

The soft nozzle can be used on a variety of applications
with its adjustable brush length and hardness. Choose
from 10 different settings by pushing the outer pipe
forward over the bristles.

With the soft nozzle, you can dust furniture and books…

… picture frames…

…stereos and other profiled surfaces.

Blowing adapter and optional spray bottle

The spray bottle can be attached to your LUX sora in
order to disperse water. Connect the spray bottle to the
handle. Mount the electrical hose on the outlet vent of
the vacuum cleaner by means of the adaptor attached.
The spray bottle is dispensed by closing the two

pinholes on top of the main body. Close the holes by
applying finger pressure on it. The amount and size
distribution of the spray droplets can be adjusted by
turning the ring in front of the nozzle.

Please note

The blowing function cannot be regulated by the sliding
switch on the handle. Once you remove the electrical hose
from its outlet, the LUX sora starts automatically and runs
on performance setting “3”.

For your safety:

! Do not use the spray bottle with corrosive or combustible liquids.
! Do not use the spray bottle while vacuuming. Only use the spray

bottle in combination with the blowing adaptor attached to the
outlet of the appliance.

! Always hold the spray bottle upright.

CHANGING THE FILTERS

General note

During care and maintenance of your LUX sora, always pay attention to the filter
exchange indicator on the appliance hood. If you do not change the filters, in
particular the filter bag, the LUX sora will no longer have its full suction power
performance.

Filter bag

The filter exchange indicator on the LUX sora indicates the
amount of dust content in the filter bag. If the indicator is
completely yellow, the pores of the filter bag are blocked to
such an extent that the bag has to be exchanged.

In order to change one of the various filters, pull the metal
release handle and open the appliance hood.

Take out the full filter bag. Afterwards insert a new filter
bag making sure that the holding plate fits into the
respective recesses of the appliance. After closing the
appliance hood, the filter exchange indicator is reset
automatically. The display is not yellow anymore.

Please note
If no filter bag is inserted, the appliance hood cannot be
closed. Always use Lux original filter bags to ensure
optimum performance of your appliance.

Active odour filter

The active odour filter is made of granular charcoal. Due to
its immense surface structure this filter is capable of
removing bad smells and odours resulting from decaying
organic substances in the filter bag. At the same time, the
active odour filter acts as a motor protection filter.

In order to change the active odour filter, take out the
filter bag first. Press the upper flap of the holding grid.
Pull the grid out and remove the filter pad. Insert a new
filter pad into the grid with the printing facing outwards.
Push the grid back into its original position and hook in
the upper flap. Re-insert the filter bag. When you have
closed the hood, the appliance is ready for operation.

After inserting the active odour filter has an effective life
span of approximately one year, depending on use.

HEPA hygiene micro filter

The HEPA hygiene micro filter collects the smallest dust
particles.
It is of particular importance for people who are allergic to
household dust, but also prevention for non-allergic
people. The HEPA hygiene micro filter ensures that the
air exhausted is cleaner than the air in the room.

In order to change the HEPA hygiene micro filter, open
the appliance hood and press the flap located at the side
of the HEPA hygiene micro filter. When inserting the new
HEPA hygiene micro filter, make sure the flap is facing
towards the cable drum. Then close the hood. The
appliance is now ready for operation.

After inserting, the HEPA hygiene micro filter has an
effective life span of one year, depending on usage.

The HEPA hygiene micro filter and the active odour filter
can be disposed with your household waste.

Dovina fragrance chip

Press the Dovina fragrance chip on the plastic plate of
the HEPA hygiene micro filter.

The seal of ultimate filtration

The filter system of the LUX sora follows the regulations
set by the German TÜV institute to be suitable for people
with allergies. This means that the air exhausted from the

LUX sora is cleaner than the air in the room.

MAINTENANCE

For your safety

! The connections of the electrical hose (and

electrical tube) may never be damp-cleaned. When
stored, the hose should never be hung at only
one point. Never fold sharply.

Cleaning the textile nozzle

Pull the suction shoe off on one side. After cleaning, first
reinsert the suction shoe into the rear edge and then press
it lightly forwards until it snaps into place.

Cleaning the soft nozzle

The soft nozzle has a washable bristle ring. Wash the
bristle ring by hand in cold water with a little delicate
detergent. Ensure that it is completely dry before
vacuuming again.

Cleaning the optional spray bottle

Clean the spray bottle with water and delicate detergent only.
Keep the spray bottle dry when not in use.
