Important safety instructions

● Before the appliance is used, the main

body as well as any attachments should be checked thoroughly for any defects. If the appliance, for instance, has been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.

● The power cord should be regularly

examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used.

● Always remove the plug from the wall

socket

- after use,

- in case of any malfunction, and

- before cleaning the appliance.

● When removing the plug from the wall

socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.

● Never use the vacuum cleaner to pick up

- sharp or pointed objects such as glass splinters,

- hot ashes, cigarette stubs or chemical matter,

- stone dust, plaster, cement or any similar fine dust particles,

- foam, water or other liquids.

● This appliance is not intended for use by

any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

● Children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with the appliance.

● Do not operate the vacuum cleaner

- if no dust bag has been inserted or if the dust bag is damaged,

- if the ‘dust bag full’ indicator shows that the bag has reached its capacity.

● The vacuum cleaner must not be used on

persons or animals. A considerable risk exists especially where ears and eyes are concerned. Keep the nozzle away from

the head at all times.

● No responsibility will be accepted if

damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.

● This appliance is only intended for

domestic use and not for commercial applications.

● In order to comply with safety

regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual.

Before using for the first time

Remove the appliance from its packaging.

Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials and make sure that the dust bag, the motor protection filter and the Hepa-filter are correctly inserted.

Thermal safety cut-out

This vacuum cleaner is equipped with an integral thermal safety cut-out, which automatically switches the appliance off in case of overheating (e.g. due to blockage in the tube or filter). Should this occur, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down for a minimum of one hour. The vacuum cleaner may then be used again after the blockage has been removed.

Operation

Put the vacuum cleaner in its horizontal operating position.

Insert the hose into the hose connection.

Connect the tube to the hose grip.

Attach any of the nozzles or tools provided to the end of the tube. If the full tube length is not required (e.g. when using the crevice tool), the nozzle may be attached directly to the hose grip.

Pull out the power cord from its storage to the necessary length (but not beyond

the red mark) and insert the plug into a suitable wall socket.

The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a very powerful motor. In order to prevent a fuse within your home electrical installation from being triggered when it is switched on, always set the power regulator to its lowest setting before the appliance is activated.

The electronic suction power regulator allows the suction power to be infinitely adjusted to your needs.

In addition, the suction power can be decreased further by opening the secondary air-flow opening slide in the hose grip.

Always start with a low setting when cleaning soft objects such as curtains.

● Always ensure that the power cord is not

routed around or runs over corners or edges, and that it cannot be jammed in a door.

During operation, the hose may be used to pull the unit along behind you. However, when carrying the unit, always use the carrying handle.

● To prevent the power cord from being

pulled with excessive force, always change to the next suitable wall socket when cleaning larger areas.

Switch off the appliance after use and remove the plug from the wall socket.

To retract the power cord automatically into its storage, press the foot switch of the retraction mechanism.

Accessories

The dual-purpose tool is located in the accessories compartment.

Multi-purpose tool

The multi-purpose tool is especially suitable for cleaning large areas. It can be adjusted for use on tile floors or carpeted floors by means of the lever on the attachment top.

The crevice tool is designed to clean difficult-

to-reach areas such as grooves, niches, corners and crevices.

Upholstery

brush

Fold out the brush element of the crevice tool in the direction indicated by the arrow until it locks into place. The brush tool is suitable for cleaning uneven areas such as upholstered surfaces, picture frames, rows of books etc.

Parquet-brush

The parquet brush is used for high-grade hard floors such as laminate floors, parquet or ceramic tiles.

Changing the dust bag or filters

● Before any filter is changed, always

switch the appliance off and remove the

plug from the wall socket. The vacuum cleaner uses replaceable filters. When replacing the motor protection filter, it may be necessary to cut the filter to size with a pair of scissors. The indicator shows when the dust bag needs changing: as soon as the indicator shows permanent red, the appliance must be switched off and the dust bag replaced. A noticeable decrease in vacuuming power also indicates that the dust bag has reached its capacity.

Changing the dust bag

Remove the hose by pressing the two

buttons at its end.

Push the filter compartment release

inwards to open the compartment.

Lift out the filter holder with the dust bag

attached.

Release the full bag by pulling up the

catch on the filter holder.

When inserting the new bag, make sure

that its cardboard frame is first fitted

under the rear lugs before it is locked

under the release catch.

Insert the filter holder with the new bag

into the filter compartment.

Close the cover of the filter compartment

by pressing it down lightly until it is heard clicking into place. The cover can only be closed with a dust bag inserted.

Changing the motor protection filter

The motor protection filter is located at the rear of the filter compartment. Should the filter be visibly dirty, replacement is recommended at the same time as the dust bag is changed.

Lift out the motor protection filter from the compartment.

Remove the old filter from its holding bracket.

Insert a new motor protection filter into the bracket.

Push the filter holder back into the compartment.

Changing the Hepa-filter

This filter is located in the Hepa-Filter compartment. Should the filter be visibly dirty, replacement is recommended at the same time as the dust bag is changed.

Press the release button for the Hepafilter and remove the compartment lid.

Remove the old Hepa-filter.

Fit a new Hepa-filter.

Replace the compartment lid and push it into position until it locks into place.

Cleaning and care

● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is

switched off and disconnected from the power supply.

● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not

clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water.

● Do not use abrasives, harsh cleaning

solutions or thinners for cleaning.

The housing of the unit and the accessories may be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth.
