The reasons for a choice: direct sales

Direct sales are a solid and structured channel, developed over the years to the point of acquiring particular features that traditional commercial structures don’t have.

Traditional structures have to offer a range of similar products in a range of different prices, whereas direct sales allows for a personalized demonstration tailored to the needs of every single family.

This way, with the help of the salesman, an advisor capable of solving every doubt related to household cleaning and hygiene, potential Customers can discover the product’s features and performance through a real “hands-on” approach.

Vorwerk saw this as the only way of demonstrating the uniqueness of its products, and so decided that was the only way to present them. Indeed, direct sales is the only way of establishing a direct rapport with Customers, entering their homes and presenting something that will enhance their quality of life. A choice that goes hand in hand with the philosophy of Total Quality that Vorwerk has followed since its beginnings, demonstrating a far-sightedness that separates it from the competition. But such a cutting edge, high technology product still needs the support of

another fundamental link in the chain: a personalized service for guiding customers in getting to know, trying out and buying the product.

From this came the commitment to develop a sales network that was truly up to the job, and that now counts hundreds of thousand advisors all over the world, distinguished for their professionalism, profound knowledge of the product and great relational skills.

With a wide network of Sales Offices and Service Centres, and an excellent customer care service, Vorwerk pays the greatest attention to after-sales support.

Because the relationship with the Customer doesn’t end with the demonstration, but goes on after purchase as well, through continual, long-term service.

A history of improving the quality of life

Vorwerk is the leading company in the field of household cleaning appliances: since the thirties, the vacuum cleaners manufactured at the factories of the Vorwerk Group have always been the perfect solution to household cleaning problems. Vorwerk is a success created by focusing attention on one key factor: the Customer. Never losing track of consumer demands, Vorwerk has been able to market a product that combines technology and simplicity, high quality and captivating design. A highly complex machine, developed though continual innovation resulting in hundreds of exclusive patents, the Kobold is extremely simple to use, making it a very practical and effective appliance. From the outset, the

company began an ongoing process of research into aesthetics applied to its machines, to give families a product capable of blending into the domestic environment perfectly, without looking out of place. A Philosophy of Quality that reflects in our motto “Our best for your family”, and in the makeup of our Sales Force. From the very outset Vorwerk adopted the direct, house to house sales channel as the best and only way of bringing its products into the homes of Italian families. The relationships that this creates with Customers reflect the Philosophy of Quality: relationships that our Salesmen build day by day, starting out from a Demonstration, and continuing after the sale through constant support.

 The beginning of the ‘70 saw

the first dry cleaning system for carpets and rugs, with Kobosan and Refreshing Kit adding effective chemical action to the system’s suction and mechanical action. In the ‘eighties the Kobold VK 120 brought a new dimension to the concept of modularity, becoming one of the world most widely used vacuum cleaner.

 In the early ‘nineties the

“Kobold System” concept reached completion with the birth of Pulilux, a new appliance that was capable of cleaning hard floors in a new and effective way. The year two thousand is an important milestone: the Kobold System underwent a technological and conceptual evolution, making an important step on the road toward innovating household cleaning appliances.

 Entering the XXI century, Kobold

is the synthesis of a decade of commitment, passion and research. World families now have at hand an integrated and modular System capable of tackling any type of cleaning problem: hard floors, carpets -even delicate ones-, carpeting, cleaning the largest or smallest surfaces, on mattresses and upholstery. In a word: everywhere there’s dust. Because it is a system, the Kobold is capable of combining suction power with effective mechanical action and the gentle strength of chemicals, to restore a pleasant and healthy environment, for you and your family.

 Today a new generation of

Kobold is carrying on this vision. Our new System respects the environment, combining low energy consumption with high efficiency. Its safety and quality are assured by many of the world’s leading certifications. The brand new Kobold

VK 140 generation has been projected

to be even more light and powerful, easy handling and effective, quiet and astonishing designed. Its electronic heart set a new state of the art in the market. With well-being in mind, Kobold has developed a new and exclusive generation of special filter that reduce the allergic potential of dust by retaining the particles they collect, especially the smallest and most harmful. And all this technology is even more easy to use.

Only a century ago, cleaning a house meant enormous effort. What now is just part of our daily routine was once a task that demanded an unthinkable amount of energy. The main reason for this situation was the simple lack appliances efficient enough to really clean, rather than just moving dust around as was so often the case. After this “prehistoric” period for domestic appliances, the first real vacuum cleaners began to appear. That was in the early twentieth century, when the advertisements used to boast features like “our cleaners are so light they can be lifted by just two people”: slogans that sound funny now, but you have to remember that up until the late twenties all domestic appliances were gigantic, difficult to use, costly and above all inefficient.

 This was the situation when

Vorwerk began introducing innovations in the thirties. The Ger man company marketed a product that revolutionized the concept of the vacuum cleaner,

with revolutionary features for the time: it was light, practical, effective and relatively cheap. They baptized the new machine “Kobold”, the sprite: an enchanting name for a product destined to become world famous thanks to its exceptional qualities. The new product won the hearts and homes of people immediately, thanks to highly competitive features and the direct sales strateg y adopted by the Group. From then on, sales went from strength to strength, to give millions of families the ideal solution to the problem of household cleaning. Soon after its birth, the Kobold was already something more than just a vacuum cleaner. Equipped with a full range of accessories for all household needs, it began to show its decisive multifunctional characteristics.

 The decades that followed were

a succession of innovations, fruit of unrelenting attention to technological research. At the end of the ‘50 the first electric carpet-brush was presented in Europe, which combined suction power with a mechanical action capable of cleaning carpets like never before. New accessories increased the range of floors and surfaces the Kobold could clean, and the “Kobold System” began to take shape.

Premium Filterbag FP 40: 3 in 1

With the development of the new

Kobold VK 140 comes also a brand

new and innovative filtering technology included in the

Premium Filterbag FP 40.

The new Premium Filterbag FP 40 has 3 features in 1 filterbag:

 high filtration efficiency (HEPA

classification);

 optimized dust capacity (rela-

tive to the comparatively small filter volume);

 odour filtration and a pleasant

fragrance in combination with Dovina.

Moreover, with the use of the new

Premium Filterbag FP 40, the great

suction power of the Kobold

VK 140 lasts for a longer period.

In contrast to the Kobold VK 140 other vacuum cleaners need at least 2 filter elements for achieving a comparable filtration performance.

The so called HEPA filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter) is integrated inside the Filterbag, this allows the filtering of the smallest particles, inhalable by man, which can cause allergies.

The new filtering system

Filtration Efficiency (HEPA, High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter)

The filtration efficiency of filter elements is evaluated by the European standard EN1822. According to this standard the

Premium Filterbag FP 40 has

achieved HEPA H11 level, this means that our Filterbag can block up to 99% of particles with size around 0.09 µm (1000 times smaller than a human hair), and since bacteria have an average size of 0.5 µm to 50 µm, the Premium

Filterbag FP 40 effectively filters

out 99% of all bacteria. To achieve this result, we used special materials that attract dust and dirt thanks to their particular electrostatic charge.

The Kobold VK 140 system has achieved the TÜV seal as a guarantee for allergy sufferers: the emission of allergens are below all known medical and allergological limits.

Optimized Dust Capacity

The Kobold VK 140 was designed to be compact and lightweight and extremely easy to handle, and even the Filtrello Premium FP 40 was designed to have great dust capacity despite its relatively low volume of just 2.5 liters. This is thanks to the special bag configuration, with three different layers, shown in

FIGURE B.

Every layer has to fulfill a special filtration function.

The pre-separation layer consists of a very voluminous fabric material which removes larger particles and fibers (e.g. from animals, carpets, dust etc.) and stores these inside the layer. However, smaller particles can penetrate the pre-separation layer, but the adjacent precipitation layer removes these very small particles.

This is thanks to their special electrostatic charge.

By the pre-separation of larger particles and fibers a premature clogging of the filter bag can be avoided and the dust capacity of the filter bag can be increased. This ensures a long-lasting and high suction power for the

Kobold VK 140.

The outer layer is made of a strong fabric designed to prevent damage to the inner layers.

Odour Filtration

The built-in anti-odour pearls absorb bad odours inside the filter bag.

These pearls have and incredibly large activated surface area.

Each gram of these pearls has an equivalent surface area of around 6 tennis courts.

The open porous structure adsorbs the smell deep inside the antiodour pearls where it remains. Combined with the Dovina fragrance chip your house smells fresh and clean.

TÜV Certificated Premium Filterbag FP 40 (first certified bag ever)

The FP 40 Premium Filterbag is the world’s first filter bag to be certified

by the TÜV Nord authority as a

premium quality filter bag.

This certification is only awarded to high-quality filter bags that have special hygienic properties.

 Highest filtration efficiency  Odour filtration  High dust capacity related to

the filtration volume

 Brilliant fine dust reduction,

and bacteria removal

 Insignificant impact with fine

dust for customers while filter bag replacement and disposal

 Best germs retention  Highest strength durability of

the filter bag

9 times patented Premium Filterbag FP 40

A total of 9 patents are proof of the highly innovative technology used for the FP 40 Filterbag.

The new FP 40 Filterbag’s capacity to retain micro-particles and allergens is guaranteed for 3 years from the date of manufacture. After this period, retention capacity decreases, just as the HEPA filter.

However, this has no effect on the usability of the filterbag and does not damage the appliance.

There are many sources of household dust: people and pets continually shed scales of dead skin tissue, hair and fur. Normal life habits (household chores, cooking, eating, hobbies, smoking, etc.) create other kinds of dust and particles. Particles and heavy metals get into our homes every day through doors and windows, on shoes, clothes and anything else brought in from the outside. Mattresses, upholstery, carpets and rugs trap this dirt, and produce dust themselves as well. Household dust is thus made up of organic and inorganic substances. High concentrations of certain types of these substances, called allergens, can cause allergies, even in people who have never suffered them before. By allergy, we mean an overreaction of the body to other wise innocuous substances in the environment. Many of these substances, to which many people are allergic, are produced by mites in household dust.

Dust mites belong to the arachnid species (like spiders) and feed mainly on dead skin and bacteria. People with allergic illnesses usually have a hereditary predisposition to developing hypersensitivity to ambient allergens, but more often than not it is prolonged contact with these substances that effectively generates the reaction. Since people spend most of their time

in confined spaces, care for our homes is a fundamental factor in caring for our health. Caring for the home doesn’t mean just removing visible dirt (traditional cleaning) but also eliminating invisible dirt, hazardous to our health, to improve the quality of life in the domestic environment. Vorwerk has long since gone beyond the simple concept of vacuum cleaner. Our challenge is to provide families with a global system for removing dirt: easy to use, manageable, quick and versatile, able to reach into every corner of the house to prevent dirt accumulating. Vorwerk has fitted its appliances with a state of the a filtering system, capable of retaining 99.97% of particles down to 0.09 microns. For this reason, Vorwerk appliances have been awarded the prestigious TÜV and HEPA markings for their anti-allergic effectiveness and quality. These filters are a real help, especially with small children and pets around the house.

With the level A the EB 360 automatically adjust the suction power of the Kobold

VK 140 to the different floor types.

For all other accessories and motors the level A gives a suction power equal to 1 to the Kobold VK 140.

The Kobold VK 140 is also equipped with a secondary switch located on the back side of the appliance.

Maintenance

In the Kobold VK 140 all the filter system is integrated in the Filterbag thus changing it will renew the entire filtering system.

If, while using the appliance, the exhausted filterbag display is completely yellow the filter bag should be changed.

(FIGURE 21)

The filterbag is exhausted when its pores are blocked by the dust and not by the quantity of material contained, which means that vacuuming a great quantity of very fine dust could result in exhaustion of the filterbag even when it is not completely full.

When the Kobold VK 140 is unusually loud as well or the suction power performance is reduced, check if the filter bag should be changed.

 For protecting the motor from soiling, the

Kobold VK 140 has a separate motor protection filter; this filter ensures the long life and performance of the appliance thus must be always kept in place while vacuuming.

Finally, close the filter cassette back onto the motor head ensuring that it clicks firmly into place.

(FIGURE 31)

The Kobold VK 140 is fitted with a special system that prevents the filter cassette from closing if the filterbag is not present, is not corrected inserted or is not the filter suitable for the appliance.

 If the filter cassette does not close easily,

do not force it and check if you have correctly inserted the Premium Filterbag FP 40.

 During a long period of usage, if the

ambient temperature is high or vacuuming with a exhausted filterbag, the Kobold VK 140 may switch to a higher performance setting due to overheating and therefore no regulation of the suction power is possible. In this situation an air vent opens automatically and allows air into the interior of the motor. This significantly reduces the suction performance power and the Kobold VK 140 becomes louder. If the filterbag is not exhausted then examine the suction canal of the Kobold VK 140 and of the attached appliance or nozzle. Then remove any blockage and/or change the filterbag if necessary. Only after the cooling of the motor the performance setting can be regulated again.

 Do not reuse filter bags. Due to the

blocked pores, the Kobold VK 140 loses performance and can overheat.

 If the filter bag breaks, clean the filter

compartment and the motor protection filter thoroughly. If the motor protection filter is very soiled, replace it. Then change the filter bag. In order to re-establish the allergy reducing performance, turn the appliance on and let it run at least 45 minutes. This measure is for ensuring the anti-allergic performance of the appliance. Not doing it will under no circumstances damage the appliance.

Caring for the motor protection filter

The motor protection filter is important for the long life of your appliance. It protects the motor from soiling.

(FIGURE 32)

The motor protection filter should only be vacuum cleaned or replaced if it is heavily soiled or the filterbag breaks.

Cleaning the motor protection filter

Remove the motor protection filter. To do this, open the appliance where you will find the motor protection filter located directly on the top.

(FIGURE 33)

You can clean the filter by gently vacuuming it.

When inserting the motor protection filter, please observe that you insert it exactly according to its form so that no air flows around it.

Lavenia for mattress hygiene

Before using Lavenia on your mattresses, clean them with the EB 360 and Mattress Brushes. After doing this, fit the Freshener

Kit FK 360 in the EB 360 (see

PAGE XX) and

spread the Lavenia over the mattress following the instructions given with the product. Switch on the Kobold VK 140.

the VK 140 vacuuming remains off. If it does not, check that the brushes are correctly fitted and the colours correspond. If the fault persists, switch off the Kobold VK 140 and contact your nearest Technical Service

(see page XX).

 Only use Lavenia, never any other type

of powder, liquid of foam detergent. We recommend testing Lavenia on a small part of the mattress before cleaning the whole mattress.

Pass the brushes over the mattress as explained in the Lavenia instructions. Allow the Lavenia to penetrate into the mattress, rubbing it in with the brushes for about 3 minutes. After doing this, allow the Lavenia to dry, if possible with the windows open. This takes around half an hour, according to the type of mattress and the temperature of the room.

Read the instructions given on the back of the Kobotex container. Apply Kobotex directly to the stain, rubbing it in from the outside of the stain inwards. Continue this action until no visible traces are left on a clean cloth after rubbing it on the stain. If left for a long time, certain stains can permanently discolour carpets and rugs. We recommend cleaning stains as soon as they form, as rapidly as possible.

 Before removing stains with Kobotex,

test its effect on a small portion of the carpet. Kobotex will not remove paint stains or other substances containing solvents.

The Pulilux PL 515 is a specific appliance for cleaning and maintaining hard floors.

Combining powerful all round perimeter suction with effective brushing action, the Pulilux PL 515 assures more effective dry cleaning of your floors.

It comes with two combined brush modules capable of adapting to most types of hard floors (see next page):

 the Hard floor module:

on one side a ring of cleaning bristles for deep cleaning grooves in the floor, profiles and rough surfaces, on the other, pad brushes recommended for vitrified ceramic floors and for removing stubborn dirt.

 the Polishing module

for waxed and parquet floors:

polishing brushes on one side and polishing pads on the other, mainly for cleaning and efficiently polishing waxed floors. Used regularly, it keeps waxed floors shining.

by thorough cleaning, apply the new wax following the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow the wax to dry completely, then polish the floor with the waxing brushes, turn over the Module and use the polishing pads to give the floor its final gloss.

Polishing pads side

waxed surfaces

(FIGURE 11), whether hard

 Do not use the appliance on wet

surfaces or outdoors.

 Never run the Pulilux PL 515 over the

connecting cable or other cables lying on the floor.

 Do not use the Pulilux PL 515 with

inflammable waxes.

 Stay away from rotating brushes of the

electronic brush.

Polishing with Kobolin

Remove the old wax coat, dirt and stains by thoroughly washing the floor. Spread the Kobolin

(FIGURE 12) wax

emulsion evenly on the clean and dry floor using a humid cloth or a mop. Let the wax emulsion dry well, at least 20 minutes and preferably do not walk on the surface. The Polishing-brushes (black discs) are used on the dried Kobolin wax emulsion for a rough polish and to remove excessive wax.

Polishing pads

– To achieve a better

optical effect and to obtain a glossy finish, use the polishing pads and polish. One square meter should be worked on for about one minute, this also increases the durability of the wax coating.

Tip: Kobolin wax emulsion can only be used on water resistant floors; such as sealed parquet, stone floors (marble, granite and tiles), PVC-floors and linoleum. A bottle of

Kobolin can be used on appr. 330 m

sealed

parquet or stone floors, and for appr. 70 m

on PVC and linoleum floors.

the appliance, and never for carrying it.

Hard floor Module

Cleaning brush side Pulilux (FIGURE 8) with cleaning brushes is highly effective for the daily dry maintenance of most types of hard floors such as tile, terracotta, porcelain gres, clinker, rubber, etc. Their main feature is their capacity to work even on floors that aren’t perfectly flat, and with wide crevices. Regular use stops the build-up of dirt in the crevices and helps maintain the original colour.

Power pad side

– These pads (FIGURE 9)

are extremely effective for removing driedon dirt and the opaque patina left after traditional cleaning. They are perfect for flat, non-waxed tiled or porcelain gres floors.

 The PADS are not suitable for other

types of floor. Do not use them on metal or fabric surfaces. Do not work on a single point with the PADS for more than 3 seconds. Only the PADS are replaceable (see

PAGE 36). Keep the Pulilux PL 515

moving when cleaning, and never stationary when switched on.

The two Pulilux PL 515 modules should never be washed, but can be easily cleaned using the accessories of the Kobold VK 140. The brush units and housings can be replaced when necessary.

With the Hard Floor module, it is possible to change just the Pads, since they tend to wear down more rapidly than the other brushes.

If the PAD set (hard floor module) is worn, replace it with a new set. To do this, lever up the white ring under the PAD using a flat, thin tool that is not sharp. When fitting the new PAD, make sure that the attachments penetrate correctly into their respective seats.

(FIGURE 13)

If the polishing pads (Polishing module) are heavily soiled, for example, by wax residues, the module must be replaced. If necessary, the brush unit housing plate can also be replaced.

Open the cowling, remove the brush unit and apply leverage to the two attachment points, exerting the same force on both points (as shown in

FIGURE 14).

After inserting the new plate onto the two pins, position the brush unit on the plate, close the cowling and lower the handle: the

Pulilux PL 515 is now ready to use again.

For exceptional cases in which obstructions have to be removed from the frontal suction channels, open the cover as shown in the photo and remove the obstruction. Then close the cover again by attaching the two hooks and pressing the pins into their guides.

For this purpose, you place the electrical suction tube in an upright position until your hear the joint nozzle of the Electronic Brush click into place. It is of high importance that the electrical suction tube is leaning forward in a straight line, otherwise it could tip over.

(FIGURE 16)

In the parking position, the Electronic Brush switches itself off automatically. Thus, you can interrupt the vacuuming process for a short while, for example to put aside or pick up an object, without having to switch off the appliance. The Tiger 260 will remain at the performance level previously selected.

Transporting

For transporting the appliance at home, the Tiger 260 is equipped with a handgrip on the upside as well as a recessed grip located at the front of the underside of the appliance.

(FIGURE 17)

 If no filter bag is inserted, the appliance

hood cannot be closed. Always use Vorwerk original filter bags to ensure optimum performance from your appliance.
