Vacuuming
! Caution
Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of wear,
depending on the type of hard floors you have (e.g.
rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you must check the
underside of the floor tool at regular intervals. Worn
undersides of floor tools may have sharp edges that
can damage sensitive hard floors, such as parquet or
linoleum. The manufacturer does not accept any re-
sponsibility for damage caused by worn floor tools.

Rugs and carpets =>

Hard floors/parquet =>
If you are vacuuming up larger particles, make sure that
you vacuum them up successively and carefully to en-
sure that the vacuum channels of the floor tool do not
become blocked.
If necessary, you should raise the nozzle in order to
better vacuum up the dirt particles.

In order to achieve good vacuuming results, the dust
container should be emptied after every use or, at the
latest, when dust or dirt has visibly collected on the
fluff filter or when dust at one point in the container
has reached the height of the marking.
When emptying the dust container, always check how
dirty the fluff filter is and, if necessary, clean it as
