Operation
ATTENTION!
❐
During use, always keep the nozzles away from body parts and animals and do not
reach into them. You could be caught or injured. If something does get caught in the
vacuum cleaner, turn it off immediately (depress the On/Off switch ).
❐
Only turn on the vacuum cleaner once you are sure that all parts have been
completely mounted and that the dust bin and the
fi
lter have been properly inserted.
❐
To prevent the cord from becoming too hot when in use, pull at least two thirds of
its entire length out of the device before you switch on the vacuum cleaner. Do not
forcefully pull out the cord up to the stop point (no further than up to the red mark on
the cord) in order to prevent damage!
❐
Always turn off the device
fi
rst and pull the mains plug out of the socket before you
change a nozzle!
❐
Do not in any case vacuum up the following:
–
Liquids or wet materials (such as wet carpet shampoo)
–
smouldering ashes, cigarette butts, matches etc.
–
fl
ammable or ignitable materials
–
very
fi
ne dust (e.g. cement dust), ash or toner
–
hard, pointy objects such as bigger glass shards
1. Make sure that the respective accessory is properly mounted on the device (see
chapter “Assembly”).
2. Pull the mains cord only as far out of the housing as you need, ideally up to the yel-
low mark, but no further than up to the red mark on the cord!
3. Insert the mains plug in a properly installed socket that is easily accessible.
4. Press the On/Off switch to turn the vacuum cleaner on.
5. Move the nozzle over the surface you want to clean. You can pull the vacuum cleaner
like a sled when vacuum cleaning.
Am An auxiliary air valve is located on the handle.
Slide the cover to open it, thereby reducing the
suction power if you want to vacuum off cushions,
carpets or light-weight, moveable objects or
materials. Normally, the auxiliary air valve is closed
so as not to unnecessarily reduce the suction power.
6. After vacuum cleaning, press the On/Off switch again to turn off the vacuum cleaner.
7. Pull the mains plug out of the socket,
fi
rmly hold the mains cord and push the button
for the cord winder down with your foot. By holding the mains cord, you prevent
the cord from “lashing” against your legs for example.
8. If you used the
fl
oor nozzle, hook it into the bracket on the back of the device.
9. To ensure optimum performance of the device, empty the dust bin each time after
using the device and clean the
fi
lter regularly (see chapter “Cleaning the device”).
