If you want to store the appliance for a longer period of time, empty the
dust container,
Z
Chapter 5.1, "Emptying the dust container"
.
Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Check appliance and power cord before each use.
A damaged appliance must never be used.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Especially when vacuum-cleaning stairs make sure
that you always stand on a higher level than the appliance.
ATTENTION:
Only use the cylinder vacuum cleaner when all filters are intact, dry and
correctly fitted. Make sure that no objects obstruct the telescopic tube,
the suction hose or other openings.
NOTE:
The appliance has an overheating protection circuit. It automatically
switches off the motor if it overheats, (e. g. due to an overfilled dust con-
tainer or clogged nozzles). In this case switch off the appliance and dis-
connect it from the mains. Eliminate the cause of the overheating. Wait
for about 45 minutes. When the device has cooled down you can use it
again.

WARNING:
Danger of electric shock! If the red marking (Fig. 6/2) shows, retract the
cord by pressing the cord retracting button (Fig. 6/3) to pull in the cord
up to the yellow mark (Fig. 6/1) again. Otherwise, the power cord may
be damaged.
NOTE:
In normal situations the bypass vent (Fig. 6/5) must be completely
closed. With the bypass vent you can quickly reduce the suction power,
e.g. to release curtains that have accidentally been sucked in.
WARNING:
When leaving your working-area, switch off the appliance and comply
with the notices in
Z
Chapter 4.3, "Switching off"
. This will help avoid
accidents.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! During uncontrolled retraction the power cord can whip
around, become a tripping hazard or knock over objects. Therefore,
keep the plug in your hand and guide the cord when retracting it.
