USE
•
Pull the cord out of the vacuum cleaner.
The cord may not be pulled out further
than the red mark. Plug in and switch
the current on.
•
Press the on/off button (14) to start and
stop the vacuum cleaner.
•
While in use, the suction force can be
regulated by opening and closing the
air valve (2) on the handle (1). It can
also be adjusted electronically using the
suction force regulation button (15).
•
The nozzles are to be used as follows:
Floor nozzle (20)
Floors, carpets and
rugs
Extra nozzle for
hard floors (22)
Hard floors
Furniture nozzle (23)
Furniture, curtains,
drapes, etc.
Joint nozzle (24)
Radiators, corners,
skirtings, etc.
Brush nozzle (25)
Shelves, books,
lampshades, etc.
•
The floor nozzle (20) has two settings.
When cleaning hard surfaces (parquet
flooring, flooring tiles, etc.), the nozzle
brushes should be extended. When
cleaning carpets and mats, the brushes
should be retracted into the nozzle.
Press the brush change button (21) to
switch between the two settings. The
brushes under the extra nozzle for hard
floors (22) cannot be retracted.
•
When you want to stop cleaning for a
moment, without turning off the cleaner
completely, you can use the parking aid
at the back of the vacuum cleaner. Slide
the plastic lug on the nozzle connector
into the groove at the back of the
cacuum cleaner and the cleaner will
switch itself off. It will start
automatically when you lift the nozzle
again.
•
If the bag change indicator (17) is red
when using the vacuum cleaner, or if
the suction force is significantly
reduced, the dust bag must be
changed. If the indicator remains on
after the bag has been replaced, it may
be due to one of the following reasons:
• The hose or nozzle is
blocked/clogged.
• The motor filter or air filter is dirty.
•
Investigate what is causing the lamp to
light and deal with the problem. The
vacuum cleaner must not be used if the
indicator is on. This may cause
irreparable motor failure.
CHANGING THE DUST BAG
•
If the vacuum’s suction force is
reduced, this may be because the bag
needs changing. Raise the floor nozzle
(20 or 22) off the floor, set the suction
force regulation (15) to MAX, switch on
the vacuum cleaner using the on/off
button (14), and keep an eye on the bag
change indicator (17). If it is red, the
bag must be changed.
•
Remove the hose. Pull the handle for
opening the dust bag container (11),
and open the vacuum cleaner.
•
Grasp the millboard at the top of the
dust bag and carefully remove the bag
from the vacuum cleaner.
•
Throw the bag in the bin. Make sure
that there are no holes in it. Do not fold
it.
•
Insert a new dust bag in the vacuum
cleaner. The vacuum cleaner must
never be used without a dust bag.
•
Close the vacuum cleaner again.
•
Always replace the bag after sweeping
up large quantities of (very) fine material
such as fine sand, cement, flour, etc.
CLEANING THE MOTOR FILTER
•
The motor filter can be found in the
dust bag container. It protects the
