3.3 Adjusting suction
power
You can adjust the suction power to suit the type of floor be-
ing cleaned.
Increase the suction power as required using the "
+
"
button (Fig. 12/1) or decrease the suction power with
the "
−
" button (Fig. 12/2):
-
low suction (1-2 LEDs)
:
for hard floors such as parquet, tiles, laminate, etc. or
for textiles such as drapes, curtains, etc.
-
medium suction (3-4 LEDs)
:
for short-pile carpets, runners, etc.
-
high suction (5 LEDs)
:
for deep-pile carpets, runners, etc.
With the bypass vent (Fig. 13/1) you can quickly reduce
the suction power if less power is needed, or to e.g. re-
lease objects accidentally sucked in.
NOTE:
The appliance has an overheating protection circuit. It automatically cuts off the power supply if
the motor is overheated. In this case switch off the vacuum cleaner with the on/off switch and pull
out the plug. Eliminate the cause of overheating (e.g. clogged suction paths or dirty filters). Wait
for about 45 minutes. After the appliance has cooled off, you may use it again.
NOTE:
The bypass vent (Fig. 13/1) should normally be com-
pletely shut so that the suction power is not reduced
unnecessarily.
