Tips for vacuum cleaning
• The small crevice- and brush nozzles (21) can be used with and without brushes,
as they can be quickly extended or withdrawn. This nozzle may be stored in the
holder (12) at the rear of the appliance when not in use.
• You can park the floor nozzle in one of the parking brackets (at the rear (8) and
underside of the appliance) when taking a break from vacuuming.
• You can lift and carry the appliance using the carrying handle (1). Never pull or
lift the appliance by the cord.
REPLACING FILTERS AND DUST BAG
IMPORTANT! If the appliance loses suction power during use, the dust bag may
be full. The filters may also need cleaning or replacing. We recommend that the
filters are cleaned or replaced after 4-6 months of use or as required. Never use the
appliance if the bag is full or with no exhaust- or motor filter.
Replacing the Exhaust Filter
Used to filter exhaust air from the appliance. The appliance must not be used
if there is no exhaust filter fitted. The exhaust filter in this appliance is a highly
effective particle filter – a so-called HEPA filter.
• Remove the exhaust grille (f) by depressing the
release button (9) and pulling out the exhaust grille.
Remove the filter pad (e) from the inside of the grille
and replace or clean it as described under Cleaning
below.
• Remove the filter pad (d) from the appliance and
replace or clean it as described under Cleaning
below.
• Replace the filter in the exhaust hole. Replace the
filter pad in the exhaust grille and replace the grille.
Replacing Dust Bag
• Open the lid by pushing the opening handle (2) and
tilting the lid upwards.
• Lift out the dust bag holder (a) with the dust bag from
the appliance and carefully remove the dust bag from
the dust bag holder.
• Insert a new bag into the holder by inserting the
cardboard front into the guides on the holder and
press all the way down.
• Replace the dust bag holder in appliance.
• NOTE: The appliance as a device to prevent the lid
closing if the bag is not fitted or incorrectly fitted.
Replacing the Motor Filter
The motor filter protects the motor against dust and dirt. The appliance must not be
used if there is no motor filter fitted.
• Open the lid by pushing the opening handle and
tilting the lid upwards.
• Lift the dust bag holder with the dust bag from the
appliance.
• Pull out the holder for the motor filter (b) from the
guides.
• Clean or replace the filter pad (c) if necessary (see
section on Cleaning below).
• Press the filter pad into position in the holder to the motor filter and position it
by inserting the dowel at the top of the rear of the holder into the groove of the
appliance and pushing the holder gently downwards.
• Replace the dust bag holder.
STORAGE
• Before putting the appliance away, rewind the cord. Switch off at the socket,
unplug, and press the automatic cord rewind button (5) until the cord is fully
rewound.
o Hold the plug firmly while reeling the cord in to avoid it hitting the appliance
or other nearby objects.
• Store in a dry place. Do not place heavy objects on top of the appliance.
• You can park the floor nozzle in one of the parking brackets (on the back and
underside of the appliance).
• NOTE: Remove the batteries from the handle if the appliance is to be stored for
an extended period.
CLEANING
• Clean the appliance by wiping it with a damp cloth. A little detergent can be
added if the appliance is heavily soiled.
• Never use a scouring pad, steel wool or any form of strong solvents or abrasive
cleaning agents to clean the appliance, as those may damage the outside
surfaces of the appliance.
• Make sure all filters are kept clean (refer to Replacing filters and dust bag
above).
o Shake the exhaust filter and the two filter pads and beat them carefully to
remove dust and dirt.
o The exhaust filter and two filter pads can be carefully washed in warm water.
o Check they are completely dry before replacing in the appliance. NEVER
insert a wet filter into the appliance.
o Replace the exhaust filter and filter pads with the same type when worn or
cannot be cleaned properly.
