Installation and connection
Assembling the vacuum
cleaner (Fig. 01)
You can assemble the vacuum cleaner
in 2 different ways.
 You can place the suction tube either
above or below the PowerUnit.
Take care to assemble the vacuum
cleaner exactly as shown in the dia-
gram.
The advantages of placing the
PowerUnit at the bottom of the va-
cuum cleaner are as follows:
- Secure self-standing function possible
(see “Use – Self-standing function for
short pauses in vacuuming”)
- Ergonomic (reduced strain on the
wrist)
- Convenient cleaning of large surfaces
The advantages of placing the
PowerUnit at the top of the vacuum
cleaner are as follows:
– Convenient cleaning underneath fur-
niture
– PowerUnit can be removed quickly
Using the PowerUnit solo (Fig. 02)
The PowerUnit can be used on its own
(PowerUnit solo) without the suction
tube and Electrobrush as a quick way
of vacuuming up crumbs and fluff in
specific areas.
Tip: This configuration is particularly
suitable when using the 3-piece ac-
cessory set (see “Using the accessories
supplied”).
Connecting the Comfort handle

Depending on how you decide to con-
figure your vacuum cleaner, you can

the suction tube or the PowerUnit.




Switch off the vacuum cleaner using
the On/Off switch on the front of the
Comfort handle if you want to separ-
ate the sections.
 Press the release catch and remove
the Comfort handle by pulling it up-
wards (Fig. 04).
Connecting the PowerUnit and the
suction tube (Fig. 05)
Depending on how you decide to con-
figure your vacuum cleaner, the suction
tube is located either above or below

line on the dust container handle and
