Installation and connection
Assembling the vacuum cleaner
(Figs. 01 + 02)
You can assemble the vacuum cleaner
in 2 different ways.
 You can place the suction wand ei-
ther 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 vac-
uum 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 furni-
ture
– PowerUnit can be removed quickly
Using the PowerUnit solo
The PowerUnit can be used on its own
without the suction wand and Electro-
brush as a quick way of vacuuming up
crumbs and lint in specific areas.
Tip: This configuration is particularly
suitable when using the three-piece ac-
cessory set (see “Using the accessories
supplied”).
Connecting the Comfort handle
(Figs. 03 + 04)
Depending on how you decide to con-
figure your vacuum cleaner, you can
connect the Comfort handle to either
the suction wand or the PowerUnit.

Push the Comfort handle down on to
the suction wand connection from
above until it audibly clicks into place
(left image detail).

Slide the Comfort handle along the
guide line on the dust container han-
dle and down on to the PowerUnit
connector from above until it audibly
clicks into place (right image detail).

Switch off the vacuum cleaner using
the On/Off switch on the front of the
Comfort handle if you want to sepa-
rate the sections.
 Press the release catch and remove
the Comfort handle by pulling up-
ward.
Connecting the PowerUnit and the
suction wand (Figs. 05 + 06)
Depending on how your vacuum
cleaner is configured, the suction wand
is located either above or below the
PowerUnit.
 Slide the suction wand along the
guide line on the dust container han-
dle and down on to the PowerUnit
connector from above until it audibly
clicks into place (left image detail).
