Operation
* Never hold the nozzles close to parts of your body during use and do not place your hands inside the
nozzles. They could become stuck to the device/injured. If the vacuum cleaner becomes fi rmly attached due
to suction, turn it off immediately (press down the On / Off switch).
* Keep the nozzles away from animals during operation. Never attempt to vacuum animals using the device.
They could become stuck to the device/injured. If the vacuum cleaner becomes fi rmly attached due to
suction, turn it off immediately (press down the On / Off switch).
* Switch on the vacuum cleaner only when you have checked that all parts have been properly assembled
and that the dust container and all fi lters have been inserted correctly.
* To ensure that the cable does not become hot during operation, pull out at least two thirds of its total
length from the device before you switch on the vacuum cleaner. Do not pull out the cable with force up to
its maximum length (not further than the red marking on the cable) in order to prevent damage!
* Always switch the device off fi rst and remove the mains plug from the mains socket before replacing a
nozzle or attaching or removing any accessories.
* On no account should the device be used to suck up the following:
– Liquids or wet substances (e.g. wet carpet shampoo)
– Glowing ash, cigarette ends, matches, etc.
– Infl ammable or explosive substances
– Very fi ne dust (e.g. concrete dust), ash or toner
– Pointed, hard objects such as large pieces of broken glass
1. Make sure that the accessories are attached correctly to the device (see the „Assembly“ chapter).
2. Pull the mains cable out of the unit as far as you require, ideally up to the yellow marking, but not further
than the red marking on the cable!
3. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed mains socket that is easily accessible.
4. Press the On/Off switch down to switch on the vacuum cleaner.
5. Guide the nozzle over the surface to be cleaned. The vacuum cleaner can be pulled along like a sledge
during cleaning.
6. Press the On/Off switch down again after you have fi nished vacuum cleaning to switch off the vacuum
cleaner.
7. Pull the mains plug out of the socket, hold the mains cable fi rmly and using your foot, depress the button
to retract the cable. Holding the mains cable prevents any „whiplash“ effect of the cable, e.g. against your
legs.
8. Once you have used the fl oor nozzle, hook it into the bracket on the back of the device.
9. To ensure optimum performance of the device, you should empty the dust container and clean all dust fi
lters regularly (see the „Cleaning the Device“ chapter) after every use.
Tip
:The handle is equipped with an exhaust air
valve. Open this valve (by sliding the cover) to
reduce the suction force when cleaning upholstery
or rugs or light, movable objects.
Normally the exhaust air valve should be closed to
prevent the unnecessary reduction of the suction
force.
