What can’t I vacuum up?
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to remove burning, glowing or smouldering particles such as hot
ash, charcoal, wood charcoal, cigarettes or similar. This may cause fires! Do not use the vacuum
cleaner to vacuum people, animals or plants. Do not vacuum any items of clothing currently
being worn on the body. Do not vacuum near the heads of individuals. These actions may result
in injuries. Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner (such as that found in printers or
photocopiers) or other explosive or highly flammable substances. This may cause explosions or
fires. Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum liquids, carpet cleaners or foam. This may result
in a short circuit within the appliance. Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum sharp, pointed
objects, such as shards of glass, rubble, drawing pins etc. This can damage the appliance. Do not
use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum fine dust such as stone dust, plaster, cement or similar
particulate matter. This clogs the filters and impairs the suction power.

When should you clean the vacuum cleaner’s motor protection and exhaust filters?
In the case of bagged vacuum cleaners, the motor protection filter is located directly behind the
dust bag and immediately in front of the motor. In the case of bagless vacuum cleaners, it is
usually part of the dust container. Check the motor protection filter each time you change the
dust bag or empty the dust container. This filter should be cleaned if visibly soiled. If it is made
of foam material, it can be rinsed thoroughly and must be left to dry completely afterwards. If it
is made of paper ribs (HEPA), it should not be cleaned with water or allowed to get wet. Instead,
brush it off thoroughly with a soft brush. The exhaust filter is located at the point where the
exhaust air leaves the appliance. This may be on the top, back or bottom of the appliance, or
even in one of the wheels. The exhaust filter does not require checking as frequently – when
unpleasant odours develop at the latest. In the event that you identify any soiling, the cleaning
procedure for the exhaust filter is identical to that of the motor protection filter: if it is made of
foam material, it can be rinsed thoroughly and must be left to dry completely afterwards. If it is
made of paper ribs (HEPA), it should not be cleaned with water or allowed to get wet. Instead,
brush it off thoroughly with a soft brush.
The red light on the vacuum cleaner is illuminated or a red stripe appears in the viewing window.
The dust bag requires changing, or the dust container needs emptying. Take this opportunity to
clean the filters at the same time. To do this, please consult the operating instructions and the
quick start guide.
The appliance suddenly stops vacuuming, what should I do?
