If you want to store the appliance for a prolonged period, remove the
dust filter bag
Z
Chapter 5.1, ‘Changing the dust filter bag’
and dispose of
it properly. Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of chil-
dren.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Check appliance and power cord before each use. A
damaged appliance must never be used.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Especially when vacuum-cleaning stairs make sure
that you always stand on a higher level than the appliance.
ATTENTION:
Only use the cylinder vacuum cleaner when all filters are intact, dry and
correctly fitted. Make sure that no objects obstruct the tube, the suction
hose or other openings.
ATTENTION:
Before vacuuming, make sure that the fitted nozzle suits the surface to
be cleaned. Also observe the flooring manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
NOTE:
Your cylinder vacuum cleaner is equipped with a safety switch to prevent
overheating. It will switch off automatically if overheated (e.g. due to
clogged suction channels).
If this happens, switch off the appliance, pull the plug, remove the cause
of the overheating (z. B. remove blockage) and then wait about 45 min-
utes. After the appliance has cooled off, you may switch it on again.

WARNING:
Danger of electric shock! If the red marking (Fig. 6/2) shows, press the
cord retracting button (Fig. 6/3) to pull in the cord up to the yellow mark
(Fig. 6/1). Otherwise, the power cord may be damaged.
NOTE:
In normal situations the bypass vent (Fig. 6/6) must be completely
closed. With the bypass vent you can quickly reduce the suction power,
e.g. to release curtains that have accidentally been sucked in.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! During uncontrolled retraction, the power cord can whip
around, become a tripping hazard or knock over objects. Therefore,
keep the plug in your hand and guide the cord when retracting it.
