Instructions for Use

Before using the machine make sure that the voltage shown on the rating plate underneath the machine corresponds with the mains voltage.

Start and Stop

Start
Pull out the electric cable and plug the machine to a wall socket. Press the on/off button and adjust the power level.

Stop
Turn off the machine and unplug. Unplug by grasping the plug, not by pulling at the cable. Activate the cable rewinder.

Connecting hose, tube and nozzles

Insert the hose connector into the suction inlet.
Connect the bent tube to the tube.
Connect the tube to the nozzle.
The tube is telescopic and can be adjusted to your height. Push the adjusting button to extend the tube and pull back to shorten to the desired length.

Container full indication
On the control panel a lamp is placed, where you will receive a notification when the container is full or the suction is degraded otherwise. The dust container must be emptied if the lamp is constantly on when the machine is operating at maximum power and the nozzle is raised from the floor.

Releasing and emptying of the dust container
The dust container can be separated from the machine for emptying. Simply release the dust container from the machine by pressing the buttons on the dust container handle (see illustration below) and pull the dust container upwards. The dust container can now be emptied in a dustbin, by pressing the lever marked “Push”.

Cleaning the cyclone filter
The cyclone filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain suction. You will have access to the cyclone filter when you have released the dust container. If necessary, use lukewarm water. Make sure to let the filter dry before putting it back into the vacuum cleaner.

Changing the exhaust filter
Open the cover for the exhaust filter, as seen in the overview image (page 2), replace the filter with a new one and close the cover again.

Washing/exchanging the HEPA filter
You will have access to the HEPA filter when you have released the dust container. Rinse the inside of the filter using lukewarm tap water. Do not use any cleaning agents and avoid touching the filter surface. Tap the filter to remove the excess water. Make sure to let the filter dry before putting it back into the vacuum cleaner. If necessary, exchange the filter. Please note that the machine will not function without a HEPA filter.

Parking the tube and nozzle
There are two grooves for parking. One located on the underside to use when machine stands on the back, and the other on the back to use when the machine is standing on the wheels.

Thermal fuse
The machine is fitted with a thermal fuse, which prevents the machine from overheating. If the thermal fuse blows, the machine automatically switches off the motor and must cool before it can be started again.

Restart

Turn off the machine and unplug from the wall socket.
Make sure that nothing blocks the air flow through the bent tube, hose, tube, nozzle or filters.
Let the machine cool.
Plug in the machine again and push the start button. The machine will not start until cool enough. If the machine does not start turn it off and unplug. Try again in a while.
