• Children or persons who cannot assess the risks may not use the appliance. Store it so it is inaccessible.
• Packing material must not be used to play with. There is a danger of suffocation.

Regarding intended use

• Only use the cylinder vacuum cleaner for cleaning normally dirty floors, carpets, and curtains. Any other use is considered non-intended use and is prohibited.

The following is prohibited in particular:

Do not vacuum:

• * hair, fingers, and other body parts. They could be pulled in and injured.

  • pieces of clothing (e. g. shoelaces, scarves, etc.). They could be pulled right in and cause severe injuries.
  • water and other fluids, especially damp carpet cleaning agents. Internal dampness can lead to a short circuit.
  • toner (for laser printers, copy machines, etc.). There is a risk of fire and explosion.
  • hot ash, burning cigarettes or matches. These can cause a fire.
  •  pointed objects such as glass fragments, nails, etc. These objects destroy the filter.

Unpacking and connecting

Unpacking

1. Unpack the appliance and all accessory parts.
2. Check the contents are all there. Information regarding the scope of delivery, “An overview of your Centrino XL”.
   ATTENTION: Always transport/send the appliance in its original packaging so that it does not become damaged. Keep the packing material for this purpose.
   Dispose of any packing material that is no longer required under the provisions applicable in your country.
   NOTE: If you should notice damage due to transport, then contact your dealer immediately.

Assembly

WARNING: Only assemble the appliance if the plug has been pulled out of the socket. It could be switched on by accident.

Push the end of the suction hose (Fig. 2/1) into the receiver point (Fig. 2/2) of the cylinder vacuum cleaner until the lock audibly clicks into place. Make sure that the release button (Fig. 2/3) points to the right as illustrated.

1. Push the handle (Fig. 3/1) into the upper end of the telescopic tube (Fig. 3/2).

2. Push the floor nozzle (Fig. 3/3) onto the lower end of the telescopic tube (Fig. 3/4).
   NOTE: It may be necessary to push a bit harder.

3. Then push the furniture brush (Fig. 4/2) and the crevice nozzle (Fig. 4/3) with the upholstery nozzle (Fig. 4/1) onto the holders.

4. Adjust the length of the telescopic tube. To do this, push the telescopic tube lock (Fig. 4/4) downwards. Then pull the telescopic tube to the desired length. To lock it, release the telescopic tube lock when you let go. You will hear an audible click.

Your cylinder vacuum cleaner is now ready to use.

Using other nozzles (accessories

• Together with the floor nozzle just assembled, you can expand the range of functions with other nozzles.
  Crevice nozzle, furniture brush, and upholstery nozzle are included as accessories in the scope of delivery.

• They can be secured to the accessories mount (Fig. 4).

  • Crevice nozzle (Fig. 5/1) Use this to vacuum dust from hard-to-reach places.
  • Furniture brush (Fig. 5/2) Use these to vacuum dust off objects with sensitive surfaces, while simultaneously brushing them.
  • Upholstery nozzle (Fig. 5/3) Use this to clean soft, scratch-resistant surfaces (e.g. upholstered furniture).Also available as an option are the following:
    Turbo brush (Fig. 6)
    This has a rotating brush head and is therefore most suitable for deep- cleaning carpets. Brushing also causes the carpet pile to straighten up.
    NOTE: When using the turbo brush, a loud noise can occur as a result of the high speed of the brush. This is normal.
    Parquet brush (Fig. 7)
    This is equipped with long bristles and is used for vacuuming particularly sensitive surfaces (e.g. parquet, laminate flooring).

WARNING: Only assemble the nozzles if the plug has been removed from the socket. The vacuum cleaner could be switched on by accident.

Proceed as follows to attach the nozzles:

1. Switch the appliance off and pull the plug out of the socket.

2. Remove the existing nozzle from the telescopic tube.

3. Push the desired nozzle on the lower end of the telescopic tube (Fig. 8) or if necessary directly onto the handle (Fig. 9).
   ATTENTION: If you use the cylinder vacuum cleaner without attached nozzles, there is a greater risk of accidentally vacuuming up objects.

4. Secure the nozzles no longer required in the accessories mount, as far as this is possible (Fig. 4). Keep the other nozzles safe and inaccessible to children.

Operating

• WARNING: Check the cylinder vacuum cleaner and the power cable before each use. A damaged appliance must never be used. There is a risk of injury!
• ATTENTION: Only use the cylinder vacuum cleaner if all the filters are intact, dry, and inserted correctly. Make sure that none of the openings are blocked.
• NOTE: Your cylinder vacuum cleaner has an overheating protection device. It turns off automatically if it overheats. If this happens, then turn off the cylinder vacuum cleaner and remove the plug. Remove the cause of overheating. Wait approx. 45 min before switching it on again

1. Push on the desired nozzle,”Using other nozzles (accessories)”.

2. Remove the cable, by holding the plug, until the yellow mark is reached (Fig. 10/1).
   WARNING: If the red mark (Fig. 10/2) is visible, use the cable retract button (Fig. 10/3) to draw in the cable again up to the yellow mark. Otherwise, the cable can break off. There is a risk of electric shock!

3. Switch on the cylinder vacuum cleaner using the on/off switch (Fig. 10/4).

5. Turn on the suction power using the suction controller (Fig. 10/5).

6. To vacuum, pull the cylinder vacuum cleaner behind you like a sled. Observe the corresponding recommendations of the flooring manufacturer
   NOTE: You can quickly reduce the suction power with the secondary air controller (Fig. 12/1), e. g. to release objects that have been sucked in .

Setting aside and storage

• When setting the appliance aside or during work breaks, you can hook the parking hook (Fig. 14/1) for the floor nozzle into the parking hook mount (Fig. 14/2). Beforehand, you must lower the telescopic tube completely.
  WARNING:
  Before you leave the workplace, switch off the appliance and remove the mains plug.

• For storage, you can hook the stow-away hook (Fig. 15/1) of the telescopic tube into the stow-away hook mount (Fig. 15/2) below on the cylinder vacuum cleaner
  ATTENTION: Never position the appliance directly against heat sources (e. g. heating, oven). Avoid direct sunlight. Heat can damage the appliance.

• If you want to store the appliance for a longer period, empty the dust container and clean it as well as the filters. Always store the appliance in a cool and dry place.

• Empty the dust container at the latest when the dust container level indicator (Fig. 1/18) lights up, the “Max” mark (Fig. 16/3) has been reached, or when it is losing suction power.

Emptying the dust container
Empty the dust container at the latest when the dust container level indicator (Fig. 1/18) lights up, the “Max” mark (Fig. 16/3) has been reached, or when it is losing suction power.

ATTENTION: Before you clean the dust container, switch off the appliance and remove the mains plug. Otherwise, vacuumed in dust will continue to destroy the appliance.

NOTE:
The locking button (Fig. 16/2) in the handle prevents unintentional release of the dust container when lifting the appliance. If you want to remove the dust container, make sure that the locking button is not pressed in.

• Protective motor filter (Fig. 18/2)
  Clean: every 2 months

• Hygienic blow-out filter (Fig. 18/3)
  Replace: every 6 months

• The filters can become blocked after some time and can thereby reduce the suction power. It is therefore important that the abovementioned intervals are adhered to.
