UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

Unpacking

Unpack the appliance and all its accessories.
Check that the contents are complete.

ATTENTION:
Always transport or ship the appliance in its original packaging to avoid damage. Keep the packaging for such an event.
Dispose of no longer needed packaging material according to the applicable regulations in your country or region.

Immediately contact your dealer if you find damage that has occurred during transport.

WARNING:
Make sure the appliance is disconnected from the mains supply before you assemble it. The appliance could be switched on by accident.

Assembly

Insert the end of the suction hose (Fig. 2/1) into the intake opening (Fig. 2/2) of the vacuum cleaner, until it locks with an audible click.
Insert the handle (Fig. 3/1) into the upper end of the telescopic tube (Fig. 3/2).
Attach the floor nozzle (Fig. 3/3) to the bottom end of the telescopic tube (Fig. 3/4). NOTE: It might be necessary to push firmly.
Adjust the length of the telescopic tube. Press down the release latch on the tube (Fig. 4/1) to do this. Then pull the handle of the telescopic tube to extend (Fig. 4/1) it to your desired length. Let go of the release catch while pulling until it locks in place.
You will hear a distinct click. Your vacuum cleaner is now ready for use.

Using other nozzles (accessories)

Besides the floor nozzle you just attached, you can fit other nozzles to your vacuum cleaner for different purposes.

The combi brush and the crevice nozzle are included in the package as accessories. You can store them in the accessory compartment when not in use (Fig. 5).

– Combi brush (Fig. 6/1)
Use this to remove dust from objects with delicate surfaces (e.g. cupboards and tables).
– Crevice nozzle (Fig. 6/2)
Use this to to suck dust out of hard-to-reach places.

WARNING:
Only attach nozzles when the vacuum cleaner is not connected to the mains supply. The appliance could be switched on by accident.
This is how you attach the nozzles:

1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and pull the plug from the mains socket.
2. Pull the attached nozzle off the telescopic tube.

ATTENTION:
Using the vacuum cleaner without a nozzle attached increases the danger of accidentally sucking in objects.
4. If possible, store nozzles that are not in use on the accessory bracket.

OPERATION

Vacuum cleaning

WARNING:
Check the vacuum cleaner and the power cord each time before use. A damaged appliance must not be used. There is danger of injury.
ATTENTION:
Only use the vacuum cleaner with all filters intact, in dry condition and correctly placed. Make sure that the openings of the vacuum cleaner are not clogged or obstructed. Otherwise the vacuum cleaner might be damaged.

NOTE:
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a safety switch to prevent overheating. It automatically cuts off the power supply if the motor overheats. If this happens, switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect it from the mains supply. Remove the cause of the overheating. Wait for about 45 minutes. After it has cooled off, you may use the vacuum cleaner again.

Attach the desired nozzle. See section 2.3, “Using other nozzles (accessories)”.
Pull out the power cord until the yellow marking is visible (Fig. 10/1). WARNING:
**** If the red marking shows (Fig. 10/2) retract the cord by pressing the retract button to rewind the cable (Fig. 11/2) back to the yellow mark. Otherwise the power cord could be damaged. There is danger of an electric shock.
Switch on the vacuum cleaner at the on/off switch (Fig.11/1).
Set the nozzle switch to “carpet” or “hard floor” to suit the floor (Fig. 12) you intend to clean:
– Hard floor (Fig 12/A), laminate, tiles, PVC, etc.
– Carpet (Fig 12/B)
When using the vacuum cleaner, pull it after you like a sleigh. Follow the respective recommendations of the flooring manufacturers. NOTE:
The bypass vent (Fig. 13/1) lets you quickly reduce the suction power if less power is needed, or to release objects accidentally sucked in.

Setting the suction power

You can adjust the suction power to suit the type of floor being cleaned. Use the symbols on the suction power display as a guide (Fig 14/1):
Curtains, textiles (lowest setting)

---|---
Cushions
High-quality carpets, rugs and runners
Slightly soiled carpets and hard floors
Heavily soiled carpets and hard floors with coarse dirt (highest setting)
Vacuum cleaner bag full

Switching off and retracting power cord

Switch off the vacuum cleaner at the on/off switch (Fig. 15/1) and pull the plug from the mains socket.
Keep the plug in your hand.
WARNING: During retraction the power cord can whip around, become an obstacle or knock over objects.
To retract the power cord, push the cord retracting button (Fig. 15/2).

MAINTENANC E

Replacing the dust filter bag

Replace the dust filter bag as soon as the electronic dust filter bag replacement indicator (Fig. 14/1) shows red or the suction power has decreased.
ATTENTION:
Before leaving the vacuum cleaner unattended, switch off the appliance and follow the instructions in section 3.3, “Switching off and retracting power cord”. Otherwise the appliance could be damaged.

Open the dust compartment cover by unlatching and raising it (Fig. 18).
Raise the dust compartment cover until it locks in the highest position and remains open by itself.
NOTE:
Take care when removing the dust filter bag so that no dust escapes.
Pull the dust filter bag up and out of the dust filter holder (Fig. 19).
Remove any dust that may have collected in the dust compartment.
NOTE:
You can dispose of the dust filter bag with your regular domestic waste if it contains no prohibited waste materials.
Fit the new dust filter bag into the filter bag holder.
Close the dust compartment cover. It clicks into place audibly.
NOTE:
The dust compartment cover can only be closed with a dust filter bag in place.

Replacing filters

Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with the following filters:

Motor protection filter (Fig. 20/1 ) Prevents larger particles from destroying the motor if the dust filter bag is defective. When to replace: Every time you open a new box of dust filter bags, as they always contain a new motor protection filter, but at least every 6 months.

Hygienic exhaust filter (Fig. 20/2) Removes microscopic particles from the exhaust air stream. When to replace: Every 6 months.
The filters can become clogged with time and reduce the appliance’s performance. This is why it is important to adhere to the above replacement intervals.
Damaged filters must be removed immediately. ATTENTION: These filters are washable.

NOTE: If the motor protection filter is only slightly dirty, it can help to beat out the dust over a dustbin. However, we recommend that you replace the motor protection filter each time you open a new box of dust filter bags.

Exhaust HEPA Filter Replacement

WARNING! Ensure that the cleaner is disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance procedures. The Exhaust HEPA filter is installed behind the air outlet grill. This filter is washable. When dust or dirt is visible on the surface of the HEPA filter, the filter should be replaced or washed with warm water to maintain optimal performance. It is recommended to replace the HEPA filter every 6 months or when it becomes visibly dirty.

This may vary depending on frequency of use. Please ensure all filters have been correctly installed into the machine before use.

Press the Exhaust Filter Release Button to access the Exhaust HEPA Filter.
Remove the filter by pulling on the filter tabs as shown.

Replacing the motor protection filter

Switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the dust filter bag as described in section 4.1, “Replacing the dust filter bag”, steps 1 through 4.
Remove the filter holder with motor protection filter (Fig. 22/1 ). First, flip the filter holder forwards, then pull the filter up and out.
Remove the motor protection filter (Fig. 23/1) from the filter holder (Fig. 23/2) over a dustbin.
Clean the filter holder.
If the new motor protection filter is too large, lay the the old filter onto the new filter mat. Mark the outline and cut the new filter down to size with a pair of scissors.
Insert the new motor protection filter into the filter holder.
Insert the filter holder with the new filter into its bracket from above and push it down until it audibly locks into place.
Replace the dust filter bag and close the dust compartment cover. The cover clicks into place audibly.
