-
Protect the stick vacuum cleaner from moisture and do not place in the proximity of heat sources.
Do not operate the cleaner with wet hands or feet! The stick vacuum cleaner may only be used on dry floor coverings. lt is not appropriate for removal of fluids or wet dust by suction. That may lead to serious malfunctioning. In addition, it may affect the protection against electrical shock. The same applies to shampooed or spray extracted carpet -
Caution! Do not suck up any glowing or hot, inflammable or explosive substances resp. gas. Do not suck in an environment of explosive substances or inflammable gas.
-
Attention! Do not suck up toner dust. Toner, that is used in printers or copying machines can be electrically conductive. The filter system is not able to filter out any fine dust completely. lt can get into the indoor air by the motor cooling fan.

Avoid sucking hard or sharp parts (like larger glass splinters), as they can damage the appliance or the filter bag.
-
Do not use the cleaner without filter bag and motor protection filter.

Check or change the filter bag from time to time. At the same time, please also check and change the motor protection filter. A full filter bag or a clogged motor protection filter reduces the suction power and may cause overheating the appliance.

ACCESSORIES
Universal nozzle switchable
The switchable universal nozzle with wheels is used for cleaning carpets,
carpeting and hard floors like stone, parquet or PVC with suction. For hard
floors please use the nozzle with extended brush strip, for carpets and
carpeting with retracted brush rim.
Upholstery nozzle
Use for cleaning upholsteries, mattresses, curtains and other sensitive
textiles. The thread lifter takes up threads and lint better.
Crevice nozzle
Use for crevices, corners and narrow gaps that you cannot clean with other
nozzles.
Permanent filter
The textile permanent filter can be used in place of dust bags to be disposed
of in household waste. It can be opened and emptied at the bottom (Velcro
fastener). The permanent filter is washable. Danger! Do not use a wet or damp
permanent filter into the handheld vacuum cleaner.
OPERATION
- To connect the long tube with the handle and the stick vacuum cleaner press down the catch on the tube and put it together with the handle until it is locked. Press down
- the catch at the other end of the tube and lock it with the connection port of the stick vacuum cleaner.
- Proceed as described above to connect the short tube with the desired accessories in the same way.
- To separate the parts, press down the catch and pull out the tube or the handle resp. the accessory slightly twisting.
- When cleaning under furniture and areas that are very difficult to access, we recommend connecting the long tube with the nozzle and the short tube with the handle.
Power on/off
By operating the on/off switch the stick vacuum cleaner will be switched on.
Mechanical suction power (Contur Basic)
The mechanical suction power with controller is on the short tube.
Controller closed = full suction power
Controller opened = reduced suction power
Electronic suction powe r (Contur Plus)
The suction power of the vacuum cleaner can be adapted to the type of material
of the cleaning area by electronic suction power. Set the maximum suction
power by turning the dial switch (according to the increasing arrow). The
opposite direction is to reduce the suction power continuously. With an
average setting you can clean normally soiled carpets or smooth floors energy-
saving
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Before any maintance please pull out the mains plug from the socket!
Changing the filter bag
-
Press lock slightly, open the cleaner and take out the dusk container with filter bag.
-
Push filter bag from snapper or filter cartridge
-
To insert the filter bag slide-in the cardboard disc of the filter onto the filter holder in direction of the arrow and push the filter tightly down. lt is essential to observe the correct placement of the cardboard disc.
Bending the cardboard disc can lead to leaks and results in a polluted dust container and motor protection filter (Change of motor protection filter is necessary! -
Changing the motor protection filter Open cleaner and pull off the soiled motor protection filter from the frame. Put and press on the new motor protection filter (automatic grip).
Then insert a new motor protection filter and the filter holder in reverse order.
Attention! Please change the motor protection filter after every 10th time the filterbag is changed.
Cleaning the stick vacuum cleaner
The plastic housing can be wiped with a damp cloth and then dried. For stubborn dirt use a gentle cleaner (e.g. washing-up liquid). Do not use scouring powder or organic solvents. To avoid soilings due to electrostatic charge of the appliance or accessories we recommend spraying it lightly with commercially available antistatic spray.
Cleaning the accessories
We recommend vacuuming the bottom of the universal nozzle and of the upholstery nozzle by the crevice nozzle.
DISTURBANCES
lf there are further electrical devices with a high connection value connected
to the same circuit it is possible that the fuse responds. You can avoid that
by first adjusting the dial to minimum and regulate later after switch on the
stick vacuum cleaner.
lf the suction power of your stick vacuum cleaner degreases, please check if:
- The filter has tobe changed.
- The motor protection filter has to be renewed.
- The nozzle resp. the tube is clogged.
The electronic suction power switch is still on the lowest level „min“. In case of overload the motor-overheating protection of the appliance switches off automatically. (e.g. as a result of full filter bag, clogged filters or accessories.) lf this is the case: turn off the stick vacuum cleaner and pull out mains plug. Remove the cause of the error. Circa 30 minutes later you can put it into operation again
