Controlling the suction power

F or vacuuming durable ﬂoor coverings, hard ﬂoors, and very dirty ﬂoors.
The suction power can also be adjusted by sliding the auxiliary air control switch in the direction of the arrow.

Auxiliary air control switch open => suction power reduced
Auxiliary air control switch closed => maximum suction power

Vacuum-cleaning

Please note Floor nozzles are subject to a certain amount of wear, depending on the type of hard ﬂoors you have (e.g. rough, rustic tiles). You should therefore check the underside of the ﬂoor nozzles at regular intervals. Worn undersides of ﬂoor nozzles may have sharp edges that can damage delicate hard ﬂoors, such as parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage caused by worn ﬂoor nozzles.
Set the switchable ﬂoor nozzle as follows:

Rugs and carpets =>
Hard ﬂoors/parquet =>

If you are vacuuming up relatively large particles, make sure that you vacuum them up successively and carefully to ensure that the ﬂoor nozzle’s air intake duct does not become blocked.
If necessary, you should lift up the nozzle in order to better vacuum up the dirt particles.

Vacuuming with accessories
Attach the nozzles to the suction pipe or handle as required:

Crevice nozzle for vacuuming crevices and corners, etc.
Furniture brush for vacuum-cleaning window frames, cupboards, etc.
To use the furniture brush, turn the accessory round so that the bristles are at the bottom
Hard-ﬂoor nozzle for vacuuming hard ﬂoor coverings (tiles, parquet ﬂooring, etc.)
You can use the stand on the rear of the appliance if you wish to stop vacuuming for a short time.
After switching off the appliance, slide the hook on the ﬂoor nozzle into the stand.
When vacuuming stairs, the appliance must be positioned at the bottom of the stairs. If it does not reach far enough, the appliance can also be carried using the carrying handle.

After vacuuming

Switch off the appliance.
Unplug the mains plug.
Press the cable rewind button to reel in the cable.
Release the telescopic tube by moving the sliding switch in the direction of the arrow, and slide one tube into the other.
To pack the appliance away, pull the handle out of the telescopic tube
Slot the adapter into the stand on the rear of the appliance.
Coil the suction hose around the appliance and secure it in the bottom clamp in the hose clip.

Finally, release the suction adapter, pull it out of the appliance and clip it onto the handle

Cleaning and care

Emptying the dust container
In order to achieve the best possible vacuuming results, the dust container should be emptied after every use or, at the latest, when dust at one point in the container has reached the mark.

Maintaining the dust-separation system
