- Make sure that the device is not connected to the power supply before you attach or remove any accessories.
- Unpack all parts and make sure that the scope of delivery is complete (see chapter “Product contents and device overview”) and check for any damages from transport. If you identify damages to the components, do not use them. Instead contact our customer service centre.
- If necessary, remove any piece of paper or sticker etc. from the dust bin. In chapter “Cleaning the Device” you will find instructions on how to remove and open the dust bin.
Inserting/removing the hose
- Insert the suction hose connector into the suction opening on device (see arrow). It must audibly lock into place.
- To remove the suction hose push the knob on the connector and pull the suction hose out.
Inserting/removing the telescoping tube
-
Insert the open end of the handle into the corresponding opening on the telescoping tube.
In the process, turn the handle back and forth somewhat. Check to make sure that the connection is secure. -
To remove the telescoping tube pull it off of the handle.
Adjusting the length of the telescoping tube
- Push the slider on the telescoping tube down and set the desired length.
- Release the slider and move the tube forward until it locks into place.
Mounting/removing suction nozzles
- Insert the open end of the telescoping tube in one of the enclosed suction nozzles up to the stop. Turn the nozzle back and forth slightly in the process.
- The suction nozzles can also be attached directly to the suction hose without the telescoping tube for more flexibility.
- To remove a suction nozzle pull it off
Removing/inserting the dust bin
- Removal: Push the release button on the dust bin and take it out of the device by the handle.
- Insertion: Take the dust bin by the handle and first place the bottom of the bin in the device (the bottom is facing down and handle is facing up). Then push the handle against the device housing until the dust bin audibly locks into place. Hold the device by the handle and lift it to check whether the dust bin is properly seated.
Operation
ATTENTION!
- During use, always keep the nozzles away from body parts and animals and do not reach into them. You could be caught or injured. If something does get caught in the vacuum cleaner, turn it off immediately (depress the On/Off switch).
- Only turn on the vacuum cleaner once you are sure that all parts have been completely mounted and that the dust bin, dust filter and the exhaust filter have been properly inserted.
- To prevent the cord from becoming too hot when in use, pull at least two thirds of its entire length out of the device before you switch on the vacuum cleaner. Do not forcefully pull out the cord up to the stop point (no further than up to the red mark on the cord) in order to prevent damage!
- Always turn off the device first and pull the mains plug out of the socket before you change a nozzle or attach or remove other accessories!
- Do not in any circumstances vacuum up the following:
- Liquids or wet materials (such as wet carpet shampoo)
- smouldering ashes, cigarette butts, matches etc.
- flammable or ignitable materials
- very fine dust (e.g. cement dust), ash or toner
- hard, pointy objects such as bigger glass shards
- Make sure that the respective accessory is properly mounted on the device (see chapter “Assembly”).
- Pull the mains cord only as far out of the housing as you need, ideally up to the yellow mark, but no further than up to the red mark on the cord!
- Insert the mains plug in a properly installed socket that is easily accessible.
- Press the On/Off switch to turn the vacuum cleaner on.
- You can individually adjust the suction power with the suction power control.
- Move the nozzle over the surface you want to clean. You can pull the vacuum cleaner like a sled when vacuum cleaning.
- After vacuum cleaning, press the On/Off switch again to turn off the vacuum cleaner.
- Pull the mains plug out of the socket, firmly hold the mains cord and push the button for the cord winder down with your foot. By holding the mains cord, you prevent the cord from “lashing” against your legs for example.
- If you used the floor nozzle, hook it into the bracket on the back of the device.
- To ensure optimum performance of the device, empty the dust bin each time after using the device and clean the dust filter and exhaust filter regularly (see chapter “Cleaning the device”).
Tip:
- An auxiliary air valve is located on the handle. Slide the cover to open it, thereby reducing the suction power if you want to vacuum off cushions, carpets or light-weight, moveable objects or materials. Normally, the auxiliary air valve is closed so as not to unnecessarily reduce the suction power.
Cleaning the device
ATTENTION!
- Empty the dust bin when it is full and clean the filters regularly to avoid overheating the motor.
- Before cleaning the device, always pull the power plug out of the socket.
- Keep the device, cord and mains plug away from water or other liquids in order to avoid electrical shocks. When cleaning, make sure that no liquid penetrates the device. Only the foam dust filter, plastic dust filter, micro filter and exhaust filter may be cleaned with water. However, they must be completely dry when being placed back in the device.
- The filters are not suitable for the washing machine, dishwasher or dryer! Only air dry the filters and do not in any circumstances use a hair dryer.
- Do not use any scouring or abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads for cleaning. They could damage the surface.
- Clean the dust filter and exhaust filter regularly or if you notice that the suction power is declining.
- If needed, clean the housing with a damp, soft cloth. Then dry it with a soft cloth.
- Regularly remove hairs and lint from the nozzles. The filters may discolour over time. This is normal and does not affect functionality.
