Figure 8 Controlling the suction level

The required suction level can be set to any level by turning the control knob. Low power range => For vacuuming delicate materials, such as delicate upholstery, curtains, etc. Medium power range => For daily vacuuming of floors which are only slightly dirty. High power range => For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors and heavy deposits of dirt.

Caution ! Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of wear, depending on the type of hard floors you have (e.g. rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you must check the underside of the floor tool at regular intervals. Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp edges that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage caused by worn floor tools.

Set the adjustable floor tool: Rugs and carpets

If you are vacuuming up larger particles, make sure that you vacuum them up successively and carefully to ensure that the vacuum channels of the floor tool do not become blocked.

If necessary, you should raise the nozzle in order to better vacuum up the dirt particles.

Emptying the dust container Figure 17 In order to achieve good vacuuming results, the dust container should be emptied after every use or, at the latest, when dust or dirt has visibly collected on the fluff filter or when dust at one point in the container has reached the height of the marking. When emptying the dust container, always check how dirty the fluff filter is and, if necessary, clean it as detailed in the "Cleaning the fluff filter" instructions. Figure

Cleaning the plate filter Your appliance is equipped with a "Sensor Control" Function. Figure 21* + Figure 23* . This function constantly monitors whether your vacuum cleaner is reaching its optimum power level. The indicator light lets you know when you need to clean the plate filter, so that the vacuum cleaner can reach its optimum power level once more. 10

Vacuum cleaner with “RotationClean” function

Figure 21* The indicator lights up blue when the appliance is working at its optimum level. Once the indicator turns red and flashes, the plate filter must be cleaned. The appliance is automatically adjusted back to the lowest power setting. Figure 22* ● Switch the appliance off in order to clean the plate filter. the filter can only be cleaned if the applian! Caution: ce is switched off. ● Open the appliance lid by pulling the locking tab. ● To clean the plate filter, turn the knob at least three turns through 180°.

You can also clean the filter if the suction is becoming less powerful, even if the indicator has not lit up. We recommend that you clean the plate filter each time before emptying the dust container. It must be cleaned at the latest when the “Sensor Control” indicator lights up.

If the indicator flashes three times in quick succession, even though the plate filter is clean, this is probably due to a dirty fluff filter or a blockage. In this case, the appliance automatically adjusts to the lowest power setting and the indicator lights up red permanently. ● Switch the appliance off, empty the dust container and clean the fluff filter according to the instructions in "Cleaning the fluff filter". Figure 26 Vacuum cleaner with “SelfClean” function Figure 23* The indicator lights up blue when the appliance is working at its optimum level. Once the indicator turns red and flashes, the appliance switches off automatically Filter cleaning is activated and performed by the integrated cleaning motor. If the appliance cleans three times in quick succession, this is probably due to a dirty fluff filter or a blockage. In this case, the appliance automatically adjusts to the lowest power setting and the indicator lights up red. ● Switch the appliance off, empty the dust container and clean the fluff filter according to the instructions in "Cleaning the fluff filter". Figure 26 Figure 24* If required, you can also activate the cleaning procedure manually by pressing the "Clean" filter cleaning button when the appliance is switched on. If suction power is reducing, you can also clean the filter even if the indicator has not lit up. We recommend that you clean the plate filter each time before emptying the dust container.

If the plate filter is particularly dirty, the dirt can also be washed off. a)Turn the bottom part of the filter unit anticlockwise as far as it will go. Take the plate filter out of the filter unit. b)Wash the plate filter under running water. c) When it has dried completely, insert the plate filter into the filter unit and lock the bottom part by turning it clockwise. Under normal circumstances, and when vacuuming normal household dust, the plate filter does not need to be removed or cleaned manually in order to achieve the vacuum cleaner's optimum power level.

! Caution: do not brush the plate filter.

● For simple cleaning without water, simply tap the filter around the edge of the cap. ● For more thorough cleaning, rinse the filter from the outside with water, and allow it to dry completely before using it in the vacuum cleaner again.

Cleaning the fluff filter

The fluff filter should be cleaned at regular intervals in order to ensure optimum operation of the vacuum cleaner. Figure 26 ● Open the appliance lid and remove the dust container from the appliance. Figure 18 a)Take the filter unit out of the dust container. b) Clean the fluff filter. ● It is usually sufficient to lightly shake or tap out the filter housing when the dust container is emptied to dislodge any particles of dirt. ● If this is not sufficient, you can use the brush which is supplied with the appliance or a dry cloth to remove dirt particles from the surface. ● If you want to wash the fluff filter, you must first remove the plate filter from the filter unit. The plate filter must only be reinserted into the filter unit after the fluff filter has completely dried. Cleaning the motor protection filter The motor protection filter should be cleaned regularly by knocking out the dirt and rinsing.

To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its optimum power level, the exhaust filter should be replaced after 1 year. The filtering action of the filter remains intact, even if the filter surface becomes discoloured.
