What is Microban?

Microban® is odourless, colourless and tasteless.

Microban® inhibits the growth of micro-organisms by permeating the cell walls and destroying the micro-organism cells. These cells are then no longer able to reproduce and growth is prohibited.

Grundig offers an effective way to clean hygienically with the impressive technology from Microban®. The Grundig dust filter is equipped with the integrated Microban® hygiene protection.

This inhibits the spread of even tiny microscopic particles including house mites, pollen and dust.

Dangerous bacteria can barely survive with the integrated Microban® hygiene protection in the container and filter.

Microban technology has been tested in independent laboratories and certified, thus making a significant contribution towards a healthier household.

Setting up

Your appliance is supplied with a fitted dust container. Once you have assembled the individual parts, the appliance is ready to operate.

1 Insert the contact of the flexible hose into the socket on the dust container until it latches in.

Note

To remove the flexible hose, press the catch on the top of the contact and pull it out.
2 Plug in both suction tubes firmly with A and B by turning slightly.

3 At the top of the suction tube, insert the grip of the suction hose onto the lower end of the floor brush.

4 Press and turn all the plug connectors to plug in and release again by pulling and turning.

Switching on and off

Pull out the power cord to the length you require.

Caution

A yellow marking appears at the end of the cord. A red marking shows the maximum cord length.

Never attempt to pull out the power cord beyond the red marking.

2 Plug the power cord into the wall socket.
3 Press the button to switch on the appliance.

4 Set the suction power with switch F.

5 After use, switch off the appliance with the G button and disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.

Caution

Always disconnect the power cord if the appliance is not being used.

Suction control

A suction control is located on the handle B, which you can operate with your thumb. If the control is fully closed, the maximum suction power is reached.

However, in some cases such as when cleaning material or upholstery, it is advisable to have less suction power. Open the control if and when required.

Retracting the power cord

1 Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall socket.
2 Hold the power cord in one hand and press and hold down the E button.
3 Guide the power cord carefully into the appliance.

Caution

Always retract the power cord carefully, as pressing fully on the E button and retracting it very quickly can cause unpredictable cable movements.

Cleaning the dust container

1 Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall socket.
2 Remove the flexible hose c from the socket on the dust container.
3 Take the dust container out by pressing on the catch and pull up the dust container with the handle.

4 Open the catch flap on the dust container over a dustbin by pressing the PUSH< button under the HEPA filter on the dust container.

5 Close the dust container by shutting the catch flap until it latches in.

Note

• You can clean the inside of the dust container with a damp cloth. Ensure the dust container is completely dry before putting it back in.

Note

• Check the appliance works after cleaning the dust container. If the suction power is still inadequate, the attachment tools, tubes or filter could be blocked (see the following section).

Caution

• Never operate the appliance without the dust container.

Removing blockages

1 Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall socket.
2 Check the following parts for blockages:

• The contact on the flexible hose C.
• The contact between the flexible hose and the handle B.
• The contact between the telescopic suction tube and the floor brush or other attachments.

Note

If you have not found the blockage, it might be at the end of the handle in the connecting piece. Disconnect the handle for the tool and release the locking hooks using a flat screwdriver or something similar. Dismantle the parts and remove any dirt. Reassemble the parts so that the locking hooks latch in.

Cleaning or replacing the filter

Caution

The dust container and filter must be fitted before use, otherwise this could damage the motor.

The dust container

1 Take out the dust container by pressing on the catch K and pull it out with the handle.
2 Remove the holder for the air inlet filter.

3 Remove the filter from the holder.

4 Shake the filter vigorously, then clean it in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and leave it to dry.

Caution

• Never put the filter in the washing machine or dry it with a hair dryer.

Caution

Ensure the filter is completely dry before refitting it.
5 If required, fit a new filter in the holder and insert the holder again.
6 Fit the dust container back in.

The air outlet blower

1 Remove the grille over the air outlet opening (on the back of the appliance).

2 Remove the air outlet filter.
3 Shake the filter vigorously, then clean it in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and leave it to dry.

Caution

Ensure the filter is completely dry before refitting it.
4 Put back all the parts carefully.

Notes

The filter in the dust container should be replaced every six months, or sooner if necessary.

The air outlet filter should be replaced every six to nine months, or sooner if necessary.

Frequent washing causes wear and tear on the filter.
