Safety

The symbols and terms mean the following:

Safety Information

Danger!

Do not leave small children unsupervised with the packaging material! Otherwise there is a

danger of death by suffocation!

• Do not leave children unsupervised with the vacuum cleaner!
  Please ensure that no people or animals are hit by the vacuum cleaner!
  Before connecting the vacuum cleaner to the mains power supply you should ensure that the mains supply is 230V 50Hz and is correctly equipped with a 16 Ampere fuse.
  The device must only be assembled, maintained and serviced when it is not connected to the power supply!
• Do not allow the device to come into contact with moisture! Otherwise there is a danger of death by electric shock!
• Do not vacuum up any liquids! Otherwise there is a danger of electric shock!
• Do not expose the device to the close proximity of fire, heat or prolonged temperatures of more than 50^ ! Otherwise there is a danger of explosion!

Warning!

Before using the vacuum cleaner for the first time, please check that all parts have been assembled in accordance with the instructions!
Otherwise there is a danger that the vacuum cleaner will be damaged!
- Do not vacuum up any burning, glowing, smouldering or hot substances or materials! Danger of fire!
- Do not vacuum up any easily flammable or explosive substances, and do not vacuum in locations in which such substances are present! Danger of explosion!

Do not vacuum up any toner dust!
- Do not cover the vacuum cleaner with other items! Otherwise it might be damaged by heat accumulation!
If you are not using the vacuum cleaner, please disconnect it from the mains and roll up the power cord completely! Otherwise there is a danger of injury if it is tripped over!
- You should always use the handle when operating the vacuum cleaner. Vacuuming up fine dust results in static charges. You should therefore ensure permanent contact with the metal insert on the underside of the handle. This prevents the unpleasant effects of electrostatic discharge.
The device should never be used without a dust bag or filter!

Caution!

Please avoid any damage to the power cord!
During use the power cord should be unwound as far as the yellow marking! Otherwise there is a danger of damage from overheating!
During use the power cord should be unrolled at least as far as the yellow marking, but not past the red marking!
The power cord should only be removed from the socket by pulling the plug!
- Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains immediately if there are any malfunctions!
If the vacuum cleaner/power cord is damaged or broken it should only be repaired by authorised and trained specialists!

Initial Use

Assembly

• Press the cover release ⑪ of the dust collection container and then open the cover.
• Remove the dust bag holder ⑲ together with the dust bag ② and ensure that the motor protection filter ① and the exhaust air filter ② are assembled as shown in illustration B. Then reinsert the dust bag holder ⑲ together with the dust bag ⑳ .
• Close the cover and insert the suction hose connector ⑫ into the suction opening of the floor vacuum cleaner until it locks in place.
• Insert the tapered end of the telescopic suction tube ④ into the connector of the floor nozzle ⑧ until it locks in place. Insert the handle ① into the telescopic suction tube ④ until it locks in place.

Adjusting the Telescopic Suction Tube

• Keep the height adjuster ⑥ held down in the direction of the arrow (see illustration D).
• Adjust the telescopic suction tube ④ to the desired length and lock it in place.

Using the Suction Nozzles

The floor nozzle ⑧ is suitable for the daily vacuuming of carpeted and hard floors. The floor nozzle ⑧ can be changed over manually - the brush strip is folded in and out.

• Operate the changeover switch ⑨ of the floor nozzle in order to fold out the brush strip. This setting allows you to vacuum up loose dust, fluff and hairs on a smooth and solid surface, e.g. floor tiles.

• Operate the changeover switch ⑨ of the floor nozzle to fold the brush strip in again. This setting makes it possible to vacuum up fluff and hairs on fibre and soft surfaces, e.g. carpets.

For your individual room cleaning requirements the vacuum cleaner is supplied with a separate holder for three additional nozzles 15.

• The crevice nozzle 日 is suitable for vacuuming joints, corners and crevices.
• The upholstery nozzle ⑦ is suitable for vacuuming mattresses or upholstery furniture.
• The brush nozzle ⑧ with rotating brush head is suitable for vacuuming sensitive fabrics and other sensitive items.

Tip! The additional nozzles can be attached to the suction tube ④ , as well as to the handle ① of the suction hose.

Operation

Mains Connection

Switching On and Off

• Press the on/off switch ② and turn the vacuum cleaner on or off.
  Tip! After you have finished vacuuming up dust you should leave the Lervia KH 3158 switched on for approximately 3 more seconds. Otherwise not all

of the last dust that was vacuumed up will reach the dust bag.

Selecting the Suction Power

The indentation on the control 26 points to the selected suction power of the vacuum cleaner on the scale 27 (see illustration C).

• Turn the control ② 6 clockwise along the scale ⑦ in order to increase the suction power.
• Turn the control ②6 anticlockwise along the scale ⑦ to reduce the suction power.

Tip! Use the manual suction regulator ② on the handle (see illustration D) to reduce the selected suction power temporarily without moving the rotating control ②.

• Press the pedal button for the power cord rewind ② ; the power cord ⑤ is completely rewound into the vacuum cleaner.
