Now you should vacuum at an even speed. Pressing hard is not necessary.

Note: Pay attention to the restricted range due to the length of the cable! Avoid damaging the surface being cleaned: • Do not set the brushes too low! • Do not allow the machine to remain stationary when switched on!

Using the Accessories

The accessories should only be replaced when the machine is switched off. • • •

Release the suction hose (8) from the hose connection (17).

Select the desired accessory and place it on the end of the suction hose. If the hose is too short, attach the suction tubes beforehand as an extension.

Move the handle to a vertical position (a). See illustration E.

Switch the device off using the on/off switch. Use the cable take-up to stow away the cable.

Your machine has three filter systems. 1. Transparent dust collection container •

The traditional dust bag system has been replaced by a transparent dust collection container in which coarse dirt particles and tiny particles floating in the air are swirled out of the suction air by the high speed of the air current.

The quantity of dust can be easily read off at any time on the container, which is also very easy to empty. The purchase of dust bags is no longer necessary.

2. Pre-filter, Foam Filter, Motor Protection Filter (in the Dust Container)

Once the dust level has reached the FULL mark of the dust container, please proceed as follows:

1. Open the front panel (3) by pulling the opener (2). 2. Remove the dust container. See illustration F. 3. Empty the contents of the dust container into a suitable receptacle by pressing button 24 on the dust container. See illustration F. 41

4. Remove the filter inserts (see illustrations G and H) and clean the filters by tapping and brushing out gently. You can use the cleaning brush (26) to help you.

5. Re-insert the components. Lock the lid of the dust container again. See illustration I.

Every third time that the filters are emptied, or in the case of severe soiling, clean the filters by allowing water to flow through them against the direction in which the air blows.

The filters should only be re-inserted when they are completely dry!

• The device also has two exhaust filters. • We recommend cleaning these filters every fifth time they are emptied. • These filters are to be found behind the ventilation grid (4) of the front panel (3). See illustration J. • Remove the filters and clean them as described above. Replacement exhaust filters and motor protection filters can be obtained from our hotline.
