Using the nozzles

Using the floor nozzle*

For the daily care of carpets and hard floors. Without being changed over manually, the floor nozzle is entirely suited for daily vacuuming of carpets and hard floor surfaces such as parquet, tiles, linoleum, etc.

Using the floor nozzle*

For the daily care of carpets and hard floors. The floor nozzle may be changed over manually. The brushes can be extended for smooth floors and retracted for carpets.

Crevice and upholstery nozzle stored in the appliance

For specific cleaning requirements, two additional parts are included with the vacuum cleaner in an integrated accessories compartment*. Open the compartment by pressing gently as shown in the figure.

The nozzles may be attached to the suction tube or the handle on the suction hose, depending on requirements.

Crevice nozzle

For vacuuming crevices, gaps and corners.

Upholstery nozzle

The thread lifting strips on the nozzle even pick up thread and lint.

The suction power can be varied to suit individual vacuuming requirements using the electronic power adjuster.

Using the regulator on the handle, you can reduce the suction power, e.g. when vacuuming light items (net curtains, rugs). The wider you open the regulator, the lower the suction power at the nozzle becomes

Maintenance and cleaning

Prior to maintenance or cleaning, ensure that the appliance is switched off and that the mains plug has been removed from the socket:

Changing the paper filter

The paper filter must be replaced if the window on the filter replacement indicator is completely red when the appliance is operating at maximum power and the nozzle is raised from the floor.

The paper filter should be replaced even if it does not appear to be full because fine dust can block the pores in the surface of the filter.

The cover can be opened by pressing the button and folding back until it locks.

Hygienic filter change: When removing the full filter bag, pull the closing tab to automatically close the opening. There will be slight resistance when the tab is pulled.

Bags full of normal household dust may be disposed of with household waste.

Insert the new paper filter as far as it will go in the guide rails; only then can the lid be closed. The cover cannot be closed unless a paper filter has been inserted. Please do not use force!

Changing the microfilter

We recommend replacing the microfilter at each fifth paper filter replacement, and at the latest when there is a clean dust bag and the dust level indicator is completely red with the nozzle raised.

Open the lid and fold up. Remove the used microfilter by means of the clean hygienic tabs (figure) and dispose of it with the household waste. Insert the new microfilter and close the cassette.

HEPA filter

A highly effective special filter belonging to Class "S". This filter offers relief and assistance to allergy sufferers. The HEPA filter should be replaced after one year.

HEPA filter - further supplies available from Progress customer service.

Cleaning

As required, wipe the housing and the paper filter compartment with a damp cloth. Do not use any scourers or any solvents. Occasionally vacuum the floor nozzle and brush-heads with the crevice nozzle.

Carrying and Storage

To make the appliance easier to store and carry, slide the floor nozzle into the tool rail.

Parking System

For storing the suction pipe and nozzle during short pauses in vacuuming. The bracket on the nozzle is slid into the parking rail on the appliance.

What do I do, if ...

... it is difficult to push the nozzle

Reduce the power setting on the appliance. This will not reduce cleaning efficiency.

... the motor thermal cut-out is activated

If the motor is overloaded, e.g. due to a full filter bag or blocked accessory, the thermal cutout shuts down the motor. In this case, switch off the appliance, unplug from the mains, and leave the motor to cool down.

Check paper filter bag, suction tube and suction hose; remove any blockage.

The appliance can be switched on again after approximately 30 minutes.

... the fuse has blown

The fuse may blow if you use other electrical appliances with high power consumption on the same electric circuit at the same time as the vacuum cleaner is in use.

This can be avoided if you set the electronic power adjuster to the lowest power level and then select a higher level after switching the appliance on.

Your vacuum cleaner can be fitted with a gentle start-up control which reduces the starting current to the motor and therefore prevents the electric circuit cut-out being triggered under normal conditions. It is possible that there will be a delay of about 4 seconds in the appliance starting up on the lowest power level.

... the paper filter is damaged at some stage and the HEPA filter is dirtied

Remove the HEPA filter, clean (tap out) and replace.

Insert new paper filter.
