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.

When your work is finished

Please make sure that the contacts of the mains plug do not protrude out beyond the appliance. This may cause scratching/damage to furniture and doors, etc. Turn the plug to the side if necessary.

„ Hard floors/parquet =>

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 Fig. 19 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. Fig. 28

Cleaning the plate filter Your appliance is equipped with a "Sensor Control" Function. Fig. 23* + Fig. 25* 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. Vacuum cleaner with “RotationClean” function Fig. 23* 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. Fig. 24* Switch the appliance off in order to clean the plate filter.

Caution: the filter can only be cleaned if the appliance 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". Fig. 28

Vacuum cleaner with “SelfClean” function

Fig. 25* 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". Fig. 28 Fig. 26* 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. Tapping out the plate filter Fig. 27 If the plate filter is particularly dirty, the dirt can also be tapped out. Tap out the filter over a dustbin. The dirt will fall down out of the filter. Cleaning the fluff filter The fluff filter should be cleaned at regular intervals in order to ensure optimum operation of the vacuum cleaner. Fig. 28 Open the appliance lid and remove the dust container from the appliance. Fig. 20 a) Take the filter unit out of the dust container. b) It is usually sufficient to lightly shake or tap out the whole filter unit when the dust container is emptied in order to dislodge any particles of dirt. If this is not sufficient, you can use a dry cloth to remove dirt particles from the fluff filter.
