3.2 Adjusting suction

power You can adjust the suction power to suit the type of floor be-ing cleaned. 1. Slide the suction power control to variably adjust thesuction power (Fig. 18/1):- Low suction power ("min"):For example for textiles, such as curtains and drapes- High suction power ("max"):For example for deep-pile carpets

3.3 Switching off the appli-

ance and retracting the

power cord 1. Switch off the cylinder vacuum cleaner with the on/offswitch (Fig. 20/1) and unplug the plug from the mainssocket.2. Keep the plug in your hand. 3. Push the cable retraction button (Fig. 20/2) to retractthe power cord.

Your vacuum cleaner has an integrated protection function that trips before the appliance can overheat (e. g. due to blocked suction paths or an overfilled dust filter bag). If this protective func- tion trips, the suction power will be strongly reduced. If this occurs, switch off the device, unplugthe plug from the socket and eliminate the cause of overheating. You can then turn the clean,fully-assembled vacuum cleaner back on.

The bypass vent (Fig. 19) must be completely closed forvacuuming. With the bypass vent you can quickly reducethe suction power, e.g. to release curtains that have acci-dentally been sucked in.

Danger of injury! During uncontrolled retraction, thepower cord can whip around, become a tripping hazardor knock over objects. Therefore, keep the plug in yourhand and guide the cord when retracting it.

3.4 Transport and storage

 To transport the cylinder vacuum cleaner, you can car- ry it by the carrying-handle (Fig. 21).  To park it or when interrupting work you can hook the parking/storage hook onto the parking bracket (Fig. 22). Itis recommended to first retract the telescopic tube.  For storing you can hook the parking/storage hook into the storage bracket on the bottom of the cylinder vacuumcleaner (Fig. 23). It is recommended to first retract the tele-scopic tube.  For prolonged storage replace the dust filter bag with

a new one ZChapter 4.1, ‘Changing the dust filter bag’.  Always store the appliance in a cool, dry place and outof reach of children. WARNING: Danger of injury! Switch off the appliance when not work- ing with it and observe the notices under ZChapter 3.3, ‘Switching off the appliance and retracting the powercord’. ATTENTION: Never store the appliance next to heat sources(e.g. stoves or radiators). Avoid exposing it to direct sun-light. Heat can damage the appliance. 1

ter bag  Change the dust filter bag - when the LED display (Fig. 24/1) lights up red,- before prolonged storage or - before you send in the appliance.  For hygienic reasons, change the dust filter bag at leastonce every three months. 1. Switch off the appliance and unplug the plug from themains socket, ZChapter 3.3, ‘Switching off theappliance and retracting the power cord’. 2. Unlock the dust chamber cover (Fig. 26) and open itwide until it tangibly clicks into place and remains openwithout having to be held. 3. Carefully pull the dust filter bag holder with the filter bagupward and out of the appliance (Fig. 27).

When leaving your working-area, switch off the applianceand mind the notices at ZChapter 3.3, ‘Switching off theappliance and retracting the power cord’. In this way youavoid dust destroying the appliance.

To ensure that the dust compartment cover stays openby itself, it is recommended to first disconnect the suctionhose. To do this push both release buttons simultane-ously (Fig. 25).

Be careful when removing the dust filter bag so that nodust can escape.

It may be that you can better remove the full dust filterbag if you lift it out of the appliance directly together withthe basket. To do this use both shanks (Fig. 27/1).

4. Carefully pull the full dust filter bag carefully out of the

dust bag holder (Fig. 28/A).

5. Take this opportunity to check the motor protection filter

as well (ZChapter 4.2, ‘Cleaning / changing the motor

protection filter’).

The dust compartment cover can only be closed if the

dust filter bag and dust bag holder have been inserted

4.2 Cleaning / changing

the motor protection

filter  Clean the motor protection filter at every filter bagchange, but at the latest every 3 months. Change the motor protection filter each time you open anew package of dust filter bags, as a new motor protectionfilter is always included in the package. However changethe motor protection filter at the latest every 6 months.1. Switch off the appliance and remove the dust filter bag as described in ZChapter 4.1, ‘Changing the dust filter bag’, steps 1-3.2. Pull the basket upward and out of the dust compartment(Fig. 32). 3. Remove the filter holder together with the motor protec-tion filter by pulling it upward and out of the appliance(Fig. 33).4. Hold the filter holder with the motor protection filter overa dustbin, sink or similar receptacle.5. Separate the motor protection filter from the filter holder(Fig. 34).6. Thoroughly knock the dust off of the motor protection fil- ter. 7. If such dry cleaning is insufficient, thoroughly rinse thefilter by hand in running clean cold or hand-warm water. 8. If the motor protection filter is damaged or deformed, re-place it with a new one (ZChapter 6.1, ‘Accessoriesand spare parts’). 9. Push the motor protection filter back into the filter holder(Fig. 34). Ensure that the motor protection filter is locat-ed behind all 4 tabs of the holder (Fig. 34/1) at the sametime.10. Push the motor protection filter with new/cleaned filterback behind its 2 guide rails until it will go no further(Fig. 35).11. Put the basket back into the dust compartment.12. Slide the dust bag holder with the new dust bag backinto its guides, ZChapter 4.1, ‘Changing the dust filterbag’.13. Close the dust compartment cover. It audibly snaps intoplace.

The motor protection filter is washable, but it may not becleaned in dishwashers or washing-machines. Do notuse cleaning agents for cleaning. Then allow the motorprotection filter to dry (approx. 24 hours at room temper-ature). Only put it back into the appliance when it is com-pletely dry.

4.3 Cleaning / changing

the exhaust filter  Clean the exhaust filter each time you clean the motorprotection filter. Change the hygienic exhaust filter as soon as it is de-formed or damaged.1. Switch off the appliance and unplug the plug from themains socket, ZChapter 3.3, ‘Switching off theappliance and retracting the power cord’.2. Unlock the exhaust filter cover (Fig. 36) and remove it.3. Take the hygienic exhaust filter out of its bracket andcheck it for fouling (Fig. 37).4. Knock the dirt out of the hygienic exhaust filter over adustbin. 5. Should this be insufficient, clean the filter with a softbrush, e. g. the furniture brush supplied with the appli-ance (Fig. 38).6. If the hygienic exhaust filter is still dirty after this proce-dure, thoroughly rinse it by hand until all dirt is gone(Fig. 39).

The filters are washable, but not suitable for cleaning inwashing machines or dishwashers. Also, do not use deter-gents or brushes with hard bristles to clean them.

4 Maintenance 7. Let the filters dry for approx. 24 hours at room tempera-ture after cleaning. 8. If the filter is damaged or deformed, replace it (orderinginformation ZChapter 6.1, ‘Accessories and spareparts’).9. Place the new / cleaned and completely dry exhaust fil-ter back in its receptacle (Fig. 41). 10. Fit on the exhaust filter cover, starting at the rear.11. Then press the exhaust filter cover firmly down until youfeel and hear it snap into place (Fig. 42). 4.4 Cleaning the housing  Only clean the outside of the housing using a slightlydamp cloth.

GB 7 Warranty 7.1 Warranty conditions

We offer a warranty of 24 months from the date of purchase for the appliances we sell.

Within this warranty period, we will correct all defects free of charge that are due to material or man-

ufacturing faults, either by repair work or replacing the appliance or accessories, at our discretion

(damage to accessory parts does not automatically lead to the entire appliance being replaced).

Damage due to inappropriate use (operation on wrong voltage or type of current, connecting to un-

suitable power supplies, breakage, etc.) are exempt from warranty, as are normal wear and minor

defects that only negligibly affect the appliance's value or serviceability.

Interventions by unauthorised parties and the use of spare parts not supplied by Royal

make the warranty null and void. Consumable parts are not included in the warranty and therefore

must be purchased by the customer!

The warranty is only valid if the date of purchase has been acknowledged by the dealer's stamp and

signature on the warranty card or if a copy of the invoice is included with the appliance that has been

sent in. Warranty work does not extend the warranty period nor does it constitute a claim for a new
