Safety instructions

General

• Please read these instructions carefully and retain them for reference.
• Use this appliance solely in accordance with these instructions.
• Use solely accessories recommended by the supplier. The use of other accessories may result in damage to the appliance, thereby creating hazards for the user.
  This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Have any repairs carried out solely by a qualified electrician. Never try to repair the appliance yourself.

Electricity and heat

• Verify that the mains voltage is the same as that indicated on the type plate on the appliance before use.
  Always remove the plug from the wall socket when the appliance is not in use.
• Always remove the plug from the wall socket by pulling on the plug, not the power cord.
• Check the appliance's power cord regularly to make sure it is not damaged. Do not use the appliance if the power cord is damaged. Have a damaged power cord replaced by a qualified service department.
• Avoid stumbling over the extension lead or power cord.
  Make sure the air vents are not covered or blocked.
• Make sure that the appliance, the cord and the plug do not come in contact with sources of heat, such as a hot hob or naked flame.
• Make sure that the appliance, the power cord and plug do not come in contact with water.

During use

• Never use the appliance outdoors.
• Never use the appliance in a humid room.
• Make sure that your hands are dry before touching the appliance, power cord or plug.
• The power cord has a yellow and a red mark. Pull out the power cord to the yellow mark. Never pull out the power cord beyond the red mark.
• Guide the power cord whilst it rewinds onto the reel, since otherwise the cord could become tangled or the plug could strike the back of the appliance. Take hold of the power cord near the mark, and allow it to gently slide through your fingers back into the appliance.
• When fitting the dust bag make sure that it does not become pinched between the cover and the motor unit. This could damage the appliance and/or the dust bag.
• Do not use the appliance to suck up the following objects:
• glowing or burning objects
  glass splinters or other sharp objects
• residues of plaster, cement, stone, soot, and similar
  liquids, or moist dirt.

These objects could cause serious damage to the appliance and the filter system, and make it unsafe to use.

• Do not use the vacuum cleaner on wet rugs and carpets.
• Never insert objects in the air-exhaust vents.
• Make sure that the suction and exhaust openings are open, and that the filters are not blocked. Blockages will cause the appliance to overheat. Switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately! Once you have remedied the problem, wait 20 to 30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down completely. The vacuum cleaner will then be ready for use again.
• Keep the nozzle and the tubes away from the body while the vacuum cleaner is running. This could cause serious injury, for example to the eyes or ears.
• Never roll the appliance over the cord.
• Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the wall socket in the event of a malfunction during use, and before filling or emptying the appliance, cleaning the appliance, fitting or removing an accessory, or storing the appliance after use.

• Never immerse the appliance, the plug or the power cord in water or other liquids. After washing the filters make sure they are thoroughly dry before returning them to the appliance.

• Do not pick up the appliance if it falls into water. Remove the plug from the wall socket immediately.

• Do not use the appliance any more.

1. You can adjust the vacuum suction with the vacuum suction control, see Figure 7. It is advisable to reduce the vacuum suction when cleaning upholstered furniture and curtains. This will prevent the fabric from being sucked into the nozzle.

Note If so required, you can also reduce the suction quickly by moving the slide on the hose grip.

Figure 7 Vacuum suction control

Accessories

This vacuum cleaner is supplied with two accessories:

• a crevice tool, which you can use to clean radiators, window frames, crevices, small openings, and similar;
• a upholstery tool, which you can use to clean soft surfaces such as upholstered furniture and curtains.

You can store these accessories in the accessory compartment, see Figure 8.

Figure 8 Storing the accessories

1. Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2. Press the rewind button and keep it pressed in; the power cord will automatically rewind onto the reel.

Guide the power cord whilst it rewinds onto the reel, since otherwise the cord could become tangled or the plug could strike the back of the appliance. Take hold of the power cord near the mark, and allow it to gently slide through your fingers back into the appliance, see Figure 9.

Figure 9 Rewinding the power cable

1. Stand the vacuum cleaner upright. An attachment slot for the fixing bracket is fitted to the back of the vacuum cleaner next to the front castor see Figure 10. Slide the bottom of the fixing bracket into the slot. This avoids the need to dismantle the vacuum cleaner after use; you can store the assembled appliance and retrieve it again quickly when you need it.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

1. Clean the outer surface of all parts with a damp cloth and a cleaner suitable for plastics. Make sure no moisture gets into the appliance.
2. Over the course of time dust and dirt can accumulate around the wheel axles, thereby preventing the wheels from turning easily. Consequently they should be kept clean.

PLEASE NOTE

• Never immerse the appliance, plug or power cord in water.
• Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to clean the appliance.

Changing the dust bag

Change the dust bag immediately once the 'dust bag full' indicator turns red, see Figure 11.

PLEASE NOTE

It is possible that the indicator turns red whilst the dust bag is not yet full. If so, then the nozzle, hose or tubes may be blocked. These will then need to be unblocked.

1. Open the cover by pulling the cover release (dust bag) upwards. Remove the dust bag holder from the vacuum cleaner. Remove the dust bag from the holder, and dispose of it in a dustbin.
2. Fit a new dust bag in the holder with the arrow pointing downwards, and press into position. Place the dust bag holder back.
3. Press the cover until it clicks into place.

PLEASE NOTE

Make sure that the dust bag does not become pinched by the cover. This could damage the appliance and/or the dust bag.
