Releasing the nozzles: Pull these off while turning slightly. In order to facilitate control, the oor nozzle (9) is tted with roll- ers and can be adjusted to suit the circumstances. Carpet: make sure that the brushes on the oor nozzle are deactivated when cleaning carpets. If this is not the case, press the lever on the oor nozzle forwards with your foot. In order to vacuum even surfaces, for example, press the lever back with your foot. This activates the brushes (you can tell whether this is the case by checking that the brushes are visible on the oor nozzle). Air Slide Open the air slide on the hose handle in order to regulate the airow or to clear any particles sticking to the nozzle. Filter Your machine has three lter systems. The traditional dust bag system has been replaced by a transparent dust container. In this, coarse dirt particles and tiny particles oating 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. Main Filter (in the Dust Container) Once the dust level has reached the MAX mark on the dust con- tainer, or the suction power of the vacuum cleaner is reduced, please proceed as follows: Emptying the Dust Container Press the button to release the dust container and remove it from the vacuum cleaner.

• Press the button on the side of the container to empty its contents.
