Telescope Vacuum Pipe The height-adjustable vacuum pipe enables individual alignment to your height.

• Hold the suction tube tightly and unlock the coupling by turning in the direction of the UNLOCK arrow.

• Slide the vacuum pipe to the desired length.

• To lock the coupling please turn it in the LOCK direction until tight. Nozzle accessories Groove and brush nozzle: „2-in-1“ nozzle: For crevices, slits etc. please use the nozzle without the attachment. If you would like to vacuum items such as upholstery for example, please place the brush attachment on the crevice nozzle, taking note of the recess. Floor nozzle: To clean carpets or smooth surfaces. In order to facilitate control, the fl oor nozzle is fi tted with rollers and can be adjusted to suit the circum- stances. Carpet: make sure that the brushes on the fl oor nozzle are deactivated when cleaning carpets. If this is not the case, press the lever on the fl oor nozzle forwards with your foot. In order to vacuum even surfaces, for example, press the lever back with your foot. This activates the brus- hes (you can tell whether this is the case by checking that the brushes are visible on the fl oor nozzle). Releasing the nozzles: Pull these off while turning slightly. Air Slide Open the air slide on the hose handle in order to regulate the airfl ow or to clear any particles sticking to the nozzle. Filter Your machine has three fi lter systems. The traditional dust bag system has been replaced by a transparent dust container. In this, coarse dirt particles and tiny particles fl 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. 05-BS 1247 neu 62 30.08.2005, 15:45:09 UhrGB

Main Filter (in the Dust Container) If the dust container is approximately 1/3 full with dust particles, or if the suction power is reduced, please proceed as follows: Emptying the Dust Container In order to facilitate handling, fi rst release the suction tube from the connection head (see “Initial Operati- on”). Lift the key to release the dust container and then remove it. Carefully pull the fi lter element out by holding both clamps. Empty the contents of the dust container. Then re-insert the fi lter element. The marking on the fi lter element is in line with the marking of the dust container (see illustration). Please ensure that the fi lter element is straight and tightly in position. Tighten the dust container and the suction tube again until it clicks into place. 05-BS 1247 neu 63 30.08.2005, 15:45:10 UhrGB

Cleaning the Filter Element Important: Always empty the dust container fi rst before re-inser- ting the fi lter element. Pull the fi lter element out carefully by holding both clamps.

• Unlock the main fi lter by turning slightly (see illus- tration). The fi lter can then be removed by pulling downwards. Clean the fi lter by tapping and gentle brushing.

• Now replace the components. It is important to insert the sealing ring as otherwise the fi lter will leak. Please tighten the main fi lter again, taking note of the recesses. Every third time the dust container is emptied, or in the case of severe soiling, clean the fi lter by allowing water to fl ow through the fi lter fabric against the direction in which the vacuum cleaner blows. The dust container should only be reinserted when it is completely dry! Now place this back in position once it has completely dried! Caution: Never wash the fi lter in the washing machine, and please do not use a hairdryer to dry it. Motor protection fi lter (inlet fi lter) The inlet fi lter is located in the dust container com- partment. The fi lter is located vertically in the rear section of the dust housing (see illustration). Pull the fi lter out towards the front. Clean the motor protection fi lter approximately every 10th time you empty the dust container. If necessary, the fi lter can also be washed in warm water without any additives. Place it back into place only once it is completely dry! 05-BS 1247 neu 64 30.08.2005, 15:45:10 UhrGB

Outlet fi lter (13) The appliance is also equipped with an outlet fi lter. In order to ensure that the fi lter works correctly, we recommend that you replace it every six months. It is located on the rear part of your appliance behind a ventilation grid. Open the ventilation grille by pressing the lever on its side. Remove the fi lter and clean as described above. Fit the fi lter back into place and close the ventilation grid by following the steps above in the opposite order. Important note!

• Cleaning may become necessary after a shorter time, depending on the condi- tions of use, e.g. when vacuuming fi ne dust.

• If the suction power of your vacuum cleaner diminishes please clean the fi lters as described.

• If the suction power suddenly diminishes during operation this may be due to the fi lters being locked. Cleaning and storage Cleaning

• Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning!

• Clean the casing with a dry cloth.

• Clean the motor protection fi lter approximately every 10

time it is emptied, or more often if necessary. Clean the fi lter in hot water without additives. Put it back into place only once it is completely dry. Storage

• Let the iron cool down completely.

• Wind the cable completely.
