Caution Floor nozzles are subject to a certain amount of wear, depending on the type of hard floors you have (e.g. rough, rustic tiles). You must therefore check the underside of the floor nozzle at regular intervals. Worn undersides of floor nozzles may have sharp edges that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does not ac- cept any responsibility for damage caused by worn floor nozzles. Fig.

Set the adjustable floor nozzle: Rugs and carpets => Hard floors/parquet => If you are vacuuming up relatively large particles, make sure that you vacuum them up successively and careful- ly to ensure that the vacuum channel of the floor nozzle does not become blocked. If necessary, you should raise the nozzle in order to better vacuum up the dirt particles. Vacuuming with accessories Fig. 11* Attach the nozzles to the suction pipe or handle as re- quired: a) Crevice nozzle for vacuuming crevices and corners, etc. b) Upholstery nozzle for vacuuming upholstered furni- ture, curtains, etc. c) Upholstery nozzle with fixed brush ring for vacu- uming window frames, cupboards, profiles, etc. After use, reinsert the crevice nozzle and upholstery nozzle into the accessories holder.

If the Sensor Control indicator continues to flash red, check whether the nozzle, suction pipe or flexible hose are blocked. This can also trigger the Sensor Control indicator. Exhaust filter care Depending on the model, your appliance is equipped with either a HEPA filter Fig.

Depending on the model, your appliance has additional sound insulation behind the HEPA or micro filter. This does not have to be cleaned.47 HEPA filter Cleaning a washable HEPA filter The HEPA filter with the "washable" imprint is designed so that it does not need to be replaced, provided the appliance is used as intended in the household. To ensure that the vacuum cleaner is working at its op- timum power level, the exhaust filter should be rinsed out after one year. The filtering action of the filter re- mains intact, even if the filter surface becomes disco- loured.
