pressure. CAUTION: Pay attention to the range that can be covered with the cable length! Vacuum power regulator Low vacuum power: For curtains and delicate fabrics. Medium vacuum power: For long-pile velour carpets and textile ooring. High vacuum power: For sturdy rugs and oor.

The traditional dust bag system has been replaced by a transparent dust container.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. It is therefore unnecessary to buy dust bags. Emptying the dust container You can easily recognize when the transparent dust container must be emptied: Turn the device on with the on/off switch. If the dust is whirled up to the lower edge of the perforated surface of the cyclone unit, empty the dust container. Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the mains plug from the socket.

2. Press the button (12) to release

the dust container and remove the dust container (Fig. E).

3. Hold the dust bag over a rubbish

bin. Empty the contents of the dust bag. To do so, press the but- ton for the opening / emptying of the dust container (9) (Fig. F).

4. Close the base plate again so that it is heard to lock

5. Place the dust container back into the device, with the

lower side rst. Press the dust container downwards. The hook on the rear side of the dust container has to engage audibly.

6. Check the rm t of the dust container by briey lifting

the device by the carrying handle (11). Cleaning the filter (Cyclone unit)

1. Empty the dust container as previously described.

2. Unlatch the cover (8) of the dust container. Twist it

counter-clockwise in the “release” direction. Remove the lid.

3. Remove the motor protection lter and clean it by

shaking it out. In case of heavier soiling wash it out as described below.

4. Unlatch the cyclone unit. Twist it counter-clockwise in

the “release” direction. Pull the cyclone unit out of the dust container.

5. Hold the cyclone unit so that the perforated top part (7)

is showing downwards. Twist the bottom part (6) of the cyclone unit off in counter-clockwise direction.

6. Empty the content of the top part into a garbage can.

7. Reassemble the two parts of the cyclone unit. Set the

locking tab of the bottom part into the guide of the top part. Firmly tighten the parts up to the stop.

8. Place the cyclone unit back

into the dust container. Ob- serve the illustrations on the left. Hold the dust container so that you can see the opening of the air outlet in front of you. Press the locking tabs of the cyclone unit into the recesses of the dust container. Tighten the cyclone unit in the direction “lock” up to the stop.

9. Place the motor protection lter into the dust contain-

er. While doing so, look for the arrow markings on the cyclone unit and on the motor protection lter. Place the areas that are marked with the arrows above each other.

10. Place the lid onto the dust container so that the arrow

on the cover points to the symbol “open lock” on the dust container. Press the locking tabs of the cover into the recesses of the dust container.

11. Tighten the lid in clockwise direction. The arrow on

the lid must be located above the symbol “closed lock” on the dust container.

12. Place the dust container back into the device. The

hook on the rear side of the dust container must audibly engage.

13. Check the rm t of the dust container by briey lifting

the device by the carrying handle (11). Motor protection filter (in the dust container) Every third time the dust container is emptied, or in the case of severe soiling, clean the lter by allowing water to ow through the lter fabric against the direction in which the vacuum cleaner blows. You can remove the foam and wash it separately with clear water.33 Allow the foam and the eece lter to dry completely in the open air. Place the foam back onto the eece lter before you insert the motor protection lter into the dust container. CAUTION: Never wash the filter in the washing machine, and please do not use a hairdryer to dry it. HEPA filter (15) Your appliance also has a HEPA filter. It is located on the rear side of the device beneath the parking hook mount. In order to ensure that the lter works correctly, we recommend that you replace it every six months.

1. Remove the mains plug from the socket.

2. Press the lever to the left and remove the ventilation

3. Remove the lter insert and clean it just like the eece

lter of the motor protection lter (description see above).

the lever to the left again while doing so. Release it as soon as the ventilation grid is completely mounted. It has to audibly click in. CAUTION: Important note! Cleaning may become necessary after a shorter time, depending on the conditions of use, e.g. when vacuum- ing ne dust. If the suction power of your vacuum cleaner diminishes please clean the lters as described. If the suction power suddenly diminishes during opera- tion this may be due to the lters being locked.
