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 delicate 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.

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) Animal-hair nozzle d) Hard-floor nozzle for vacuuming hard floor coverings (tiles, parquet flooring, etc.) Fig.

Cleaning & maintenance Emptying the dust container Fig.

In order to achieve the best possible vacuuming re- sults, the dust container should be emptied after every use or, at the latest, when dust in the dust container has reached the marking at any point.

Caution The dust container can only be removed when the appliance is in a horizontal position. Therefore, place the appliance on the floor to unlock the re- lease button. Fig.

a) Remove the dust container from the appliance by pulling it upwards out of the cover. b) Press on the upper catch to unlock the lid of the dust container and empty the dust container. c) Check the fluff filter and rinse it under running wa- ter, if necessary. Allow to dry before putting it back in the dust container. Close and lock the lid. d) Insert the dust container into the appliance.39 Maintaining the dust-collection system Your appliance is equipped with a Sensor Control indi- cator. This function constantly monitors whether your vacuum cleaner is working at its optimum power level. Fig.

The indicator (blue ring) flashes red when the filter in the dust container needs to be cleaned. The appliance is automatically adjusted to the lowest power level. Cleaning the filter in the dust container Switch off the appliance. Fig.

a) Open the bottom plate of the dust container by pulling on the lower catch. b) Fold out the filter cartridge with foam filter and fleece filter. c) Remove the foam filter and the fleece filter from the bottom plate of the dust container. d) Tapping out both parts is all that is required to be able to stop the suction process. e) Then clean the foam filter and the fleece filter under running water. Alternatively, the two filters can be cleaned in the washing machine at max. 30 °C using a gentle pro- gramme and the lowest spin speed. TIP: To protect the filters, place them in a laundry bag. f) Allow the foam filter and the fleece filter to dry com- pletely for at least 24 hours and then place both fil- ters back in the bottom plate of the dust container. g) Close and lock the bottom plate. Maintaining the exhaust filter The exhaust filter is designed so that it does not need to be replaced, provided the appliance is used as inten- ded 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. Fig. 22* a) Open the top cover by pressing on both sides of the catch and remove it upwards. b) Unlock the exhaust filter and remove it from the ap- pliance. c) Tap out the exhaust filter and rinse it under running water. Alternatively, the unit can be cleaned in a washing machine at max. 30 °C using a gentle programme and the lowest spin speed. TIP: To protect the other items in the machine, place the filter unit in a laundry bag. d) Once the exhaust filter has dried completely (for at least 24 hours), put it back into the appliance and lock it in place. >= Put the top cover back on the appliance so that it 'clicks' audibly into place.

• Dependent on model Cleaning instructions Always switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the power cord from the mains before cleaning the va- cuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner and plastic acces- sories can be cleaned with an ordinary plastic cleaner.
