Spare parts, accessories, dust bags Our original spare parts, original (special) accessories and original dust bags are designed to work with the features and requirements of our vacuum cleaners. We therefore recommend that you only use our ori- ginal spare parts, original (special) accessories and original dust bags. This will ensure that your vacuum cleaner has a long service life and that the quality of its cleaning performance will remain consistently high throughout. Please note: Using unsuitable or inferior-quality spare parts, (special) accessories and dust bags can damage your vacuum cleaner. Damage caused by the use of such products is not covered by our guarantee. en12 When disconnecting the appliance from the mains, pull on the plug itself to remove it; do not pull on the power cord. Do not pull the power cord over sharp edges or allow it to become trapped. When the cable is being automatically rewound, en- sure that the mains plug is not thrown towards per- sons, body parts, animals or objects. >=Use the mains plug to guide th e power cord. Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any work on the vacuum cleaner. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner if it is damaged. Unplug the appliance from the mains if a fault is de- tected. For safety reasons, only authorised after-sales service personnel are permitted to carry out repairs and fit replacement parts to th e vacuum cleaner. Protect the vacuum cleaner from the weather, moistu- re and sources of heat. Do not pour flammable substances or substances con- taining alcohol onto the filters (dust bag, motor pro- tection filter, exhaust filter, etc.). The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for use on con- struction sites. >= Vacuuming up building rubble could dam age the appliance. When not in use, switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug. At the end of its life, the appliance should immediately be rendered unusable, then disposed of in an appro- priate manner.

Please note The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16 amp circuit breaker. If a circuit breaker is tripped when you switch on the vacuum cleaner, this may be because other electri- cal appliances which have a high current draw are connected to the same power circuit. To prevent the circuit breaker from tripping, s elect the lowest power setting before switching the ap- pliance on, and increase the power only once it is running. Disposal information Packaging The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from being damaged during transportation. It is made of environmentally friendly materials and can therefore be recycled. Dispose of packaging that is no longer required at an appropriate recycling point. Old appliance Old appliances still contain many valuable materials. Therefore, please take appliances that have reached the end of their service life to your retailer or recyc- ling centre so that they can be recycled. For current disposal methods, please enquire at a retailer or your local council. Disposal of filters and dust bags Filters and dust bags are manufactured from envi- ronmentally frie ndly materials. Provided they do not contain substances that are not permitted in household waste, you can dispose of them with your normal household waste.

Adjusting the floor tool: Rugs and carpets

Please note: Floor tools 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 tool at regular intervals. Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp edges that can damage delicate hard floors, such as parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does not accept any r esponsibility for damage caused by worn floor tools. Figure 10* Vacuuming with a ccessories Attach the nozzles to the suction pipe or handle as required: a) Crevice nozzle for vacuuming crevices and corners, etc. b) Upholstery nozzle for vacuuming upholstered furni- ture, curtains, etc. c) Hard-floor tool For vacuuming hard floor coverings (tiles, parquet, etc.) Figure

Remove the dust bag and insert the dust container.

Set the power setting to maximum for best results when vacuuming. We recommend that you reduce the setting only when vacuuming very delicate materials. Emptying the dust container In order to achieve the best possible vacuuming results, the dust container should be emptied after every use or, at th e latest, when dust at one point in the container has reached the max marking. When emptying the dust container, always check the soiling level of the foam filter in the bottom of the container. When it is visibly soiled, clean the filter as described from figure

We recommend that you use: −The dust bag principally for everyday household cle aning. −The dust container for DIY-related cleaning in parti- cular, e.g. to vacuum up wood shavings, etc. Using dust bags Replacing the dust bag Figure

If the dust bag change indicator in the lid is filled completely when the floor tool is lifted from the floor with the highest suction level selected, the dust bag must be changed, even though it may not yet be full. Even if the dust bag is not full, it may still need changing, due to the type of dust which has been vacuumed. First check that the nozzle, suction pipe and flexib- le hose are not blocked, as this would also lead to the dust bag change indicator being triggered. Figure

Unlock the lid by releasing the locking lever in the direction of the arrow. Figure

a) Close the dust bag by pulling on the locking tab and then remove it. b) Insert a new dust bag by pushing it fully into the holder.

Please note: The lid will only close if a dust bag has been inserted.

Unlock the locking tab on the rear side of the container and open the base plate on the bottom of the container.

Release the filter holder by moving the locking lever in the direction of the arrow.

Remove the micro-hygiene filter. Insert a new micro-hygiene filter into the appliance.

Insert the filter holder into the appliance and lock it in place. Cleaning the (H)EPA* exhaust filter The (H)EPA* filter 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 optimum power level, the (H)EPA* filter should be rinsed out aft er one year. The filtering action of the filter remains intact, even if the filter surface becomes discoloured. Fig. 29*

Unlock the (H)EPA* filter by moving the locking tab in the direction of the arrow, and remove it from the appliance.

Tap out the filter unit 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 other laundry items, put the filter unit into a laundry bag.

Once the (H)EPA* filter has dried completely (at least 24 hours), insert it back into the appliance and lock it in place.

Close the rear flap. After vacuuming fine dust particles (e.g. gypsum, cement, etc.), clean the motor protection filter by tapping it out or, if necessary, replace the motor pro- tection filter and exhaust filter. Care Always switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the power cord from the mains before cleaning the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner and plastic accessories can be cleaned with a commercial plastic cleaner.

Do not use a scourer, glass- cleaning agent or multi-purpose clea ning products. Never immerse the vacuum cleaner in water. The dust compartment can, if necessary, be cleaned with a second vacuum cleaner or simply wiped with a dry cloth or dusting brush. Subject to technical modifications.
