2.1 Assemble appliance and adjust nozzles to surface

WARNING:

Danger of injury! Only attach the appliance parts when the appliance is not connected to the power supply. Otherwise the machine might start up and parts of your body, hair or pieces of clothing might be sucked in.

CAUTION:

Before assembling, make sure that the fitted nozzle suits the surface to be cleaned. Do not clean e.g. any floors or objects with a brush with rotating bristles that you would not clean without a second thought with a conventional brush. Also observe the flooring manufacturer's recommendations.

NOTE:

You might have to twist the parts when connecting them so they are securely in place. Ensure that installed parts are secure by trying to pull them apart.

1. Assemble the appliance and accessory parts depending on the surface you want to vacuum clean (Fig. 1-15).
2. Ensure that the bypass vent is closed (Fig. 10).
3. If you use the telescopic tube (Fig. 3), set its length (Fig. 4).

4. If you use the floor nozzle (Fig. 5), set it to the floor to be vacuumed (Fig. 6 carpet, Fig. 7 hard floor).

5. For thorough cleaning of hard-wearing carpets we recommend using the optionally included turbo brush (Fig. 8).

6. To use this attachment, attach it to the telescopic tube (Fig. 8).

7. Comply with the following safety information in doing so:

WA

Danger of injury! Switch off the vacuum cleaner before attaching or cleaning the turbo brush. Never run over parts of your body, clothing worn on your body, etc. Never run over power cords, since this could damage the insulation!

1. To vacuum delicate floors we recommend using the parquet brush (Fig. 9) included with the vacuum cleaner. To use this attachment, attach it to the telescopic tube (Fig. 9).
2. For upholstery, we recommend using the long crevice nozzle (Fig. 14) included with the vacuum cleaner. To use this attachment, attach it to the handle (Fig. 14).

3. For difficult-to-reach areas, we recommend using the long flexible crevice nozzle (Fig. 15) included with the vacuum cleaner.

4. To use this attachment, attach it to the handle.

5. Comply with the following information in doing so:

NOTE:

When you use the long, flexible crevice nozzle, under certain circumstances the pressure inside the vacuum cleaner might drop too far thus triggering the safety valve. The signal for this is e.g. a whistling noise (depending on the vacuum cleaner model) and greatly reduced suction performance. In this case, depending on the vacuum cleaner model and equipment, you have to reduce the suction power or open the bypass vent (Fig. 10) until the valve no longer triggers.

2.2 Vacuum cleaning

WARNING:

Danger of injury! Check appliance and power cord before each use. A damaged appliance must never be used.

CAUTION:
