• Depending on model Vacuuming Figure Adjusting the floor tool: Rugs and carpets => Hard surfaces => Caution! Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of wear, depending on the type of hard floors you have (e.g. rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you must check the underside of the floor tool at regular intervals. Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp edges that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage caused by worn floor tools. 10* Figure Remove the upholstery nozzle and crevice nozzle from the accessories holder as illustrated. Figure Vacuuming with accessories 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 furniture, curtains, etc. Figure After use, push the crevice nozzle and upholstery nozzle back into the accessories holder as indicated

Figure 䡲 Secure the drill dust nozzle to the handle and then place against the wall, so that the nozzle drill hole opening sits directly over where the hole will be drilled. 䡲 Select the lowest power setting and then switch on the vacuum cleaner. 䡲 Suction holds the drill dust nozzle in the required position. Depending on the surface of the wall to be drilled, it may be necessary to readjust the power to a high- er setting to ensure the drill dust nozzle is firmly attached. Any fine particles are automatically vacuumed up.

Caution: the drill dust nozzle should only be used in conjunction with the dust container since fine drill dust can impair the function of the dust bag. Turbo brush If your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a turbo brush, please consult the accompanying instruction manual for notes on use and maintenance. 14*

Vacuum threads and hairs with the crevice nozzle. 17* 16* 15* Figure You can use the parking aid on the side of the vacuum cleaner if you wish to stop vacuuming for a short time. Once you have switched off the vacuum cleaner, slide the catch on the floor tool into the groove on the side of the appliance. Figure The appliance can also be carried using one of the two handles when vacuuming steps, for example. When the work is done Figure Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Tug the power cord briefly and let go. The cable then rewinds automatically. Figure To store or transport the vacuum cleaner, use the storage aid on the underside of the vacuum cleaner. Stand the vacuum cleaner up on its end. Slide the catch on the floor tool into the groove on the under- side of the appliance. You have purchased a floor vacuum cleaner which can vacuum up any type of dry dirt using the dust contain- er or dust bag. We recommend that you use: – the dust container, particularly for DIY-related clean- ing, e.g. to vacuum up wood shavings, etc. – the dust bag principally for everyday household cleaning.

Caution: The dust bag change indicator only works in conjunction with a dust bag. Figure Set the power setting to maximum for the best results when vacuuming. We recommend that you reduce the setting only when vacuuming very delicate materials. Emptying the dust filter To achieve an optimal result when vacuuming, the dust container should be emptied each time the vacuum cleaner is used. Figure Turn the dust compartment locking lever in the direction of the arrow to open the dust compartment cover. Figure Remove the dust container from the appliance.

Figure 䡲 Release the two snap locks on the bottom flap in the direction of the arrow, open the flap until it clicks into the stop position and the container will then empty the dirt in a downwards direction. 䡲 When closing the bottom flap, please ensure that there is no dirt around the edges. Clean if neces- sary. 䡲 Close the bottom flap, making sure that you hear it click into place. Figure Put the dust container back into the appliance and close the dust container lid.

Caution: the inside of the dust container may become scratched with use and start to look opaque. This does not, however, affect the perfor- mance of the vacuum cleaner in any way, i.e. it will continue to function as normal. Cleaning the permanent filter and Microsan filter in the dust container The filters must be cleaned (wash out the filter sys- tem): 䡲 After any malfunctions, i.e. after a blockage is cleared. 䡲 At least every six months. Figure 䡲 Press in the locking tab on the rear side of the con- tainer and remove the Microsan filter from the con- tainer. 䡲 Remove the permanent filter from the bottom plate of the container.

Wash the Microsan and permanent filters. The filters must then be left to dry for at least 24 hours.

After cleaning, insert the permanent filter into the bottom plate of the container. Put the Microsan filter onto the container and fix it in place by pushing in the direction of the arrow. You will hear the tab snap into place. Malfunctions Removing a blockage in the dust container. Figure 䡲 Empty the container (see figure 25) 䡲 Loosen the blockage, e.g. with a screwdriver, and tap it out. 䡲 Close the bottom flap, making sure that you hear it click into place.

Using dust bags If necessary, a dust bag may be used instead of the dust container. Figure 䡲 Open the dust bag compartment lid. 䡲 Remove the dust container and insert a dust bag. 䡲 Close the vacuum cleaner lid. You have bought an extremely powerful device. The highest suction setting is therefore only recommended for heavily soiled, short-pile carpets and hard floors. The required suction power can be selected by adjusting the suction regulator (see Figure 9). 䡲 Low suction range: For vacuuming delicate fabrics, e.g. curtains. 䡲 Middle suction range: For daily vacuuming of lightly soiled floors. 䡲 High suction range: For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors and for heavily soiled surfaces. Changing the dust bag Replacing the dust bag Figure a)If the dust bag change indicator is completely yellow when the floor tool is lifted from the floor and the highest suction power is selected, the dust bag must be changed. In this case it is essential to change the dust bag due to the type of material it contains. The nozzle, suction pipe and flexible tube must not be blocked, as this would also cause the dust bag change indicator to be triggered.

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 flexible hose are not blocked, as this would also lead to the dust bag change indica- tor being triggered.

• Depending on model45 Figure Open the lid by moving the locking lever in the direction of the arrow. Figure a)Seal the dust bag by pulling the sealing strip and then remove it. b)Slide the new dust bag into the holder to the stop.

Caution: The lid only closes with a dust bag inserted. Cleaning the motor protection filter The motor protection filter should be cleaned regularly by knocking out the dirt and rinsing. Figure Open the dust bag compartment lid (see Fig. 23). Pull out the motor protection filter in the direction of the arrow. Clean the motor protection filter by tapping it out. If it is very dirty, the motor protection filter should be rinsed. The filter must then be left to dry for at least 24 hours.

After cleaning, slide the motor protection filter into the vacuum cleaner and close the dust bag compartment lid.

Caution: The vacuum cleaner must not be operated without the motor protection filter. Replacing the micro-hygiene filter The motor protection filter should be changed: when starting a newpack of bags Figure Open the dust bag compartment lid (see Figure 23). Release the filter holder by moving the locking lever in the direction of the arrow. Remove the micro-hygiene filter. Insert the new micro-hygiene filter into the vacuum cleaner. Reinsert the filter holder and clip into place. Replacing the micro active carbon filter If your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a micro active carbon filter, this should be replaced every six months. Figure Open the dust bag compartment lid (see Figure 23). Release the filter holder by moving the locking lever in the direction of the arrow. Remove the micro active-carbon filter. Insert the new micro-active carbon filter. Reinsert the filter holder and clip into place. 36* 35* Care Always switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the power cord from the mains before cleaning the appliance. The vacuum cleaner and plastic accessories can be cleaned with a commercial plastic cleaner.

Do not use a scourer, glass-cleaning agent or all- purpose cleaning product. 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 a dry cloth or dusting brush. Subject to technical modifications.

• Depending on model 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 after one year. The filtering action of the filter remains intact, even if the filter surface becomes discoloured. Fig. 30*

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.
