Children must not play with the appliance. Children must not perform cleaning or user maintenance tasks without supervision. Children under the age of eight should be kept away from the appliance and the connection cable whilst it is switched on or cooling down.
- Packing material must not be used for playing. There is danger of suffocation.

1.3 Information on power supply

The appliance is operated with electrical power, which means there is always a risk of electric shock. Therefore, please comply with the following:

• Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids; keep it away from rain and moisture. Never touch the plug with wet hands. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in rooms with a high level of humidity.
  Take care that the power cord is not kinked, pinched, or rolled over and ensure it does not come into contact with heat sources. Also take care that it does not become a stumbling hazard.
  Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that the voltage stated on the type plate matches the voltage of your plug socket.

■ Always check the power cord for possible damage before using the appliance.

■ Never carry the appliance by its power cord. It could be damaged.

Before you clean or maintain the appliance, switch off the appliance and pull the mains plug from the socket. Always pull directly on the plug when you disconnect the appliance from the mains. Do not pull on the power cord as this could damage it.

If possible, do not use extension cords. If you must use an extension cord, use only safety-certified, water-protected single extension cords (no multi-socket distributors) designed for the power consumption of the appliance.

1.4 Information on proper use

The cylinder vacuum cleaner is intended for home use only.

It is not suitable for commercial use.

Use the cylinder vacuum cleaner only for cleaning dry, normally soiled floors and carpet floorings. Depending on which nozzle you have attached (▷chapter 2.1, „Assemble appliance and adjust nozzles to surface“), you can also use the appliance to vacuum furniture or non-sensitive upholstery.

Any other use is considered improper use and is prohibited.

Also prohibited:

Vacuuming of:

• Persons, animals, plants, especially hair, fingers and other parts of the body as well as pieces of clothing worn on the body. These might be drawn in. This could result in injuries.
• Water and other fluids, especially damp carpet cleaners. Moisture inside the appliance can cause a short-circuit.
• Toner (for laser printers, copying machines, etc.). There is danger of fire or explosion.
• Hot ashes, burning cigarettes or matches. There is a danger of fire.

• Do not use the turbo brush on persons, animals or plants. Keep body parts away from the rotating brush roller.
• Switch off the vacuum cleaner before cleaning or detaching the turbo brush.
• Never run over cables. Otherwise, the insulation could get damaged.
  The turbo brush is not suitable to clean sensitive surfaces. This may cause damage. Comply with the care and cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer.

1.6 If the appliance is defective

Never use a defective appliance or operate an appliance with a defective power cord. If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturers, their authorised service representative or a similarly qualified person to avoid danger. Hand over a defective appliance to a specialist dealer or send it to the Dirt Devil customer service department for repairs (▷Page 46, 'International Service').

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. Connect suction hose and appliance (Fig. 1).

2. Insert the accessory included in the scope of delivery onto the handle (Fig. 2 - 10) depending on what type of surface you want to vacuum:

3. Furniture brush (Fig. 2) for objects with a sensitive surface

4. Upholstery nozzle (Fig. 3) for upholstery, mattresses, and the like
5. Crevice nozzle (Fig. 4) or optional long flexible crevice nozzle (Fig. 5) for crevices in upholstery
6. Optional mini turbo brush (Fig. 6) for non-sensitive upholstery, runner, mats, and the like
7. Floor nozzle with switch position as in Fig. 7 for carpets
8. Floor nozzle with switch position as in Fig. 8 for hard floors
9. Optional parquet brush (Fig. 9) for sensitive hard floors

10. Optional hard floor nozzle (Fig. 10) for hard floors with crevices

11. Ensure that the bypass vent is closed (Fig. 15).

WARNING:

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

CAUTION:

Only use the appliance with all filters undamaged, dry and correctly fitted. Make sure that no objects obstruct the telescopic tube, the suction hose or other openings.

1. Pull the cable out of the appliance (Fig. 11) and plug into a socket.

WARNING:

Danger of electric shock! If the red marking shows (Fig. 12) retract the cord by pressing the retraction button ( ) to pull in the cord up to the yellow mark (Fig. 13) again.

1. Switch on the appliance using the on/off switch ( ) (Fig. 14).

NOTE:

The auxiliary air regulator (Fig. 15) must be completely closed for vacuum cleaning. With the auxiliary air regulator you can quickly reduce the suction power, to release objects (such as curtains) that have been sucked in. If the hard floor nozzle (Fig. 10) has become stuck to the floor, you can reduce the suction power just as easily using the bypass vent (Fig. 15).

1. Vacuum clean.

WARNING:

Danger of injury! Especially when vacuum-cleaning stairs make sure that you always stand on a higher level than the appliance.

3.1 Emptying the dust container and cleaning the motor protection filters

NOTE:

The dust container has to be emptied and cleaned regularly. Otherwise emptying it will get harder and harder or smells and bacteria might develop, depending on what you have vacuumed up.

Therefore, it is best to empty the dust container after each vacuuming session.
■ Empty and clean the dust container at the latest when the cleaning/emptying display lights up (Fig. 16).
Also empty and clean the dust container every 3 months at the latest before storing for a long time or before sending the appliance.

CAUTION:

Switch off the appliance before removing the dust container. This will prevent dust from damaging the appliance.

1. Switch off the appliance ( ).
2. Pull the plug out of the plug socket.
3. Remove the dust container (Fig. 17).
4. Empty the dust container (Fig. 18).

NOTE:

You can dispose of the dust container with your regular domestic trash as long as it contains no waste materials prohibited in domestic trash.

1. Take this opportunity to also check the filter elements (dual motor protection filter and filter unit) in the dust container (Fig. 19 - 23).
2. If the filter elements (dual motor protection filter and filter unit) are dirty, clean them under cold or lukewarm running water until all dirt has gone.

CAUTION:

The filter elements are washable, but may not be cleaned in dishwashers or washing machines.

Also, do not use cleaning agents or brushes with hard bristles to clean the filter elements.
Leave the filter elements to dry after cleaning them with water (approx. 24 hours at room temperature).
■ Only put them back into the appliance when they are completely dry.
- Replace damaged or deformed filters immediately ▷Chapter 3.4, 'Spare parts and accessories').

1. Leave the filter elements to dry after cleaning them with water (approx. 24 hours at room temperature).
2. Put the filter elements back in (Fig. 24 - 29).

NOTE:

The filter elements are constructed so that they will only go all the way down if in the right position.

Nevertheless, it is helpful if you align the filter unit with respect to the vacuum cleaner as shown in Fig. 25 before insertion.
■ Then lower the filter unit completely into the vacuum cleaner until the three noses of the vacuum cleaner engage with the respective recesses of the filter unit (Fig. 26 – 27).
Do not use force upon insertion. If the dust container lid (Fig. 29) will not shut properly, then you have to take the parts out again and put them back in.

CAUTION:

Never operate the appliance without the filters in place. Never operate the appliance with damaged filters.
