Controlling the suction level

Fig. 6

To adjust the suction power, slide the on/off switch to the desired position:

Power level 1 1

Suction without the electric brush switched on.

For simple cleaning tasks on hard floors and particularly low operating noise.

The appliance achieves the maximum run time at this level.

●Power level 2 2

Vacuuming at normal power and with the electric brush switched on.

For normal cleaning tasks on all floors at an average run time.

●Turbo level Turbo

Vacuuming at full power and with the electric brush switched on.

For particularly demanding cleaning tasks on all surfaces (carpets, in particular) and when using an optional accessory. The appliance achieves a shorter run time at this level.

Fig. 7

- During short pauses in vacuuming, the appliance can be left standing anywhere in the room. To do this, tilt the vacuum cleaner forwards slightly in the direction of the nozzle.

Caution: When the appliance is left standing, it must be switched off because, if the brush is turning while the appliance is standing still, it could cause damage to the floor covering.

Emptying the dust container

Fig. 11

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

We recommend that you not fill the dust container beyond the marking, as this leads to considerable soiling of the filter.

When emptying the dust container, always check how dirty the outer filter unit is and, if necessary, clean it as detailed in the "Cleaning the outer filter unit" instructions. Fig. 16

! Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appliance is switched off.

Never vacuum without the outer filter unit and its fitted filter cartridge.

Fig. 12

- Use the release button to unlock the dust container and remove it from the appliance.

Fig. 13

Take the filter unit out of the dust container.

Empty the dust container.

Fig. 14

Remove any dirt which may have been lodged underneath the container ejector opening.

- insert the filter unit into the dust container, making sure it is correctly seated.

- insert the dust container in the appliance, so that it "clicks" audibly into place.

! Caution: If you notice any resistance when inserting the dust container, check that the filter is complete and that the filter unit and dust container are correctly seated.

Filter care

! Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appliance is switched off.

Fig. 15 Cleaning the outer filter unit

The outer filter unit should be cleaned at regular intervals in order to ensure optimum operation of the vacuum cleaner.

Please switch off the appliance to clean the outer filter unit.

Remove the dust container from the appliance. Fig. 12

Take the filter unit out of the dust container. Fig. 13 Clean the outer filter unit.

a) It is usually sufficient to lightly shake or tap out the whole filter unit when the dust container is emptied in order to dislodge any particles of dirt.

b) If this is not sufficient, you can use a dry cloth to remove dirt particles from the surface. If you want to wash the outer filter unit, you must first remove the filter cartridge from the filter unit. The filter cartridge must only be reinserted after the outer filter unit has completely dried.
