You have purchased a floor vacuum cleaner which can vacuum up any type of dry dirt using the dust collector or dust bag. We recommend that you use: - the dust collector, in particular for your hobbies, e.g. to re- move wood shavings, etc. - the dust bag principally for everyday household cleaning.

USING THE DUST COLLECTOR

Figure 14 Set the power setting to maximum for the best results when vacuuming. We recommend that you reduce the setting only when vacuu- ming very delicate materials. Attention! The cover on this appliance cannot be closed if the dust collector or filter bag are not present inside. Do not force it shut and check that the desired dirt co- llection system is fitted correctly. Emptying the dust collector To achieve an optimal result when vacuuming, the dust collec- tor should be emptied each time the vacuum cleaner is used. Figure 15 Turn the dust compartment locking lever in the direction of the arrow to open the dust compartment cover. Figure 16 Remove the dust container from the appliance. Figure 17 To open the container base cover, press the button and empty the contents into a dustbin. – Close the bottom flap so that it can be heard snapping into position. Figure 18 Put the dust bag back into the vacuum cleaner and close the dust bag compartment lid. !Caution: The inside of the dust container may become scratched with use and Stara to look opaque. This does not, however, affect the performance of the vacuum clea- ner in any way, i.e. it will continue to function as normal. CLEANING THE HEPA FILTER AND THE NYLON

FILTER FOR THE DUST CONTAINER

The filters must be cleaned: – After any operating malfunctions, i.e. after a blockage is cleared. At least every six months. Figure 19 Remove the HEPA filter by pulling it straight out. Turn the nylon filter anti-clockwise to remove it and pull it out of its housing. Figure 20 - Wash the HEPA and nylon filters. Then leave them to dry for at least 24 hours. Once clean and dry fit them back into their housings on the container. Place the container back into its housing on the vacuum clea- ner.

VACUUMING WITH THE FILTER BAG

If necessary, the filter bag can also be used instead of the dust collector.Figure 21 - Open the cover for the appliance (see figure 15). - Take out the dust container and insert the filter bag. Close the vacuum cleaner cover

REPLACING THE DUST BAG

Figure 22 If the change filter indicator on the cover goes completely red when the universal nozzle is not touching the floor and the appliance is set to maximum suction, then it will be necessary to change the filter bag even though it is not completely full. Under these circumstances, the type of material being vacuu- med requires the bag to be changed. The nozzle, suction pipe and flexible tube must not be bloc- ked, as this would also lead to dust bag change indicator be- ing triggered.

• Never use the vacuum without a dust bag fitted, nor try to empty a full bag and reuse it.

• To guarantee trouble free operation only use original Ufesa bags, which can be found at Authorised Technical Service cen- tres. The use of other makes of bag may damage the appliance and make the guarantee void. Figure 23 Open the lid by moving the locking lever in the direction of the arrow. Figure 24 Seal the dust bag by pulling the locking tab and then remove it. Figure 25 Place a new dust bag in the holder and close the vacuum clea- ner lid. !Caution: The dust bag compartment lid Hill only close when the dust bag, dust collector are inserted.

Figure 26 – Open the dust bag compartment lid (see Figure 14). – Pull out the motor protection filter in the direction of the arrow. – Clean the motor protection filter by tapping it. – If it is very dirty, the motor protection filter should be rin- sed. The filter must then be left to dry for at least 24 hours. – After cleaning, slide the motor protection filter into the va- cuum cleaner and close the dust bag compartment lid.
