Vacuuming Figure The required suction power can be selected infinitely variably by adjusting the slide control. 䡲 Lowest suction range: For vacuuming delicate fabrics, e.g. curtains. 䡲 Low suction range: For daily vacuuming of lightly soiled floors. 䡲 Medium suction range: For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors and for heavily soiled surfaces. 䡲 High suction range: For vacuuming stubborn dirt and very heavily soiled surfaces. Figure Adjusting the floor tool: a) For vacuuming rugs and carpets => b For vacuuming hard floors => 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. Turbo brush If your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a turbo brush, please consult the accompanying instruction manual for notes on its use and maintenance. Figure Vacuuming with accessories (attach to handle or suction pipe as required). a) Crevice nozzle For cleaning crevices and corners. b) Upholstery nozzle For cleaning upholstered furniture, curtains, etc. c) Hard furnishings brush For vacuuming picture frames, books, furniture requiring particular care, etc. Figure Other accessories that you do not need can be stored easily in the accessories compartment of the vacuum cleaner lid.

First check that the nozzle, suction pipe and flexible hose are not blocked, as this would also lead to the dust bag change indicator being triggered.
