Frequently Asked Questions - VCC 4350 A GRUNDIG

Which type of dust bag should I use for the Grundig VCC 4350 A vacuum cleaner?

Use dust bags Swirl® Type Y 05® or Menalux® Type 1840. Do not attempt to empty and reuse the bag.

How do I change the dust bag?

Unplug the appliance, open the dust container cover by pressing the dedicated button, remove the filter holder, discard the used bag, insert a new bag and close the cover.

Why does the vacuum cleaner have no more suction power?

Check if the dust bag is full (red indicator), if the filters are clogged, or if there is a blockage in the hose or brush. Clean or replace the filters if necessary.

How do I clean the filters?

The motor and exhaust filters are washable with soapy water. Shake them first, wash them, rinse them and let them dry completely in the air before reinstalling. Do not machine wash or dry with a hairdryer.

When should the filters be replaced?

The dust container filter should be replaced every six months if necessary. The exhaust filter should be replaced every six to nine months.

Can the vacuum cleaner be used on parquet floors?

Yes, use the multi-surface brush in the 'brush retracted' position for hard floors to avoid scratches.

How do I adjust the suction power?

Use the suction control on the handle. Open it to reduce power (e.g., for long-pile carpets), close it for maximum power.

What should I do if the power cord does not rewind?

Unplug the appliance, hold the cord with one hand and press the rewind button. If it does not work, check that the cord is not twisted or blocked.

Can the vacuum cleaner be used without a dust bag?

No, never use the appliance without the dust bag, as this would damage the motor and the cover would not close.

What accessories are supplied with the vacuum cleaner?

The vacuum cleaner comes with a crevice tool, multi-surface brush, flexible hose and metal telescopic tube.
