Alle in dieser Anweisung nicht genauer beschriebenen Verfahren wurden auf Basis der Norm EN 60312-1:2017* ausgeführt. *Da der Lebensdauertest für den Motor bei leerem Staubbehälter durchgeführt wird, muss die angege- bene Motorlebensdauer für Prüfung mit halbgefülltem Staubbehälter um 10% erhöht werden.4 Safety information This vacuum cleaner complies with the recognised rules of technology and the relevant sa- fety regulations. The appliance may be used by children over the age of 8 years and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacity or by persons with a lack of experience or knowledge if they are super- vised or have been instructed on the safe use of the appli- ance and the have under- stood the potential dangers of using the appliance. Children must never play with the appliance. Cleaning and user mainte- nance must never be carried out by children without su- pervision. Plastic bags and films must be kept out of the reach of children before disposal. >= Risk of suffocation. Proper use Only connect and use the vacuum cleaner in ac-cordance with the specifications on the rating plate. Never vacuum without the dust bag or dust container, motor protection or exhaust filter. >= This may damage the vacuum cleaner. Always keep the vacuum cleaner away from your head when using nozzles and tubes.>= This could cause injury! When vacuuming stairs, the appliance must always be positioned below the user. Do not use the power cord or the hose to carry or transport the vacuum cleaner. For safety reasons, if this appliance's mains power cable becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their after-sales service department or a similarlyqualified person. If using the appliance for longer than 30 minutes, pull out the power cord completely. When disconnecting the appliance from the mains, pull on the plug itself to remove it; do not pull on the power cord. Do not pull the power cord over sharp edges or allow it to become trapped. When the cable is being automatically rewound, en- sure that the mains plug is not thrown towards per-sons, body parts, animals or objects. >= Use the mains plug to guide the power cord. Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any work on the vacuum cleaner. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner if it is damaged. Unplug the appliance from the mains if a fault is de-tected. For safety reasons, only authorised after-sales service personnel are permitted to carry out repairs and fit re-placement parts to the vacuum cleaner. Protect the vacuum cleaner from the weather, moistu-re and sources of heat. Do not pour flammable substances or substances con-taining alcohol onto the filters (dust bag, motor protec-tion filter, exhaust filter, etc.). The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for use on con- struction sites. >= Vacuuming up building rubble could damage the appliance. When not in use, switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug. At the end of its life, the appliance should immediately be rendered unusable, then disposed of in an approp-riate manner. Please note The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16 amp circuit breaker. If a circuit breaker is tripped when you switch on the vacuum cleaner, this may be because other electrical appliances which have a high current draw are con-nected to the same power circuit. To prevent the circuit breaker from tripping, select the lowest power setting before switching the appli-ance on, and increase the power only once it is run-ning. Disposal information Packaging The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from being damaged during transportation. It is made of environmentally friendly materials and can therefore be recycled. Dispose of packaging that is no longer required at an appropriate recycling point. Old appliance Old appliances still contain many valuable materials. Therefore, please take appliances that have reached the end of their service life to your retailer or recyc-ling centre so that they can be recycled. For current disposal methods, please enquire at a retailer or your local council. Disposal of filters and dust bags Filters and dust bags are manufactured from en-vironmentally friendly materials. Provided they do not contain substances that are not permitted in household waste, you can dispose of them with your normal household waste.5

To store or transport the vacuum cleaner, use the storage aid on the underside of the vacuum cleaner.

Stand the vacuum cleaner up on its end. Slide the catch on the floor tool into the groove on the under- side of the appliance. You have purchased a floor vacuum cleaner which can vacuum up any type of dry dirt using the dust contai- ner or dust bag. We recommend that you use: - the dust container, in particular for your hobbies, e.g. to vacuum up wood shavings, etc. - the dust bag principally for everyday household cleaning. Using the dust container

Caution: The dust bag change indicator only works in conjunction with a dust bag. Figure

Set the power setting to maximum for the best results when vacuuming. We recommend that you reduce the setting only when vacuuming very delicate materials. Emptying the dust filter To achieve an optimal result when vacuuming, the dust container should be emptied each time the vacuum cleaner is used. Figure

Turn the dust compartment locking lever in the direction of the arrow to open the dust compart- ment cover. Figure

Remove the dust container from the appliance. Figure

Release the two snap locks on the bottom flap in the direction of the arrow, open the flap until it clicks into the stop position and the container will then empty the dirt in a downwards direction.

If the bottom flap is very dirty, (thick dirt) clean it before closing, by vacuuming it with the crevice nozzle, for example. (You must fit the dust bag in the vacuum cleaner when you do this - Figure

Close the bottom flap so that it can be heard snap- ping into position. Figure

Put the dust bag back into the vacuum cleaner and close the dust bag compartment lid.

Caution: The inside of the dust container may be- come scratched with use and start to look opaque. This does not, however, affect the performance of the vacuum cleaner in any way, i.e. it will continue to function as normal. Cleaning the permanent filters and mic- ro filters in the dust container The filters must be cleaned:

After any operating malfunctions, i.e. after a blocka- ge is cleared.

At least every six months. Figure

Press the fastener on the rear side of the container and remove the micro filter from the bottom of the container.

Remove the permanent filter from the bottom plate of the container. Figure

Wash the micro- and permanent filters. The filter must then be left to dry for at least 24 hours.

After cleaning, place the permanent filter on the bottom plate of the container. Put the micro filter onto the container and fix it in place by pushing in the direction of the arrow. You will hear the flap snap shut. Blockages Removing a blockage in the dust container. Figure

Loosen the blockage, e.g. with a screwdriver, and tap or vacuum it out. (You must fit a dust bag in the vacuum cleaner before vacuuming it out - Figure

Close the bottom flap so that it can be heard snap- ping into position.

Caution: The micro- and permanent filters must be cleaned following any operating problem ( Figure

Open the dust bag compartment lid.

Close the vacuum cleaner lid. You have bought an extremely powerful device. The highest suction setting is therefore only recom- mended for heavily soiled, short-pile carpets and hard floors. The required suction power can be selected by adjusting the suction regulator ( Figure

Low power range => For vacuuming delicate materials, e.g. delicate upholstery, curtains, etc. Medium power range

For daily vacuuming of lightly soiled floors. *Dependent on model32 High power range

For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors and heavily soiled floors. Replacing the dust bag Figure

If the dust bag change indicator in the lid is filled com- pletely when the floor tool is lifted from the floor with the highest suction level selected, the dust bag must be changed, even though it may not yet be full. Even if the dust bag is not full, it may still need changing, due to the type of dust which has been vacuumed. 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. Figure

Open the lid by moving the locking lever in the direction of the arrow. Figure

a) Seal the dust bag by pulling the sealing strip and then remove it. b) Slide the new dust bag into the holder to the stop.

Caution: The lid can only be closed when a dust bag has been inserted. Cleaning the motor protection filter The motor protection filter should be cleaned regular- ly by knocking out the dirt and rinsing. Figure

Open the dust bag compartment lid (Figure

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 rinsed. Now leave the filter to dry for at least 24 hours.

After cleaning, slide the motor protection filter into the vacuum cleaner and close the dust bag compartment lid.

Caution: The vacuum cleaner must not be operated without the motor protection filter. Replacing the micro-hygiene filter When should you change the micro-hygiene filter? when starting a newpack of bags Figure
