Plug the charging cable into the connection at the rear of the appliance.
Plug the charging cable plug into the socket.
The charging indicator flashes during the charging process.
Once the battery is fully charged, the charging indicator lights up in blue and no longer flashes.
- it is normal for the charging cable and hand vacuum cleaner to become hot and not a cause for concern.

Vacuuming

Fig. 5

- Move the on/off button in the direction of the arrow.

Controlling the suction level

Fig. 6

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

Power level 1 1

Vacuuming without the electric brush switched on. For routine cleaning tasks 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 difficult cleaning tasks at an average run time.

* Depending on model

Power Level 3 / Turbo Mode 3 / Turbo

Vacuuming at full power and with the electric brush switched on. For stubborn cleaning tasks on all surfaces (carpets, in particular) and when using an optional accessory. The appliance achieves a shorter run time at this level.

Runtime

The runtime time stated here may vary due to charge status, battery temperature and battery age etc.

	For 1,95Ah battery
Runtime Athlet	Athlet 18V	25,2V	Athlet 28V
Level 1: Up to 40 min.	Up to 60 min.	Up to 65 min.
Level 2: Up to 30 min.	Up to 30 min.	Up to 30 min.
Level 3 / Turbo mode:	Up to 10 min.	Up to 12 min.	Up to 12 min.

Level 1: Up to 75 min Up to 80 min.
Level 2 Up to 37 min Up to 37 min
Level 3 / Turbo mode: Up to 12 min. Up to 12 min.

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.

Vacuuming with accessories

Fig. 8\*

a) Fasten the carrying strap to the short handle provided.
b) Remove the long handle from the main housing.
c) Insert the short handle and lock it in place.
d) Remove the hand-held vacuum cleaner from the floor nozzle. Fig. 2
e) Plug the accessory adapter into the hand-held vacuum cleaner and lock it in place.

Fig. 9\*

Fit nozzles as required to the flexible hose with the accessory adapter handle:

• Upholstery nozzle for vacuuming upholstered furniture, curtains, etc.
• Crevice nozzle for vacuuming crevices and corners, etc.
• Upholstery crevice nozzle for vacuuming upholstery, ideal for cleaning car seats in particular
• Secure the drill dust nozzle to the handle and then place against the wall, so that the nozzle drill hole opening sits directly over the hole to be drilled.

After using the appliance

Fig. 10

●Switch off the appliance after vacuuming.

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

- Using the release button, 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.

Your appliance is equipped with a "Sensor Control" function.

This function constantly monitors whether your vacuum cleaner is working at its optimum power level. The indicator light lets you know when you need to clean the filter cartridge, so that the appliance can reach its optimum power level once more.

Fig. 15 Sensor Control

The indicator lights up blue or is off when the appliance is working at its optimum level. Once the indicator turns red and flashes, the outer filter unit and filter cartridge must be cleaned.

The appliance is automatically adjusted to power level 1.

Fig. 16 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.

Fig. 17 Cleaning the filter cartridge

●Switch off the appliance.
- Remove the dust container from the appliance.
Fig. 12
●Take the filter unit out of the dust container. Fig. 13

a) Turn the filter cartridge lid anti-clockwise and remove the filter cartridge from the filter unit.

b) Firstly, clean the filter cartridge by tapping out the dirt.
c) Pull out the foam filter from the motor protection and rinse separately.

Allow the foam filter and motor protection filter to dry completely (approx. 24 hours)

d) After fitting the foam filter, insert the filter cartridge into the dust container.
e) Insert the filter cartridge into the filter unit and lock it by turning the lid clockwise.

If, after hand-washing the filter cartridge, the "Sensor Control" indicator flashes red again, the filter cartridge is so heavily soiled that it must be washed in a washing machine. Use a gentle programme at max. 30 °C and the lowest spin speed.

New filters can be obtained from our after-sales service, if required.

Cleaning the floor tool

Before carrying out any maintenance, switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect it from the charging cable.

Fig. 18

a) Release the brush roller using the release button and pull it sideways out of the floor tool.
b) Using the groove provided, cut through threads and hairs wound round the rollers with scissors and then remove them.
c) Push the brush roller in sideways along the guide rod in the floor tool and lock in place using the release button.

! Caution: The floor tool must only be put into operation with the brush roller fitted.

Care

Before cleaning the hand vacuum cleaner, it must be switched off and disconnected from the charging cable. The vacuum cleaner and plastic accessories can be cleaned with an ordinary plastic cleaner.

! Caution: Do not use abrasive materials, glass-cleaning agents or all-purpose cleaning products. Never immerse the vacuum cleaner in water.

Subject to technical modifications.
