SAFETY DEVICES The device has two safety switches (8,12). The UV-C lamp (10) only switches on if both safety switches are pressed into the motor unit (3) (automatic switch-off func- tion of the UV-C lamp deactivated). This happens automatically when the device is placed on a flat surface. If the safety switches lose contact with the surface below, the automatic switch-off function is activated and the UV-C lamp stops being lit (automatic switch-off function of the UV-C lamp activated).

• Always clean mattresses on both sides.

TROUBLESHOOTING If the device does not work properly, check whether you are able to rectify the problem yourself. If the problem cannot be solved with the steps below, contact the customer service department. Do not attempt to repair an electrical device yourself! The device generates no suction. The mains plug is not inserted correctly in the plug socket. ► Correct the fit. The device is not switched on. ► Press the On / Off switch. Low suction force. The dust container is too full. ► Empty the dust container. The filters are dirty. ► Clean the filters. The suction opening is blocked. ► Switch off the device, pull the mains plug out of the plug socket and remove the blockage. The UV-C lamp does not light up. The automatic switch-off function of the UV-C lamp has been activated. ► Check the safety switches (see the “Safety Devices” chapter). The vibration head does not vibrate. The vibrating function has not been switched on. ► Press the vibration button. Unusual odour The device is being used for the first time. ► A new odour is normal when the device is used for the first time; it disappears after a while. DISPOSAL Please Note! ■ The UV-C lamp should be removed prior to disposal of the device and disposed of separately from the device. Notes on how to remove the UV-C lamp can be found in the “Cleaning and Storage” chapter – “Cleaning the UV-C Lamp”. Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner so that it can be recycled. The adjacent symbol (crossed-out bin underlined) means that used devices should not be disposed of in the domestic waste, but should instead be taken to special collec- tion and return systems. Owners of used devices from private households can take them free of charge to the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or the disposal points which are set up by manufacturers and distributors under the Electrical Equipment Act so that they can be disposed of in an environmen- tally friendly way and valuable raw materials can be recovered. If they are not disposed of properly, toxic ingredients may escape into the environment and cause harm to the health of humans, animals and plants. Businesses which market electrical and electronic devices are also obliged to take back used devices. Waste prevention makes an even more valuable contribution to protecting the environment. This means if possible, as well as continuing to use or repair a device yourself, passing it on to another user also represents an ecologically beneficial alternative to disposal.EN
