With the foot switch, you can switch between smooth fl oor and carpet. A brush is deployed on the bottom for smooth fl oors. Tile / brush nozzle Turn the end piece in the direction of the arrow to convert the tile nozzle into a brush nozzle:

• The tile nozzle is suitable for cushions, cleaning the inside of passenger vehicles as well as all nooks and crannies that can’t be reached with other nozzles.

• The brush nozzle is suitable for all uneven objects, furniture, lamps, profi ling strips and skirting boards, window sills etc. Assembly Inserting/removing the suction hose

• Insert the connection piece of the suction hose in the suction opening on the device and turn it slightly clockwise. It must audibly lock into place.

• To remove the suction hose turn it slightly anticlockwise and pull the hose out at the same time. Inserting / removing the telescopic tube

• Insert the open end of the handle into the corresponding opening of the telescopic tube. At the same time twist the handle gently backwards and forwards. Afterwards, check the connection for secure seating.

• To remove the telescopic tube, pull it out of the handle. Adjusting the length of the telescopic tube

• Pull the slider (A) on the telescopic tube down and set the desired length.

• Release the slider and move the tube forward until it locks into place. AEN 20 Mounting / removing suction nozzles

• Insert the free end of the telescopic tube as far as it will go into one of the suction nozzles supplied. At the same time twist the nozzle gently backwards and forwards.

• For greater fl exibility the suction nozzles can also be connected directly to the suc- tion hose without using the telescopic tube.

• To remove a suction nozzle simply pull it out. Operation NOTE! ■ Only turn on the vacuum cleaner once you are sure that all parts have been com- pletely assembled and that all fi lters are correctly inserted. ■ To ensure that the mains cable does not heat up during operation, pull at least two thirds of its entire length out of the device housing before switching on the vacuum cleaner. In order to avoid damage do not tug out the mains cable as far as it will go (no further than the red mark on the cable)!

1. If you have not already done so, attach the desired suction nozzle to the telescopic

tube or suction hose (see chapter “Assembly”, section “Mounting / removing suction nozzles” and chapter “Product contents and device overview”, section “Suction nozzles”).

2. Pull the mains cable out of the housing, ideally as far as the yellow mark but in any

case no further than the red mark on the cable!

3. Insert the mains plug in a properly installed socket that is easily accessible.

On / Off switch to turn the vacuum cleaner on.

5. Move the nozzle over the surface you want to clean. You can pull the vacuum cleaner

like a sled when vacuum cleaning. Tipp: There is an auxiliary airfl ow vent on the handle. Open this (by sliding the cover) in order to reduce the suction power when vacuuming upholstery, carpets or lightweight, easily movable objects. The auxiliary airfl ow vent should normally be kept closed so that the suction power is not unnecessarily reduced.

6. After vacuum cleaning, press the

On / Off switch again to turn off the device.

7. Remove the mains plug from the mains socket, hold on to the mains cable and press

the cable retraction button with your foot. By holding the mains cable, you prevent it from lashing against body parts such as your legs.

8. For optimum performance, empty the dust container after each use and clean

the cyclone insert, motor fi lters and HEPA exhaust air fi lter regularly (see chapter “Cleaning and care”).21 EN Cleaning and care NOTE! ■ Empty the dust container when it reaches the MAX mark and clean the cyclone in- sert, motor fi lters and HEPA exhaust air fi lter regularly in order to prevent the motor from overheating. ■ Do not clean the HEPA exhaust air fi lter with water! ■ Do not use any corrosive or abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads for cleaning. They could damage the surface. Over time the fi lters may become discoloured. This is normal and does not affect the functionality. Emptying the dust container

1. Push the release button of the dust container and take it

out of the device by the handle.

2. Hold the dust container over an open dustbin. The dust

container should be as close as possible to the dustbin so that the dust from the container falls only into the bin and is not spread over the surrounding area.

3. Press the button to open the dust container. The bottom

of the dust container will open and the dirt will fall out.

4. Shut the dust container bottom again. The fastener must

audibly lock into place.

5. Put the dust container in the device: Take it by the handle and insert it bottom fi rst

into the device. Then push the handle towards the device housing until the dust container audibly clicks into place. Hold the device by the dust container handle and lift it up to check that the dust container is correctly locked into place. Cleaning the cyclone insert and motor fi lters The cyclone insert is situated inside the dust container. The motor fi lters are situated in the fi lter holder on the cyclone insert.

3. Remove the lid with the cyclone insert (B) from the dust

holder (C) and remove the foam fi lter. Please note: The second motor fi lter is attached to the fi lter holder and cannot be removed from the holder!

5. Tap out all the parts over a bin and brush away any loose

6. You can clean the cyclone insert and dust container with a damp cloth.

7. After drying, place the foam fi lter back into the fi lter holder and replace the holder

onto the cyclone insert. Close the lid so that it audibly locks into place. Attention: Never put damp parts back into the dust container!

8. When all parts are dry, replace the cyclone insert in the dust container.

9. Put the lid on the dust container so that the arrow symbol on the dust container

points to the symbol on the lid. Close the lid by turning it as far as it will go. The arrow symbol should now be pointing to the symbol.

10. Put the dust container in the device. Make sure that it audibly locks into place.

Cleaning the HEPA exhaust air fi lter The HEPA exhaust air fi lter is situated behind the protective grill on the back of the vacuum cleaner.

1. Pull down the exhaust hatch latch with fi lter (D) and

remove the hatch simultaneously.

2. Tap it out over a garbage bin. If necessary, clean it with

a soft brush. Attention: Do not clean the HEPA exhaust air fi lter with water!

3. Brush or wipe the fi lter compartment if required.

4. Place the exhaust hatch with fi lter in the device and close

the hatch. The hatch must audibly lock into place. Cleaning the housing and nozzles

• If needed, clean the housing with a damp, soft cloth.

• Regularly remove hair and lint from the nozzles. Storage

• For storage you hook the fl oor nozzle into the holder on the back of the device (see fi gure) and close down the telescopic tube as far as it will go.

• Store the vacuum cleaner in a cool dry indoor room where it cannot be reached by children or animals.

D23 EN Troubleshooting If the device should stop working properly, fi rst check whether you are able to correct the problem yourself. Do not attempt to repair a defective electrical device yourself! Problem Possible cause / solution The vacuum cleaner has no suction power.

• Is the mains plug not correctly connected with a socket? Correct the position of the mains plug.

• Is the socket defective? Try another socket.

• Check the fuse for your mains connection. The suction performance is poor.

• Is the suction power set too low on the suction power control? Turn the suction power control more towards MAX.

• Is the auxiliary air vent on the handle open? Close it.

• Is the dust container too full? Empty the container.

• Are the fi lters heavily laden with dirt? Clean the cyclone insert, motor fi lters and HEPA exhaust air fi lter.

• Is the nozzle, telescopic tube or suction hose clogged? Turn the device off, pull the mains plug out of the socket and remove the obstruction (also see chapter “Assembly”). The device emits dust when vacuuming.

• Has the dust container not been closed properly and/or is it not (properly) inserted in the device? Correct this.

• Are the fi lters heavily laden with dirt? Clean the cyclone insert, motor fi lters and HEPA exhaust air fi lter. The mains cable will not completely retract.

• The mains cable has not been correctly retracted into the device. Pull it out a little and press the cable retraction button again. An unpleasant odour develops when vacuuming.
