• Push the slider on the telescoping tube down and set the desired length.

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

• Insert the open end of the telescoping tube in one of the enclosed suction nozzles up to the stop. Turn the nozzle back and forth slightly in the process.

• The suction nozzles can also be attached directly to the suction hose without the telescoping tube for more fl exibility.23 EN

• To remove a suction nozzle pull it off. Information regarding the animal hair fl oor nozzle: When the animal hair fl oor nozzle is removed it can happen that the adapter sleeve remains in place on the telescopic tube.

If something does get caught in the vacuum cleaner, turn it off immediately (depress the On/Off switch

■ Only turn on the vacuum cleaner once you are sure that all parts have been comple- tely mounted and that the dust bin and the fi lter have been properly inserted. ■ To prevent the cord from becoming too hot when in use, pull at least two thirds of its entire length out of the device before you switch on the vacuum cleaner. Do not forcefully pull out the cord up to the stop point (no further than up to the red mark on the cord) in order to prevent damage! ■ Always turn off the device fi rst and pull the mains plug out of the socket before you change a nozzle! ■ Do not in any case vacuum up the following: – Liquids or wet materials (such as wet carpet shampoo) – smouldering ashes, cigarette butts, matches etc. – fl ammable or ignitable materials – very fi ne dust (e.g. cement dust), ash or toner – hard, pointy objects such as bigger glass shards

1. Make sure that the respective accessory is properly mounted on the device (see

chapter “Assembly”).

2. Pull the mains cord only as far out of the housing as you need, ideally up to the yel-

low mark, but no further than up to the red mark on the cord!

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

4. Press the On/Off switch

to turn the vacuum cleaner on.EN 24

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

like a sled when vacuum cleaning. Am An auxiliary air valve is located on the handle. Slide the cover to open it, thereby reducing the suction power if you want to vacuum off cushions, carpets or light-weight, moveable objects or materials. Normally, the auxiliary air valve is closed so as not to unnecessarily reduce the suction power.

6. After vacuum cleaning, press the On/Off switch

again to turn off the vacuum cleaner.

for the cord winder down with your foot. By holding the mains cord, you prevent the cord from “lashing” against your legs for example.

9. To ensure optimum performance of the device, empty the dust bin each time after

using the device and clean the fi lter regularly (see chapter “Cleaning the device”). Cleaning the device ATTENTION! ■ Empty the dust bin when it is full and clean the fi lters regularly to avoid overheating the motor. ■ Before cleaning the device, always pull the power plug out of the socket. ■ Keep the device, cord and mains plug away from water or other liquids in order to avoid electrical shocks. When cleaning, make sure that no liquid penetrates the de- vice. Only the black dust fi lter, exhaust fi lters and the plastic fi lter may be cleaned with water. However, they must be completely dry when being placed back in the device. ■ The fi lters are not suitable for the washing machine, dishwasher or dryer! Only air dry the fi lters and do not in any case use a hair dryer. ■ Do not use any scouring or abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads for cleaning. They could damage the surface.

• Clean the dust fi lter and exhaust fi lter regularly or if you notice that the suction power is declining.

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

• Regularly remove hairs and lint from the nozzles.

• The fi lters may discolour over time. This is normal and also does not affect functionality.

• If the fi lter is damaged or worn, you can order a new fi lter at www.service-shopping.de.25 EN Emptying the dust container and cleaning the dust fi lter

1. Push the release button on the dust bin and pull it out of

Troubleshooting If your device no longer functions properly, exhibits damages or requires a spare part, please contact our customer service centre. For your own safety, do not perform any repairs yourself. The following table gives you tips on how to resolve minor problems yourself. Problem Potential cause/solution/tips The vacuum cleaner has no suction power.

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

• Is the nozzle, telescoping tube or suction hose plugged? Turn the device off, pull the mains plug out of the socket and remove the obstruction (also see chapter “Assembly”). The suction nozzles cannot be attached properly on the telescopic tube.

• Have you used the animal hair nozzle? When removing the animal hair nozzle it can happen that the adapter sleeve remains in place on the telescopic tube. Please note that the other suction nozzles can only be applied to the telescopic tube when the adapter sleeve has been removed from the tube! The device emits dust when vacuuming.

• Has the dust bin not been closed properly and/or is it not (properly) inserted in the device? Correct this. The power cord cannot be wound up completely.

• The cord has not been properly wound up in the device. Pull it out somewhat and then push the button for engaging the cord winder again.EN 28 Problem Potential cause/solution/tips An unpleasant odour develops when vacuuming.
