The filters are not fitted correctly. ► Correct the fit of the filters. The filters are dirty. ► Clean the filters. The filters are worn or damaged. ► Replace the filters. The charge control lamps (13) do not flash when the device is connected to the mains power. The power supply is not inserted in the plug socket correctly or the barrel connector is not inserted in the charging socket(14) of the device correctly. ► Correct the fit. The plug socket is defective. ► Try another plug socket. 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. 02026_02046_02076_Inlay_de-en-fr-nl_A5_V4.indb 2002026_02046_02076_Inlay_de-en-fr-nl_A5_V4.indb 20 23.10.2023 14:02:4523.10.2023 14:02:45Cordless Handheld & Floor Vacuum Cleaner

DISPOSAL Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly man- ner 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 must remove from the used device any used batteries or rechargeable batteries which are not encapsulat- ed by the used device and can be removed in a non-destructive way and dispose of them separately (see also the section on battery disposal). 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 Electri- cal 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. (Rechargeable) batteries must not be disposed of along with the household waste. Consumers are legally obliged to dispose of (re- chargeable) batteries separately. (Rechargeable) batteries can be handed in free of charge at a col- lection point of the local authority/ district or in retailers so that they can be disposed of in an environ- mentally 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. Only dispose of (rechargeable) batteries when they are dis- charged. If possible, use recharge- able batteries rather than sin- gle-use batteries. In the case of (rechargeable) batteries containing lithium, tape over the poles before you dispose of them to prevent a short circuit. A short circuit may cause a fire or explosion. 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 anoth- er user also represents an ecologically beneficial alternative to disposal. 02026_02046_02076_Inlay_de-en-fr-nl_A5_V4.indb 2102026_02046_02076_Inlay_de-en-fr-nl_A5_V4.indb 21 23.10.2023 14:02:4523.10.2023 14:02:45EN
