Description and effectiveness

The three-step filter system of the water filter vacuum cleaner, which consists of a water filter, an intermediate filter and a HEPA filter, retains 99.99%* / 99.9%** of the particles taken up. The outgoing air is fresh and cleaned. As the water in the water filter binds the dirt particles, no dust is risen when emptying the water. Therefore, this appliance is also used for individuals suffering from allergies. * DS 6.000 Waterfilter ** DS 5.800 Waterfilter

Commissioning/ Operations

Caution! When the water tank is filled, the appliance may only be operated in the horizontal position. Prior to moving the appliance into the upright position, the water tank must be drained. Otherwise the floor can be damaged. Please take notice! Should, while turning the appliance on, the mains furse tripper shut off, possibly, other electrical appliances are connected and are operating on the same electric circuit. Should this be the case, put the appliance in its lowest power stage, before turning the appliance on. Afterwards you may select a higher power stage. Refer to chapter "Technical data" for power fuse protection. Important notice!The appliance will shutdown automatically, if there is danger of overheating. Turn the appliance off and pull the power plug. Replace the HEPA filter. After the elimination of the interference let the appliance cool down for a minimum of 1 hour, before using it again.

Illustration  Connect suction hose to the appliance.  Connect the handle to the telescopic vacuum pipe and attach the floor nozzle. Illustration  Activate the release and extend or retract the interior pipe to the desired length. Note: Adjust the telescoping pipe matching your height so that you will be 14

able to work comfortably while walking upright.

Fill the water filter reservoir

Caution Do not use the device if the water filter container is empty! When the appliance is delivered, the intermediate filter and the baffle plate are already installed. When filling, make sure that these components are installed properly (see: SCOPE OF DELIVERY). This could be the cause of poor vacuuming performance or untimely failure of the intermediate filter (see: FINISH OPERATION). Illustration  Open the appliance flap and remove the defoamer liquid (FoamStop) as well as the water filter container. Illustration  Remove the lid from the water filter container and take out the baffle plate, then fill the water filter container with tap water until the level settles between the MIN and MAX markings (approx. 1.7 l)! Illustration  Add one cap full of the defoaming liquid (FoamStop) to the water filter reservoir. Note: The functioning of the vacuum cleaner is based on the whirling of the suction air in the water filter. In the process, sucked-in materials and deposits of cleaning agents from floors get collected in the water bath. This can sometimes lead to the formation of foam. It is necessary to add a capful of the defoamer liquid to the water bath to avoid this situation. Slight foam formation is normal and does not hamper the functioning of the machine. Illustration  Note: Please refill water as soon as the water level in the reservoir sinks below the MIN mark. Insert the baffle plate and reattach the lid of the water filter container. Install the complete water filter container in the appliance.

Illustration  Pull the power cable out of the appliance completely. Illustration  Insert the appliance plug into the mains socket.  To switch on the appliance press the on/off switch. Caution Do not vacuum up large amounts of powdery materials such as cocoa, flour, laundry detergent, pudding powder or similar materials!

Working with the floor nozzle

Illustration  Switch off the appliance; press the on/ off foot switch to do so. Illustration  Insert the floor nozzle into the pickup on the appliance when taking a break.

Vacuuming hard surfaces

Illustration  Use your foot to press the reversing switch of the floor nozzle. The brush strips at the bottom of the floor nozzle are extended. Vacuuming carpeted floors Illustration  Use your foot to press the reversing switch of the floor nozzle. The brush strips at the bottom of the floor nozzle are retracted. Note: Due to the continuously high suction power of the appliance, the suction nozzles can vacuum with excessive force on carpets, upholstery, etc. In this case, use the false air slide to reduce the suction power. Close it again after use.

Working with the crevice nozzle and the upholstery nozzle

Note: The crevice and upholstery nozzles are stored in the appliance. Illustration  Open the accessories flap and take out the desired nozzle for working. Crevice nozzle for edges, joints, heaters and hard to reach locations.

Illustration  Turn off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug. Illustration  The cable is automatically retracted into the appliance by slightly pulling on the power cord. Cleaning the water filter system Caution Rinse the water filter container, the filter cover and the baffle plate under running water after each use and allow them to dry. Make sure that the guides of the baffle plate are also clean. Illustration  Remove the water filter reservoir from the appliance (see: FILLING THE WATER FILTER RESERVOIR). Illustration  Remove the lid from the reservoir and take out the baffle plate.  Empty the water filter container.

 Rinse the cover, the baffle plate and the water filter container under running water and allow them to dry.

Illustration  Clean/rinse the intermediate filter as necessary. (see: CARE, MAINTENANCE) Caution All parts of the water filter must be properly dried prior to assembly!

Caution Prior to storing the appliance, ensure that no water remains in the water filter container and all parts of the water filter system are properly dried.  Hold the appliance at the carrying handle when you want to transport it and store it in dry rooms. Illustration  The appliance can be stored in an upright position. On the bottom of the appliance there is an additional parking position for the floor nozzle.

 With normal use, replace the intermediate filter at least every 12 months, if necessary, it can be replaced sooner.

Note: The intermediate filter must be disposed off as residual waste.

Cleaning the appliance and accessories

Do not use abrasives, glass or universal cleaners! Never immerse the appliance in water. Illustration  Suction hose and handle can be disassembled for cleaning.  Check the accessories for obstructions and clean if necessary. Do not use water to clean the floor nozzle.

Clean the turbo floor nozzle

* depending on model Cut hair that is entangled in the roller brush along the cutting edge with a pair of scissors, and vacuum them off using the crevice nozzle.

Maintenance and Care

몇 Danger Turn off the appliance and remove the mains plug prior to any care and maintenance work.

Cleaning/replacing the intermediate filter

Note: Clean the intermediate filter at least every 8 weeks with normal use. If the suction performance is deteriorating, the filter must be cleaned sooner. Use a commerically available soft household sponge to clean the filter to avoid damaging the coated fins. Illustration  The individual fins of the intermediate filter can be cleaned under running water using the sponge.  Allow the filter to dry completely.

Note: In order to ensure an optimised cleaning performance and function of the appliance, this filter must be changed at least every 12 months. Replace sooner if damaged or extremely dirty.

Caution Do not rinse out the HEPA filter!  Remove the outgoing air flap. Illustration  Remove the HEPA filter.  Insert a new HEPA filter so that it "CLICKS" into place.  Reinstall the lid so it "CLICKS" into place.
