Frequently Asked Questions - AS 59 IK Ghibli & Wirbel

How to use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum dust?

To vacuum dust, ensure that the polyester filter and paper bag (if present) are installed. Plug in the power cord, turn on the switch (position 'I'). For dual motor models, you can activate both motors for more power. Use the accessories suitable for the type of surface.

How to use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum liquids?

To vacuum liquids, remove the polyester filter and paper bag. Plug in the power cord, turn on the appliance. Ensure the recovery tank does not overflow: the noise increases when the tank is full, then stop the appliance and empty it.

How to change the paper dust bag?

Unclip the clips and remove the lid with the motor unit. Remove the polyester filter. Remove the used paper bag and install a new bag by engaging the collar into the nozzle. Replace the polyester filter and the lid, then lock the clips.

How to clean the polyester filter?

Unclip the clips, remove the lid and the polyester filter. Clean it with an air jet from the inside out. If it is very dirty, you can wash it with lukewarm water. Let it dry completely before putting it back in place.

What to do if suction is weak?

Check if the paper bag is full (replace it), if the filters are dirty (clean them), if the hoses or accessories are clogged, or if the squeegee of the nozzle is worn. Inspect each item and clean or replace if necessary.

How to adjust the suction force?

On models with an ergonomic handle, you can adjust the suction force by operating the selector on the handle. Opening the window reduces the suction force.

How to empty the tank after vacuuming liquids?

Unclip the clips and remove the lid. Tilt the tank to empty it. On some models, use the drain tube: remove the tube, unscrew the cap and drain. For tilting tank models, loosen the lock and tilt the tank.

How to use an electric brush with this vacuum cleaner?

If your model is equipped with a socket, lift the socket cover and connect the electric brush (max 200 W). The brush will then be powered during vacuuming.

What are the important safety instructions?

Never vacuum flammable, explosive, corrosive, toxic, or hot substances. Do not use the appliance in an explosive environment. Always unplug the power cord before any maintenance. Do not wash the appliance with water jets.

What to do if the vacuum cleaner does not start?

Check that the switch is in the 'I' position. Make sure the plug is properly connected. Check the electrical supply (fuse, circuit breaker). If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.
