USE
• Pull the cord out of the vacuum cleaner.
The cord may not be pulled out further
than the red mark. Plug in and switch
the current on.
•Press the on/off button (13) to start and
stop the vacuum cleaner.
• While in use, the suction force can be
regulated by opening and closing the
air valve (2) on the handle (1). It can
also be adjusted electronically using the
suction force regulation button (14).
• The nozzles are to be used as follows:
Floor nozzle (18) Floors, carpets and
rugs
Extra nozzle for
hard floors (20) Hard floors
Furniture nozzle (21) Furniture, curtains,
drapes, etc.
Joint nozzle (22) Radiators, corners,
skirtings, etc.
Brush nozzle (23) Shelves, books,
lampshades, etc.
• The floor nozzle (18) has two settings.
When cleaning hard surfaces (parquet
flooring, flooring tiles, etc.), the nozzle
brushes should be extended. When
cleaning carpets and mats, the brushes
should be retracted into the nozzle.
Press the brush change button (19) to
switch between the two settings. The
brushes under the extra nozzle for hard
floors (20) cannot be retracted.
• If the bag change indicator (16) is red
when using the vacuum cleaner, or if
the suction force is significantly
reduced, the dust bag must be
changed. If the indicator is still red after
the bag has been replaced, it may be
due to one of the following reasons:
• The hose or nozzle is
blocked/clogged.
• The motor filter or air filter is dirty.
• Investigate what is causing the
indicator to show red and deal with the
problem. The vacuum cleaner must not
be used if the indicator is red. This may
cause irreparable motor failure.
CHANGING THE DUST BAG
• If the vacuum’s suction force is
reduced, this may be because the bag
needs changing. Raise the floor nozzle
off the floor, set the suction force
regulation (14) to MAX, switch on the
vacuum cleaner using the on/off button
(13), and keep an eye on the bag
change indicator (16). If it is red, the
bag must be changed.
• Remove the hose. Pull the handle for
opening the dust bag container (10),
and open the vacuum cleaner.
•Grasp the millboard at the top of the
dust bag and carefully remove the bag
from the vacuum cleaner.
• Throw the bag in the bin. Make sure
that there are no holes in it. Do not fold
it.
• Insert a new dust bag in the vacuum
cleaner. The vacuum cleaner must
never be used without a dust bag.
• Close the vacuum cleaner again.
• Always replace the bag after sweeping
up large quantities of (very) fine material
such as fine sand, cement, flour, etc.
CLEANING THE MOTOR FILTER
• The motor filter can be found in the
dust bag container. It protects the
motor from dust and should be cleaned
at least twice a year, when it is dirty, or
if suction force is reduced.
• Pull the filter holder up out of the
vacuum cleaner.
•Open the filter holder, and remove the
filter. Rinse the filter in tepid water, and
allow it to dry completely. Do not use a
hair dryer or similar to dry the filter.
