NOTE:
Your cylinder vacuum cleaner is equipped with a safety switch to prevent
overheating. It will switch off automatically if overheated (e.g. due to
clogged suction channels).
If this happens:
Switch off the vacuum cleaner.
Pull the plug from the power socket.
Eliminate the cause of the overheating.
Wait for about 45 minutes.
After it has cooled off, you may switch on the vacuum cleaner again.
1. Pull out the cord by the plug up to the yellow mark (Fig. 6/1).
WARNING:
Danger of electric shock! If the red marking (Fig. 6/2) shows, press the
cord retracting button (Fig. 6/3) to pull in the cord up to the yellow mark
(Fig. 6/1). Otherwise, the power cord may be damaged.
2. Insert the mains plug into a socket with ground/safety contact.
3. Press the On/Off switch with integrated suction power control (Fig. 6/4)
to switch on the vacuum cleaner.
4. Turn the On/Off switch with integrated suctions power control (Fig. 6/4)
to adjust the suction power to the type of floor to be vacuumed.
NOTE:
In normal situations the bypass vent (Fig. 6/5) must be completely
closed. With the bypass vent you can quickly reduce the suction power,
e.g. to release curtains that have accidentally been sucked in.
5. If using the floor nozzle, set the "carpet/hard floor" selector according to
the type of floor to be cleaned (Fig. 7/1):
for deep- and short-pile carpets, runners (Fig. 7/A)
for hard floors such as parquet, tiles, PVC etc. (Fig. 7/B).
6. When working with the vacuum cleaner, pull it after you like a sleigh.
1. Press the On/Off switch with integrated suction power control (Fig. 6/4)
to switch off the vacuum cleaner.
2. Pull the plug out of the plug socket.
3. Keep the plug in your hand.
4. To retract the power cord, push the cord retracting button (Fig. 6/3).
Carry the cylinder vacuum cleaner only by the carrying-handle (Fig. 8/
A1) or by the recessed handle (Fig. 8/B1).
For storage you can park the tube using the parking-hook of the floor
nozzle (Fig. 8/A) or put it away (Fig. 8/B).
If you want to store the appliance for a prolonged period, remove the
dust filter bag Chapter 5.1, "Changing the dust filter bag" and dispose of
it properly. Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of chil-
dren.
ATTENTION:
Never store the appliance next to heat sources (e.g. stoves or radiators).
