• The vacuum cleaner can now be plugged in. To do so, pull out the cord and
press the button (6) to switch it on. A yellow mark on the cable indicates
the ideal length of the cable.
• The suction power can be adapted to the surface to be vacuumed. The suc-
tion power can be adjusted mechanically by opening or closing the mecha-
nism on the handle (11) or by means of the electronic power regulator (2).
• Never wash the HEPA filter or any of the other filters in the washing ma-
chine.
• If you wish, use the handle (3) to carry the vacuum cleaner while using it
to get into difficult places. The protective rubber wheels, the carrying handle
and the vacuum cleaner's compact size make it extremely easy to move
around.
• When finished, switch the appliance off by pressing button (6). Unplug it
and press button (1) to wind up the cord. Hold the cord plug in your hand
to prevent it from banging against the vacuum cleaner housing.
• For storage, place upright and insert the clip on the telescopic tube (13) into
one of the slots on the bottom of the vacuum cleaner. (Fig. 1)
CLEANING THE DUST CONTAINER:
NOTE: Before starting to clean the container, make sure you have un-
plugged the appliance.
• Once you have finished using the appliance, we recommend cleaning the
container (7), the metallic cyclone filter (19) and the HEPA filter (21).
• The dust container should be emptied when the dust collected in the con-
tainer reaches maximum capacity level (20). The container full pilot light (22)
may come on at times if something becomes lodged in the flexible tube,
suction opening or accessory. To find out if that is the case, unplug the
vacuum cleaner, remove the flexible tube, and turn the vacuum cleaner on
again. If the pilot light does not come on, clean the flexible tube and its
attachment.
• When you need to empty the dust container, disconnect the appliance and
proceed as follows:
1. To remove the dust container (7) pull up the container handle (8) while
pressing the container removal button (16) (fig. 2)
2. Place the container over the rubbish bin.
3. To open the container, press the automatic opening button (17) and
empty the dust into the rubbish bin (fig. 3).
4. To close the container, move the bottom cover of the container (18) forward
and press it upwards until you hear a click that indicates that the con-
tainer cover is closed correctly (fig. 4).
5. Place the dust container back in the vacuum cleaner and push the con-
tainer flush against the bottom until you hear a click, which means it is in
the correct position (fig. 5).
