Vacuum-cleaning
!
Please note
Floor nozzles are subject to a certain amount of
wear, depending on the type of hard floors you have
(e.g. rough, rustic tiles). You should therefore check
the underside of the floor nozzles at regular inter-
vals. Worn undersides of floor nozzles may have
sharp edges that can damage delicate hard floors,
such as parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does
not accept any responsibility for damage caused by
worn floor nozzles.
11

Set the switchable floor nozzle as follows:
„ Rugs and carpets =>
„ Hard floors/parquet =>
If you are vacuuming up relatively large particles, make
sure that you vacuum them up successively and careful-
ly to ensure that the floor nozzle's air intake duct does
not become blocked.
If necessary, you should lift up the nozzle in order to
better vacuum up the dirt particles.
