●
No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
●
This appliance is only intended for
domestic use and not for commercial
applications.
●
In order to comply with safety
regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs
of electrical appliances must be carried
out by qualified personnel, including the
replacement of the power cord. If repairs
are needed, please send the appliance to
one of our customer service departments.
The address can be found in the
appendix to this manual.
Before using for the first time
- Remove the appliance from its
packaging.
- Remove any exterior and interior
packaging materials and make sure that
the dust bag, the motor protection filter
and the Hepa-filter are correctly inserted.
Thermal safety cut-out
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with an
integral thermal safety cut-out, which
automatically switches the appliance off in
case of overheating (e.g. due to blockage in
the tube or filter). Should this occur, remove
the plug from the wall socket and let the
appliance cool down for a minimum of one
hour. The vacuum cleaner may then be used
again after the blockage has been removed.
Operation
- Put the vacuum cleaner in its horizontal
operating position.
- Insert the hose into the hose connection.
- Connect the tube to the hose grip.
- Attach any of the nozzles or tools
provided to the end of the tube. If the full
tube length is not required (e.g. when
using the crevice tool), the nozzle may be
attached directly to the hose grip.
- Pull out the power cord from its storage
to the necessary length (but not beyond
the red mark) and insert the plug into a
suitable wall socket.
- The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a
very powerful motor. In order to prevent
a fuse within your home electrical
installation from being triggered when it
is switched on, always set the power
regulator to its lowest setting before the
appliance is activated.
- The electronic suction power regulator
allows the suction power to be infinitely
adjusted to your needs.
- In addition, the suction power can be
decreased further by opening the
secondary air-flow opening slide in the
hose grip.
- Always start with a low setting when
cleaning soft objects such as curtains.
●
Always ensure that the power cord is not
routed around or runs over corners or
edges, and that it cannot be jammed in a
door.
- During operation, the hose may be used
to pull the unit along behind you.
However, when carrying the unit, always
use the carrying handle.
●
To prevent the power cord from being
pulled with excessive force, always
change to the next suitable wall socket
when cleaning larger areas.
- Switch off the appliance after use and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
- To retract the power cord automatically
into its storage, press the foot switch of
the retraction mechanism.
