Vacuum cleaning

Installation or replacement of accessories

  • Only install device parts when the power plug has been disconnected from the socket.
  • Only use undamaged nozzles. Damaged nozzles can scratch surfaces.

For additional installation tips, see > Quick Start Guide > Installation.

When vacuuming

  • Make sure that you are always over the device, especially when vacuuming stairs. Otherwise the device may fall down and cause injuries.
  • Only use the device with a dust bag and the filters.
  • Follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions of the floor covering, carpet or furniture manufacturer!
  • Never pull out the connection cable beyond yellow marking. If the blue marking is visible, press the cable rewind button to retract the connection cable to the yellow marking. Otherwise, the connection cable may be overstrained and damaged.

  • Always ensure that the nozzle suitable for the surface is in place and the correct suction power is set.
  • If an object has accidentally been suctioned up, quickly actuate the bypass vent on the handle (Fig. 1) to reduce the suction power. For additional tips on operation, see > Quick Start Guide > Operation.

    • before prolonged storage or
    • before shipment.
