Instructions for Use

Before using the machine, ensure the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds with the mains voltage. The machine is supplied with a dust bag and pre-filter.

Numbers refer to illustrations on pages 165-167.

Start and Stop

Start: Pull out the electric cable and plug the machine into a wall socket.

On/Off: Use the on/off button on the machine or the remote control on the handle (Superior models).

Power Adjustment: Power can be adjusted between 5 levels. The current setting is shown on the carrying handle (Comfort/Superior models). On Superior models, power can also be adjusted on the remote control (hose handle).

Stop

Turn off the machine and unplug. Grasp the plug, not the electric cable.

Connecting Hose, Tube and Nozzles

1. Insert the hose connector into the suction inlet until it engages with a “click” sound.
2. Connect the hose handle to the tube and twist until they engage with a click.
3. Connect the tube and nozzle and twist until they engage with a click.
4. The tube is telescopic and can be adjusted to your height. Pull the adjusting handle to extend the tube, and pull back to shorten to desired length.

Disengage

• Disengage the nozzle from the tube by pressing the button.
• Disengage the hose handle from the tube by pressing the button.
• To remove the hose connection from the suction inlet, press the button and disengage the hose.

Change of Dust Bag and Filters

The size and quality of the dust bag and filters affect machine efficiency. Using non-original dust bags or filters can cause restricted airflow, leading to machine overload. Using non-original parts will void the warranty. The machine is a completely airtight construction, ensuring that air and dirt entering the machine can only exit through the HEPA filter.

Changing the Dust Bag

The dust bag indicator shows when to change the dust bag. Always use original dust bags.

1. Open the lid by pushing the latch release in the direction of the arrows.
2. Remove the dust bag holder from the dust compartment.
3. Remove the dust bag from the holder. The dust bag can be closed by pulling the collar handle.
4. Insert the new dust bag by guiding the collar into the tracks of the bag holder.
5. Place the bag holder in the dust compartment. Check that the dust bag is correctly fitted.

Changing the Pre-filter

The pre-filter protects the motor by absorbing micro-particles that the dust bag cannot keep. Change the pre-filter with every fourth dust bag. The pre-filter is located behind the dust bag. Always use original filters.

1. Open the lid by pulling up the latch release.
2. Remove the bag holder with the bag from the dust compartment.
3. Open the pre-filter hatch by pulling the handle.
4. Take out the pre-filter.
5. Fit the new pre-filter (ensure text is readable) and close the pre-filter hatch.
6. Place the bag holder in the dust compartment. Check that the dust bag is correctly fitted.

Changing the HEPA Filter

The HEPA filter cleans the exhaust air from micro-particles that the dust bag cannot keep. The HEPA filter cannot be brushed or washed clean. Comfort and Superior models have a HEPA filter indicator that shows when to change the HEPA filter. For Classic models, change the HEPA filter for every 4th dust bag change. Always use original dust bags and filters.

1. Open the lid on the back of the machine by pulling the tap.
2. Take out the HEPA filter.
3. Insert the new HEPA filter. Check that the HEPA filter is correctly fitted. NB: Only touch the filter plastic frame.
4. Put the lid back and close by pushing the tap in. NB: Assure the lid is fully closed.

Adjust the Suction Power

All models have a five-step adjustment on the carrying handle. The suction power can also be adjusted on the remote handle of the Superior models.

Power regulation: The current level is shown on the carrying handle on Superior/Comfort models.

Battery Replacement in Hose Handle

1. Open the lid of the battery holder by sliding the lid towards the front of the hose handle.
2. Replace the used batteries with two new ones, type 1.5V AAA. Make sure the polarity of the batteries is placed correctly at the bracket.
3. Slide the battery lid back until you hear a click.

Parking the Tube and Nozzle

There are two grooves for parking: one on the underside of the machine for when it stands on its back, and one on the back of the machine for when it is standing on its wheels.

Thermal Fuse

The machine is fitted with a thermal fuse to prevent overheating. If the thermal fuse blows, the machine automatically switches off the motor and must cool down before it can be started again.

Restart

1. Turn off the machine and unplug from the wall socket.
2. Ensure that nothing blocks the airflow through the hose, handle, tube, nozzle, dust bag, or filters.
3. Let the machine cool.
4. Plug in the machine again and push the start button. The machine will not start until cool enough. If the machine does not start, turn it off and unplug. Try again later.

WARNING: When activating the automatic cable rewind, care must be taken as the plug at the end of the electric cable can swing during the last part of the rewinding. It is recommended that you hold onto the plug while rewinding.
