• The manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused by improper use of the appliance and accessories, and is not liable under warranty if the above safety warnings are not followed. Improper use of the appliance includes, but is not limited to, failure to follow regular replacement or maintenance of all filters according to the instructions in chapters IV, V, VI, and the use of non-original filters, which due to their properties have led to the malfunction or damage of the vacuum cleaner.

Using the Appliance

• The appliance is intended for household use and similar purposes (in shops, offices, and similar workplaces, in hotels, motels, and other residential environments, in boarding houses)! It is not intended for commercial use!
• When handling the vacuum cleaner, avoid contact (e.g., with loose clothing, hair, fingers, jewelry, bracelets, etc.) with the rotating brush.
• Do not leave the floor brush with the rotating brush switched on in one place for too long! This could damage the surface being vacuumed!
• The floor brush with the rotating brush is not intended for vacuuming carpets with high pile!
• Never use the vacuum cleaner or touch the adapter with wet hands or feet!
• Never vacuum without the filtration system and microfilters properly installed.
• Always switch off the vacuum cleaner when charging the battery and after use.
• Charge the battery at normal room temperature. Do not expose the battery to temperatures above 50 °C. This prevents damage to the battery.
• If air passages/components become blocked (e.g., accessories), switch off the vacuum cleaner and completely remove the cause of the blockage.
• Do not vacuum wet or damp floor coverings, do not use the vacuum cleaner outdoors! If moisture penetrates the unit, there is a risk of damage and operational failure. This type of defect is not covered by warranty.
• Do not vacuum water, liquids, or aggressive liquids!
• Do not vacuum sharp objects (e.g., glass, shards), hot, flammable, explosive objects (e.g., ash, burning cigarette butts, gasoline, thinners, and aerosol vapors), or greases (e.g., fats, oils), corrosive substances (e.g., acids, solvents). Vacuuming these objects can damage the filters or the vacuum cleaner.
• When vacuuming very fine dust, the filter pores can become clogged. This reduces air passage and suction power weakens. Therefore, in such cases, the filters must be cleaned even if the container is not yet full. Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum dirt produced during/after construction work, such as drywall dust, fine sand, cement, construction dust, plaster parts, etc. If these impurities/loose construction materials enter the unit, there is a risk of damage and operational failure. This type of defect is not covered by warranty.
• Do not use the appliance in a damp or wet environment and in any environment with a risk of fire or explosion (areas where chemicals, fuels, oils, gases, paints, and other flammable or volatile substances are stored).
• WARNING: Improper use of the appliance, which is not in accordance with the user manual, carries a risk of injury.

III. Preparing the Vacuum Cleaner

Remove all packaging materials and take out the vacuum cleaner and accessories. Remove any adhesive films, stickers, or paper from the vacuum cleaner.

Assembling the Vacuum Cleaner

Follow Fig. 1 for assembly. Choose the appropriate accessory according to the intended use (handheld vacuum cleaner / stick vacuum cleaner) (Fig. 7). For disassembly, proceed in the reverse order and release the locking elements.

Charging the Battery

Switch off the vacuum cleaner before charging! Connect the adapter to the charging connector A9 and then to the mains. Before first use, the battery must be charged for at least 8 hours. After that, the standard charging time is approximately 4 hours. The charging status and progress are indicated by the light signalization A4. A fully charged battery provides an operating time of approximately 25/40 minutes (ETA0231/ETA1231).

Light Signalization of Operation and Charging (A4)

Note

• Charge the vacuum cleaner immediately when the suction power decreases.
• After intensive work or in a hot environment, the battery may be too hot to charge. Let the battery cool down before charging.

Mounting the Plastic Wall Mount

Attach the plastic wall mount J to the wall using the provided or other suitable fastening material. Note: Ensure the electrical socket is sufficiently close to the mounted plastic wall mount. Be careful not to have electrical, telephone, or water installations, etc., behind the wall at the mounting point of the plastic wall mount.

V. Removing the Dust Container and Filter

Removing the Dust Container

Follow Fig. 2 to remove the dust container B. Dispose of the collected dirt with regular household waste. Reinsert the empty and cleaned container back into the vacuum cleaner in the reverse order.

Replacing the Inlet Filter

Follow Fig. 2 to remove the filter. Insert the new/cleaned filter into the vacuum cleaner in the reverse order.

VI. Cleaning and Maintenance

Notes

• For hygienic reasons, we recommend emptying the container and cleaning the filters after each use.
• Maximum suction power is always achieved with clean filters and an empty dust container.
• We recommend cleaning the filters after each emptying of the dust container.
• When vacuuming very fine dust, the filter pores can become clogged. This reduces air passage and suction power weakens. Therefore, in such cases, the filters must be cleaned even if the container is not yet full.
• Clean the surface of the vacuum cleaner and adapter with a soft damp cloth; do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents.

Accessories

After each vacuuming, visually check the brushes or collectors for trapped dirt and remove it.

Floor Nozzle with Rotating Brush

Remove dirt (especially hair, animal hair, etc.) that has become trapped on the brush. For easier cleaning, you can remove the brush (Fig. 4).

Dust Container

Clean the surface and interior of container B with a soft damp cloth. Rinse separator B4 under running water. Lightly tap out textile filter B3. Let everything dry thoroughly before reuse. Note: Never rinse container B under running water or immerse it in water. It contains electronic parts for driving the brush in the floor nozzle Ea/Eb, which could be damaged.

HEPA Filter

Gently tap or blow out the HEPA filter A7 (we recommend doing this outside the living area). If heavily soiled, you can rinse the HEPA filter under lukewarm running water. Then let it dry thoroughly.

Note

• Do not use any aggressive detergents or cleaning agents or hot water to clean the filters.
• For maintaining the filtration parameters of the HEPA filter, we recommend dry cleaning.
• If you decide to wash the HEPA filter with water, its filtration capabilities will decrease.
• The maximum number of washes for the filter is 3 times. After that, you must purchase a new one.
• We recommend replacing the HEPA filter twice a year. Replace other filters when they can no longer be cleaned properly or are damaged.
• Filters are not intended for washing in a dishwasher.
• Failure to clean and replace filters may lead to vacuum cleaner malfunction!
• Ensure that the contact surfaces and sealing elements are clean and functional.

VII. Storage

Store the appliance properly cleaned, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Always store the vacuum cleaner in a dry place, at a sufficient distance from heat sources (e.g., fireplace, stove, heater). The plastic wall mount J (Fig. 6) is used for storing the assembled vacuum cleaner.
