Assembly Instructions

WARNING

Always disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet before assembling or disassembling accessories!

Push until you hear a click – the end has snapped into the correct position (Fig. 1). To remove the hose, press the lock button and pull out the hose. Suction power can be adjusted manually on the hose handle. Closed slider – stronger airflow. Open slider – weaker airflow.
2. Attaching the telescopic tube to the hose end: Slide the telescopic tube onto the hose end and rotate it slightly.
3. Extending the telescopic tube: Press the plastic latch and pull the smaller tube outwards.
4. Attaching the floor nozzle to the telescopic tube: Slide the telescopic tube into the floor nozzle and rotate it slightly. Using the switch (Fig. 2), you can turn on the brush function on the floor nozzle (for hard floors), or turn it off to vacuum carpets (for carpets).

How to Use the Vacuum Cleaner

Before using the vacuum cleaner, ensure that the filters and dust container are correctly placed and secured. Unwind the power cord to the appropriate length. The yellow mark on the power cord indicates the ideal cord length. Do not unwind the power cord beyond the red mark!

Troubleshooting

Maintenance

Checking the Dust Container Fill Level

If the vacuum cleaner's suction power decreases, even when the floor nozzle is lifted from the floor, the dust container should be emptied immediately.

Note: If the suction power remains low even after emptying the dust container, there may be several reasons:

• Some air passages are blocked (hose, telescopic tube, suction opening, floor nozzle, or other attachment).
• The air inlet filter in the dust container is dirty or worn. It should be cleaned or replaced with a new one.
• The air outlet filter is dirty or worn. It should be cleaned or replaced with a new one.

Check each of the listed possibilities, and before the next use of the appliance, resolve the problem. If you cannot identify the cause of the problem, take the appliance to the nearest service center. Never use the appliance when suction power is low, as this could lead to irreversible damage to the motor.

It is recommended to empty the dust container and clean the vacuum cleaner filters preventatively after each use.

Emptying the Dust Container

1. Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains, remove the hose from the suction opening.
2. Press the latch on the vacuum cleaner body (Fig. 3) and pull the dust container upwards.
3. Remove the lid from the dust container and empty the dust into a waste bin.
4. After closing the container, place it back into the vacuum cleaner. Ensure the container is properly fitted. You should hear the handle latches click.

Replacing Filters

Filters should be cleaned or replaced if they are visibly dirty, or if the vacuum cleaner's suction power decreases. They should be checked after each use of the vacuum cleaner.

To prevent damage to the vacuum cleaner, do not use it without properly fitted filters.

Before replacing filters, disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet.

You can purchase suitable filter types from your dealer or order them from the manufacturer.

Checking and Replacing the Air Outlet Filter

1. Press and open the air outlet grille at the rear of the vacuum cleaner (Fig. 4).
2. Remove the filter.
3. The filter can be cleaned by shaking. If it is heavily soiled, it can be washed in lukewarm water and left to dry completely.
4. Insert the cleaned or new air outlet filter and close the air outlet grille.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Accessories and the vacuum cleaner can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Do not immerse the power cord, plug, or appliance in water or any other liquid. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as solvents or abrasive materials!

Service

More complex maintenance or repairs requiring intervention in the internal components of the product should be performed by a qualified specialist or service center.
