CHANGING THE DUST BAG
• If the vacuum’s suction force is reduced, this
may be because the bag needs changing.
Raise the floor nozzle off the floor, set the
suction force regulation (14) to MAX, switch
on the vacuum cleaner using the on/off
button (13), and keep an eye on the bag
change indicator (16). If it is red, the bag
must be changed.
• Remove the hose. Pull the handle for
opening the dust bag container (10), and
open the vacuum cleaner.
• Grasp the millboard at the top of the dust
bag and carefully remove the bag from the
vacuum cleaner.
• Throw the bag in the bin. Make sure that
there are no holes in it. Do not fold it.
• Insert a new dust bag in the vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner must never be used
without a dust bag.
• Close the vacuum cleaner again.
• Always replace the bag after sweeping up
large quantities of (very) fine material such as
fine sand, cement, flour, etc.
CLEANING THE MOTOR FILTER
• The motor filter can be found in the dust bag
container. It protects the motor from dust
and should be cleaned at least twice a year,
when it is dirty, or if suction force is reduced.
• Pull the filter holder up out of the vacuum
cleaner.
• Open the filter holder, and remove the filter.
Rinse the filter in tepid water, and allow it to
dry completely. Do not use a hair dryer or
similar to dry the filter.
• Return the filter to the holder, and replace
the filter holder in the vacuum cleaner.
• Important! Never use the vacuum cleaner
without a motor filter.
CHANGING THE AIR FILTER
• The air filter filters the exhaust air from the
vacuum cleaner. The filter is a HEPA type
and filters up to 99.97 % of the air that flows
through the vacuum cleaner.
• The filter can be found under the exhaust
grille (11). To change the filter, press together
the handle for removing the exhaust grille
(12) and lift the exhaust grille up.
• Remove the used filter and replace it with a
new one. Replace the exhaust grille.
• We recommend replacing the air filter after 4
to 6 months’ use, when it becomes dirty, or
if the vacuum cleaner’s suction force is
reduced.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
• You can lift and carry the vacuum cleaner
using the carrying handle (7). Never pull or
lift the vacuum cleaner by the cord.
• Before putting the vacuum away, rewind the
cord. Switch off the socket, unplug, and
press the cord rewind button (15) until the
cord is fully rewound.
• To save space, the vacuum can be stored
upright on its end cover. The telescopic tube
can be hung on the vacuum cleaner by
inserting the parking fixture into the vertical
parking holder (8).
CLEANING
Clean the vacuum cleaner by wiping it with a
damp cloth.
You must not use any form of strong, solvent or
abrasive cleaning agent.
