Vacuuming
Using the handstick vacuum cleaner
Figure
Remove the appliance from the charger and operate the
on/off switch in the direction of the arrow.
The on/off switch can be moved to the following
two positions:
Position 1 = medium power setting
=> The appliance has a longer run time.
Position 2 = high power setting
=> The appliance has more power for a shorter
run time.
The function indicator on the floor tool lights up,
indicating that the brush roller is turning.
Figure
During short pauses in vacuuming, the appliance can
be left standing upright anywhere in the room. To do
this, tilt the vacuum cleaner forwards slightly in the
direction of the nozzle.
!
Caution: When the appliance is left standing,
it must be switched off, because if the brush is
turning while the appliance is standing still, it
could cause damage to the floor covering.
Figure
After vacuuming, switch the appliance off and return
it to the charger.
Caution!
Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of wear,
depending on the type of hard floors you have
(e.g. rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you must check
the underside of the floor tool at regular intervals.
Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp edges
that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as parquet
or linoleum. The manufacturer does not accept any
responsibility for damage caused by worn floor tools.
