Attachment holder (32)
For easy storing of attachments there is an
attachment holder included. Fix the holder on
the telescopic pipe and install the attachments
(30) and (31) on it.
Using the dustbag (29)
2 cloth dustbags (29) with a convenient plastic
clamp are supplied with the unit.
• Open the dustbag compartment lid (13) by
pressing the lid lock (12).
• Take the dustbag holder (18) and pull it to
remove the dustbag holder (18) and the dust-
bag (29) from the locks (19).
• To clean the cloth dustbag (29), place it
above the trash bin and remove the plastic
clamp. After cleaning install the plastic clamp
back to its place.
• To install the dustbag (29) back to its place,
insert the dustbag holder (18) into the
notches of the locks (19) as far as it will go.
• Close the dustbag compartment lid (13).
Note: Do not try to close the lid (13) without the
dustbag (29) installed, otherwise you can dam-
age the lock (19). Without the dustbag installed
the lock performs the blocking device function.
Always make sure that the dustbag holder (18)
and the dustbag (29) are installed properly
before closing the dustbag compartment lid
(13). After every installation carefully tuck the
dustbag (29) edges into the dustbag compart-
ment and then close the lid (13).
USING THE VACUUM CLEANER
Safety measures
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner near hot sur-
faces, such as ashtrays and in places where
inflammable liquids are stored.
• Take sharp objects away from the floor before
cleaning to prevent damage to the unit.
• If the suction power of the vacuum cleaner
decreases rapidly while cleaning, switch it
off immediately and check the telescopic
pipe and the flexible hose for obstruction.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off, then unplug
it, remove the obstruction and only after that
continue cleaning.
OPERATION
Attention! Always switch the vacuum cleaner
on only with the dustbag (29) and inlet and out-
let (24, 25, 26) filters installed. Always make
sure that the filters are installed properly.
• Before using the unit, unwind the power cord
to the required length and insert the power
plug into the mains socket.
• The yellow mark on the power cord indicates
the maximum cord length. Do not unwind the
power cord further than the red mark.
• Press the ON/OFF button (17) to switch the
vacuum cleaner on.
• During the operation you can control the suc-
tion power using the electronic suction power
control (16) and the manual suction power
control (6) on the flexible hose handle (5).
• After room cleaning switch the vacuum
cleaner off by pressing the ON/OFF button
(17) and unplug the unit.
• To wind the cord, press the cord winding but-
ton (15), hold the winding cord with your hand
to avoid its whipping and damage.
CLEANING AND CARE
• If the full dustbag indicator (14) turns red dur-
ing operation, clean up the cloth dustbag.
• Before cleaning or replacing the dustbag
(29), switch the vacuum cleaner off and
unplug it. To clean the cloth dustbag (29),
place it above the trash bin and remove the
plastic clamp. If necessary, wash the cloth
dustbag with warm water and neutral deter-
gent and dry thoroughly, after that install the
plastic clamp back to its place.
• Provide that the inlet filter (21), the out-
let HEPA-filter (25) and the foam filters
(24, 26) are always clean, because the
overall performance of the vacuum cleaner
depends on it; clean the filters no less than
3-4 times a year, and more often at severe
obstruction.
Cleaning the inlet filter (21)
• Switch the vacuum cleaner off and unplug it.
• Open the dustbag compartment lid (13) by
pressing the lock (12). Remove the dust-
bag (29).
• Press the lock (22) and open the inlet filter
grid (20). Take the inlet filter (21) and remove
it from the grid holders by pulling it upwards.
• Wash the inlet filter (21) with warm water,
dry thoroughly and install it into the grid (20)
holders.
• Close the grid of the inlet filter (21) by press-
ing the lock (22) until a distinctive click.
• Install the dustbag (29) back to its place.
• Close the dustbag compartment lid (13).
