Vacuuming without the electric brush switched on.
For routine cleaning tasks and particularly low ope-
rating noise. The appliance achieves the maximum
run time at this level.
Power level 2
Vacuuming at normal power and with the electric
brush switched on. For difficult cleaning tasks at an
average run time.
Power Level 3 / Turbo Mode
Vacuuming at full power and with the electric brush
switched on. For stubborn cleaning tasks on all sur-
faces (carpets, in particular) and when using an op-
tional accessory. The appliance achieves a shorter
run time at this level.
