Thermal safety cut-out
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with an
integral thermal safety cut-out, which
automatically switches the appliance off in
case of overheating (e.g. due to blockage in
the tube or filter). Should this occur, remove
the plug from the wall socket and let the
appliance cool down for a minimum of one
hour. The vacuum cleaner may then be used
again after the blockage has been removed.
Carrying handle
Always use the handle to carry the
appliance. To use, pull out first.
Main power switch with suction power
regulator
The appliance is switched on and off by
pushing the main power switch. The suction
power can be adjusted by turning the same
switch.
Operation
- Put the vacuum cleaner in its horizontal
operating position.
- Insert the hose into the hose connection.
- Connect the tube to the hose grip.
- Attach any of the nozzles provided to the
end of the tube. If the full tube length is
not required (e.g. when using the
upholstery tool), the nozzle may be
attached directly to the hose grip.
- Pull out the power cord from its storage
to the necessary length (but not beyond
the red mark) and insert the plug into a
suitable wall socket.
- The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a
very powerful motor. In order to prevent
a fuse within your home electrical
installation from being triggered at
switch-on, always set the power regulator
to its lowest setting before the appliance
is switched on.
- The electronic suction regulator allows
the suction power to be infinitely
adjusted to your needs.
- In addition, the suction power can be
decreased further by opening the
secondary air-flow opening slide in the
hose grip.
- Always start with a low setting when
cleaning soft objects such as curtains.
●
Always ensure that the power cord is not
routed around or runs over corners or
edges, and that it cannot be jammed in a
door.
- During operation, the hose may be used
to pull the unit along behind you.
However, when carrying the unit, always
use the carrying handle.
●
To prevent the power cord from being
pulled with excessive force, always
change to the next suitable wall socket
when cleaning larger areas.
- Switch off the appliance after use and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
