NOTE:
Your cylinder vacuum cleaner is equipped with a safety switch to prevent
overheating. It will switch off automatically if overheated (e.g. due to
clogged suction channels).
If this happens:
Switch off the vacuum cleaner.
Pull the plug from the power socket.
Eliminate the cause of the overheating.
Wait for about 45 minutes.
After it has cooled off, you may switch on the vacuum cleaner again.
1. Pull out the cord by the plug up to the yellow mark (Fig. 5/1).
WARNING:
Danger of electric shock! If the red marking (Fig. 5/2) shows, retract the
cord by pressing the cord retracting button (Fig. 5/3) to pull in the cord
up to the yellow mark (Fig. 5/1) again. Otherwise, the power cord may
be damaged.
2. Insert the mains plug into a socket with ground/safety contact.
3. Switch on the cylinder vacuum cleaner with the on/off switch (Fig. 5/4).
NOTE:
In normal situations the bypass vent (Fig. 5/5) must be completely
closed. With the bypass vent you can quickly reduce the suction power,
e.g. to release curtains that have accidentally been sucked in.
4. If using the floor nozzle, set the "carpet/hard floor" selector according
to the type of floor that is to be cleaned (Fig. 6):
- Fig. 6/A: for deep- and short-pile carpets, rugs
- Fig. 6/B: for smooth floors, e.g. parquet, tiles, PVC, etc.
5. When working with the vacuum cleaner, pull it after you like a sleigh.
WARNING:
When leaving your working-area, switch off the appliance and comply
with the notices in chapter 4.3, „Switching off". This will help avoid
accidents.
1. Switch off the cylinder vacuum cleaner with the on/off switch (Fig. 5/4)
and pull the plug from the mains socket.
2. Keep the plug in your hand.
3. To retract the power cord, push the cord retracting button (Fig. 5/3).
Only carry the appliance by its carrying-handle (Fig. 7/1).
For storage you can park the telescopic tube on the vacuum cleaner by
inserting the parking-hook (Fig. 7/2) of the floor nozzle into the parking-
bracket (Fig. 7/3).
If you want to store the appliance for a longer period of time, empty the
dust bin, chapter 5.1, „Emptying the dust bin module".
Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.
ATTENTION:
Never store the appliance directly next to heat sources (e.g. heater,
oven). Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Heat can damage the appli-
ance.
