Installation and connection

Assembling the vacuum cleaner

(Figs. 01 + 02)
You can assemble the vacuum cleaner
in 2 different ways.
 You can place the suction wand ei-
ther above or below the PowerUnit.
The advantages of placing the
PowerUnit at the bottom of the vac-
uum cleaner are as follows:
- secure self-standing function possible
(see "Use" – "Self-standing function for
short pauses in vacuuming")
- ergonomic (reduced strain on the
wrist)
- convenient cleaning of large surfaces
The advantages of placing the
PowerUnit at the top of the vacuum
cleaner are as follows:
– convenient cleaning underneath furni-
ture
– PowerUnit can be removed quickly
PowerUnit solo
The PowerUnit can be used on its own
without the suction wand and Electro-
brush as a quick way of vacuuming up
crumbs and lint in specific areas.
Tip: This configuration is particularly
suitable when using the three-piece ac-
cessory set (see "Using the accessories
supplied").

Connecting the Comfort handle

cleaner is configured, you can connect
the Comfort handle to either the suction
wand or the PowerUnit.

the suction wand connection from
above until it audibly clicks into place
(left image detail).
 Slide the Comfort handle along the
guide line on the dust container han-
dle and down on to the PowerUnit
connector from above until it audibly
clicks into place (right image detail).
 Switch off the vacuum cleaner using
the On/Off switch on the front of the
Comfort handle if you want to sepa-
rate the sections.
 Press the release catch and remove
the Comfort handle by pulling up-
wards.
