Congratulations on your purchase of a Siemens VS08
vacuum cleaner.

which means that some of the equipment features and
functions described may not be available on your model.
You should only use original Siemens accessories, which

Vacuuming
You have bought an extremely powerful device. The high-
est suction setting is therefore only recommended for
heavily soiled, short-pile carpets and hard floors.

The required suction power can be selected by adjusting the
suction regulator.
Low
suction range:
For vacuuming delicate fabrics, e.g. curtains.
Moderate
suction range:
For daily vacuuming of lightly soiled floors.
High
suction range:
For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors and
for heavily soiled surfaces.
Turbo range:
For vacuuming stubborn dirt and very heavily soiled sur-
faces.

Caution!
Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of wear,
depending on the type of hard floors you have
(e.g. rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you must check
the underside of the floor tool at regular intervals.
Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp edges
that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as parquet
or linoleum. The manufacturer does not accept any
responsibility for damage caused by worn floor tools.
