INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new apparatus, please read this user guide carefully
before using it for the rst time. We also recommend that you keep the instructions
for future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the functions of your
apparatus.
SAFETY MEASURES
Incorrect use of this apparatus may cause personal injury and damage.
Use for its intended purpose only. The manufacturer is not responsible for any
injury or damage resulting from incorrect use or handling (see also Guarantee
Terms).
For connection to 230 V, 50 Hz only. The appliance must be earthed.
For domestic use only. Not for outdoor or commercial use.
The apparatus, cord or plug must not be placed in water or any other liquid.
Never touch the apparatus, cord or plug with wet or damp hands.
Never leave the apparatus unattended when it is switched on.
Keep children under supervision when in use.
Keep the cord and apparatus away from heat sources, hot objects and naked
ames.
Switch the appliance off and unplug it when it is not in use, and before you
change the dust bag and clean or replace the lters.
o Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead, hold
the plug.
o Keep hold of the plug when rewinding the cord, so that it does not strike the
appliance.
Do not use if the exhaust lter (HEPA lter) motor lter and dust bag are not
tted, as this could damage the appliance.
Only use accessories manufactured or recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not use it on wet surfaces.
Take particular care when vacuuming stairs, due to the risk of falling.
Do not use to vacuum up matches, hot ashes, cigarette butts, hard or sharp
objects, wet or damp substances, combustible materials (petrol, solvents, etc.)
or vapour from these.
Do not use to vacuum ne sand or dust – e.g. plaster, brick dust and the like.
Do not cover the appliance’s suction or exhaust port.
Ensure that you keep clothing, hair and body parts away from the nozzle and
moving parts of the appliance.
Check regularly that neither cord nor plug is damaged and do not use if they are,
or if the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in any other way.
If the appliance or plug is damaged, it must be inspected and if necessary,
repaired by an authorised repair engineer, otherwise there is a risk of electric
shock. Never try to repair the apparatus yourself. Please contact the store where
you bought the appliance for repairs under guarantee. Unauthorised repairs or

PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
IMPORTANT! Check exhaust lter (f) is correctly tted before use. Open dust
bag compartment (a) to check motor lter and dust bag are correctly tted (see
Replacing lter and dust bag below).
The remote control in the handle
(18) uses 1 x type 3LR50 (12 V)
battery (included).
o Remove battery cover (19) and
insert battery.
o Check plus and minus poles are
aligned correctly to avoid
damage to the appliance.
Fit the hose (22) by inserting it into
the hose connector (3) so that the
dowels (17) click into place.
Fit telescopic tube (11) at opposite
end of hose. Tube length can be
adjusted by pressing on the lock
button (9).
Fit nozzle required (13, 14, 15 or 16)
to telescopic tube.
USE
Pull the cord (7) out of the appliance. The cord may not be pulled out further
than the red mark. Plug in and switch on the power.
Press the on/off button to start and stop the appliance.
Use the "+" and "-" buttons (21) on the handle to regulate suction power during
use. The current setting can be seen on the indicator panel (6):
You can start and stop cleaning during use with the start/stop button (20) on the
handle. The suction power indicator on the handle will ash when the appliance
is blocked.
The oor nozzle (13) bristles have two settings which can be selected using the
brush function buttons (12) on top of the nozzle.
o When cleaning hard surfaces (stone- or wooden ooring, etc.), the nozzle
brushes should be extended.
o When cleaning carpets and rugs, the brushes should be retracted into the
nozzle.
The bag change indicator will normally be dark. If it lights when the vacuum
cleaner is in use, or if the suction strength is signicantly reduced, the dust bag
must be changed (refer to Replacing lters and dust bag below).
IMPORTANT! If the suction strength of the appliance is reduced, the nozzle or
hose may be blocked, lters may be blocked or dirty and the dust bag may be
full. Never use the appliance if this is the case, as this will damage the motor
irreparably. Remove the cause of the blockage, clean the lters or replace dust
bag.
Tips for vacuum cleaning
Store nozzles in the compartment under the lid. Open lid using button (4).
Each nozzle has a special purpose. Try each of them out in different situations.
E.g. the furniture nozzle (15) or the small brush nozzle. The small crevice- and
brush nozzles (14) can be used with and without brushes, as they can be quickly
extended or withdrawn.
You can park the oor nozzle in one of the parking brackets (on the back and
underside of the appliance) when taking a break from vacuuming.
You can lift and carry the appliance using the carrying handle (1). Never pull or
lift the appliance by the cord.
REPLACING FILTERS AND DUST BAG
On account of the vacuum cleaner's powerful suction, we recommend that
you use cloth/bre vacuum bags.
IMPORTANT! If the appliance loses suction power during use, the dust bag may be
full. The lters may also need cleaning or replacing. We recommend that you clean
the lters at least twice a year or as required. We recommend replacing the lters
after 4 to 6 months’ use, when they are soiled, or if the appliance’s suction strength
is reduced. Never use the appliance if the bag is
full or with no exhaust- or motor lter.
Motor lter, exhaust lter and dust bag are in
the appliance.
Open the lid by pulling the opening handle (2)
upwards and outwards.
Replacing the Motor Filter
The motor lter protects the motor against
dust and dirt. The appliance must not be used
if the motor lter is not in place.
Pull motor lter holder (c) out using the
handle.
Clean or replace the lter pad (d) if necessary
(see section on Cleaning below).
Replace the lter pad in the motor lter holder
so that the lugs hold it in place.
Lift motor lter holder up and press into place until it clicks.
