Switching on and off

To switch the vacuum cleaner on:
^ Press the On-Off switch.
The Stand-by indicator light comes on
to show that the vacuum cleaner is
ready for use.

^ Press the On-Off switch again.
The Stand-by light goes out.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off with
the On-Off switch before opening
the dust compartment lid. Otherwise
the vacuum cleaner will
automatically switch on when the lid

facility to work).

Vacuuming

^ When vacuuming, pull the cleaner
behind you on its wheels. You can
stand it upright for vacuuming stairs
and curtains etc.
,
When vacuuming especially fine
dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc.,
electrostatic charges build up
naturally. Under certain conditions
these charges will be released. To
avoid the unpleasant effects of these
discharges, a metal inlay has been
incorporated into the underside of
the handle.
Please make sure that you keep your
hand in constant contact with this
metal strip during vacuuming.
