Commissioning/ Operations

Connect accessories

Illustration
Connect connection hose.
Connect the telescoping vacuum pipe to
the suction hose and attach the floor noz-
zle.
Note: Adjust the telescoping pipe match-
ing your height so that you will be able to
work comfortably while walking upright.
Illustration
Activate the release and extend or retract
the interior pipe to the desired length.

Fill the water filter reservoir

Caution
Do not use the device if the water filter con-
tainer is empty!
When the appliance is delivered, the interme-
diate filter and the baffle plate are already in-
stalled. When filling make sure that the
components have been installed properly
(see: SCOPE OF DELIVERY). This could be
the cause of poor vacuuming performance or
untimely failure of the intermediate filter (see:
FINISH OPERATION).
Illustration
Press the release button and pull out the
water filter reservoir.
Illustration
Remove the lid from the water filter reser-
voir and fill the water filter reservoir with
tap water until the level settles between
the MIN and MAX markings (approx. 2 l)!
Illustration
Add one cap full of the defoaming liquid
(FoamStop) to the water filter reservoir.
Note: The functioning of the vacuum
cleaner is based on the whirling of the
suction air in the water filter. In the proc-
ess, sucked-in materials and deposits of
cleaning agents from floors get collected
in the water bath. This can sometimes
lead to the formation of foam. It is neces-
sary to add a capful of the foam stop liquid
to the water filter bath to avoid this situa-
tion. The foam stop liquid is environment-
friednly and fully bio-degradable. Slight
foam formation is normal and does not
hamper the functioning of the machine.
Illustration
Replace the lid. Slide the water filter res-
ervoir all the way back into the appliance
and pull it up until it locks.
Note: Please refill water as soon as the
water level in the reservoir sinks below the
MIN mark.

Start working

Illustration
Pull the power cable all the way out of the
appliance and connect the plug to the
power socket.
To switch on the appliance press the on/
off switch.
Caution
Do not vacuum up large amounts of powdery
materials such as cocoa, flour, laundry deter-
gent, pudding powder or similar materials!

Working with the floor nozzle

Vacuuming hard surfaces
Illustration
Use your foot to press the reversing
switch of the floor nozzle. The brush strips
at the bottom of the floor nozzle are ex-
tended.
Vacuuming carpeted floors
Illustration
Use your foot to press the reversing
switch of the floor nozzle. The brush strips
at the bottom of the floor nozzle are re-
tracted.
Note: If the suction power of the appliance
is constantly set too high, the suction noz-
zles can vacuum with much greater force
on carpets, upholstery and curtains. In
this case use the surrounding air separa-
tor to reduce the suction power. Close it
again after use.
