During vacuuming

behind you on its wheels. You can
stand it upright for vacuuming stairs
and curtains etc.

When vacuuming fine dust, e.g.
sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, talcum
powder etc., electrostatic charges
build up naturally. Under certain con‐
ditions these charges will be re‐
leased. To avoid the unpleasant ef‐
fects of these discharges, a metal in‐
lay 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 (dia. 21).
Switching the Electrobrush on and
off (dia. 22)
To use the Electrobrush, this must be
switched on additionally to the vacuum
cleaner.
 To do this, press the On/Off button 
on the Comfort handle.
The LED on the Comfort handle will
light up.
