the storage aid on the underside of the
vacuum cleaner.
Stand the vacuum cleaner up on its end. Slide
the catch on the floor tool into the groove on
the underside of the appliance.
You have purchased a floor vacuum cleaner
which can vacuum up any type of dry dirt using
the dust collector or dust bag.
We recommend that you use
– the dust collector for dirt generated by DIY in
particular, such as sawdust.
– the dust bag principally for everyday
household cleaning.
Using the dust collector
15
Figure
Set the power setting to maximum for the
best results when vacuuming.
We recommend that you reduce the setting
only when vacuuming very delicate materials.
Emptying the dust filter
To achieve an optimal result when vacuuming,
the dust collector should be emptied each time
the vacuum cleaner is used.
16
Figure
Open the vacuum cleaner lid by moving the
locking lever in the direction of the arrow.

17
Figure
Pull out the dust collector carrying handle in
the direction of the arrow.
Remove the dust collector from the vacuum
cleaner using the carrying handle.
18
Figure
Open the base and empty the dust collector
by pressing the lid lock in the direction of the
arrow.
If the base is very dirty (thick dirt), clean this first,
e.g. by vacuuming it with the crevice nozzle.
(You must fit the dust bag in the vacuum
cleaner when you do this – see Figure 27)
Close the base.
19
Figure
Refit the dust collector to the vacuum cleaner,
push in the carrying handle and close the lid.
!
Caution: The inside of the dirt container
may become scratched with use and start
to look opaque. This does not, however,
affect the performance of the vacuum
cleaner in any way, i.e. it will continue
to function as normal.
Cleaning the permanent filters and
microfilters
When must the filters be cleaned:
After any operating problem, i.e. after a
blockage is cleared.
At least every six months.
20
Figure
Unlock the filter holder by pressing the two
lugs in the direction of the arrow and open it.
21
Figure
Remove the microfilter and permanent
filter and wash them by hand.
!
Caution: After hand washing, both the
permanent filter and the white fleece filter
may only be replaced after a drying time of
approximately 24 hours
Blockages
Removing a blockage in the dust collector.
22
Figure
Unfasten the 4 snaplocks by pushing them
in the direction of the arrow and remove the
dust collector lid. Loosen the blockage, e.g.
with a screwdriver, and tap or vacuum it out.
(You must fit a dust bag in the vacuum
cleaner before vacuuming it out – see
Figure 27)
23
Figure
Put the dust collector lid back on and push in
the direction of the arrow until you hear the
4 clasps lock into place.
!
Caution: The microfilters and permanent
filters must be cleaned after every
blockage. (see Figures 20 and 21).
Using dust bags
If necessary, a dust bag may be used instead of
the dust collector.
24
Figure
Open the vacuum cleaner lid (see Figure 15)
Remove the dust collector and insert a dust
bag.
Close the vacuum cleaner lid.
You have bought an extremely powerful device.
The highest suction setting is therefore only
recommended for heavily soiled, short-pile
carpets and hard floors.
The desired level of suction can be adjusted to
any level using the suction regulator switch (see
Figure 7).
Low suction range:
For vacuuming delicate fabrics, e.g. curtains.
Middle suction range:
For daily vacuuming of lightly soiled floors.
High suction range:
For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard
floors and heavily soiled surfaces.
