During vacuuming
 When vacuuming, pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its wheels. You can stand
it upright for vacuuming stairs and
curtains etc.

When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electro-
static charges build up naturally. Un-
der certain conditions these charges
will be released. To avoid the un-
pleasant 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. If your
vacuum cleaner is fitted with an Eco
Comfort handle, make sure you hold
it by the bowed section as this is
where this metal strip is incorpor-
ated. (dia. 18, 19 + 20)
Interrupting operation (dia. 16)
(for models with radio controls on the

The vacuum cleaner can be paused for

 Press the Standby button  on the


The Standby button is designed
to pause the vacuum cleaner for
short periods of time whilst vacuum-
ing. Do not leave the vacuum cleaner
in Standby mode for long periods.

damage.
An LED will indicate each time a button
is pressed on the handle.

Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply when
you have finished using it. Switch it

that the vacuum cleaner takes up less
room for storage.
