powerSensor technology*
If your appliance is fitted with powerSensor techno-
logy*, this automatically ensures that the appliance is
always working at its optimum power level. In conjunc-
tion with using original dust bags, this ensures minimal
dust bag use and additional energy savings.
powerSensor technology is always activated automa-
tically, and does not need to be activated by the user.
GXXLplus type replacement bags (VZ4GXXLP2) are re-
quired to guarantee the optimum performance of the
powerSensor technology.

Changing the filter

!
Caution: Always switch off the appliance before
changing the filter.

Replacing the dust bag

Fig.
a) If the dust bag change indicator lights up conti-
nuously when the nozzle is lifted from the floor and
the highest power setting has been selected, the
dust bag must be changed, even though it may not
yet be full. In this case, it needs to be changed due
to the type of dust which has been vacuumed.
The nozzle, suction pipe and flexible hose must not
be blocked, even if this does not trigger the dust bag
change indicator.
b) The handle can easily be detached from the hose to
remove blockages.
