 Level 1 and 2: Low suction range
For vacuuming sensitive materials and light com-
ponents, such as upholstered furniture, rugs, cush-
ions, curtains, etc.
 Level 3: Medium suction range
For daily vacuuming of lightly soiled surfaces and
for cleaning low-pile carpets.
 Level 4: High suction range
For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors,
high-pile carpets and heavily soiled surfaces.
Important notice! The device will shut down automati-
cally if there is risk of overheating. Turn the device off
and pull out the mains plug. Make sure, that the nozzle
and suction pipe are not clogged, and that the filter does
not need changing. After eliminating the fault, allow the
device to cool down for a at least 1 hour; then the device
will be ready for operation again.
