WARNING:
Danger of injury! A damaged appliance must never be used. Check the cylinder vacuum cleaner and the
power cord before each use.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Especially when vacuum-cleaning stairs make sure that you are always on a higher level
than the appliance.
ATTENTION:
Only use the cylinder vacuum cleaner with all filters intact, dry and correctly fitted. Make sure that no
openings are clogged. Otherwise the vacuum cleaner might be damaged.
NOTE:
Your cylinder vacuum cleaner is equipped with a safety switch to prevent overheating. It automatically cuts
off the power supply if the motor is overheated. In this case switch off the appliance and disconnect it from
the mains. Remove the cause of the overheating. Wait for about 45 minutes. After it has cooled off, you may
use the cylinder vacuum cleaner again.
1. Attach the desired nozzle, (Fig. 8).
ATTENTION:
Follow the recommendations of the flooring manufacturers. Make sure that the attached nozzle is suitable
for the particular type of flooring. Our (mini) turbo brush can only be used to vacuum surfaces that are
not sensitive. Do not clean any floors or objects with the (mini) turbo brush that you would not clean without
a second thought with a conventional brush. Therefore, do not clean sensitive or polished floor surfaces with
the (mini) turbo brush. Nor should you clean furniture, sensitive carpets, upholstery, covers, or any material
with a sensitive texture with the (mini) turbo brush. Otherwise material damage might occur. If in doubt,
refrain from using the (mini) turbo brush.
2. If using the floor nozzle, set the "carpet/hard floor" selector to suit the type of flooring:
- Carpet (Fig. 9/A): for short- and deep-pile carpets, runners, etc.
- Hard floor (Fig. 9/B): for laminate, tiles, PVC, etc.
3. Pull out the power cord by the plug up to the yellow mark (Fig. 10/3).
WARNING:
Danger of electric shock! If the red mark (Fig. 10/2) shows, retract the cord by pressing the retract button
(Fig. 10/1) to pull in the cable up to the yellow mark (Fig. 10/3) again. Otherwise, the power cord may be
damaged.
4. Insert the mains plug into a socket with ground/safety contact.
5. Switch on the cylinder vacuum cleaner with the on/off switch (Fig. 11/2).
6. Set the suction power control (Fig. 11/1) to suit the surface to be cleaned.
7. When working with the cylinder vacuum cleaner, pull if after you like a sleigh.
NOTE:
With the bypass vent (Fig. 1/5) you can quickly reduce the suction power if less power is needed, e.g. to
release objects accidentally sucked in.
