During short pauses in vacuuming, the appliance can
be left standing anywhere in the room. To do this, tilt
the vacuum cleaner forwards slightly in the direction
of the nozzle.

Caution: When the appliance is left standing, it must
be switched off, because if the brush is turning while
the appliance is standing still, it could cause damage
to the floor covering.

Emptying the dust container
10
Fig.
In order to achieve the best possible vacuuming re-
sults, the dust container should be emptied after every
use or, at the latest, when dust has reached the mark
at one point in the dust container.
We recommend that you do not fill the dust container
beyond the mark as this may lead to the filter becoming
clogged with dust.
When emptying the dust container, always check how
dirty the outer filter unit is and, if necessary, clean it as
detailed in the "Cleaning the outer filter unit" instruc-
16
tions.

Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli-
ance is switched off.
Never vacuum without the external filter unit with
the fin filter in place.

rectly fitted.
Care
Sensor Control
Your appliance features a "Sensor Control" function.
This function constantly monitors whether your vacu-
um cleaner is working at its optimum power level. The
indicator light lets you know when you need to clean
the filter unit, so that the appliance can reach its opti-
mum power level once more.

Fig.
The indicator lights up blue or is off when the appli-
ance is working at its optimum level. Once the indicator
turns red and flashes, the outer filter unit and fin filter
must be cleaned.
The appliance is automatically adjusted to power level
1.
Cleaning the filter unit
If the suction is becoming less powerful, you can clean
the filter even if the indicator has not lit up. We recom-
mend that you clean the filter unit each time you empty
the dust container. It must be cleaned at the latest
when the "Sensor Control" indicator lights up.
‡
Please switch off the appliance to clean the filter
unit.
!
Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli-
ance is switched off.
‡
Remove the dust container from the appliance.
