Maintenance and cleaning
For maintenance or cleaning, switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains.
As required, wipe the housing and the dustbag chamber with a damp cloth and then dry. Do
not use any scourers or any solvents. Occasionally vacuum the floor nozzle and the brushheads
with the crevice nozzle.
What to do, if...
... it is difficult to push the nozzle:
Reduce suction power (depending on the type of carpet). This will not conspicuously reduce
the cleaning efficiency.
the motor thermal cut-out has tripped: e. g. as the result of overloading the motor if the
dust-bag is full or if an accessory is blocked.
Switch off the appliance, unplug from the mains, and leave the motor to cool down. Check
dustbag, suction tube and suction hose; remove any blockage. The appliance can be switched
on again after approximately 30 minutes.
... the fuse has blown: The fuse can be blown if other electric appliances with a high power
con-sumption are used at the same time and on the same circuit as the vacuum cleaner.
If this is the case, set the suction power regulator to the lowest setting before switching on
and only select a higher suction level after switching on.
the cable does not retract fully:
The cable is caught up on the cable drum.
Pull the cable out again a little and press button A again.
.the dust chamber lid will not close:
Check that the dustbag has been inserted.
If it has, check that the dustbag has clicked into position.
Protecting the environment
Appliance packaging: We recommend keeping the packaging for the duration of the
guarantee so that the appliance can be transported safely.
Recycling the appliance at the end of its life: The plastic components all carry a material
identi-fication marking so that, like the other materials, they can be recycled at the end of the
life of the appliance.
