Ensure that the dust bag (16) has been fitted correctly,
holding the power cord by the plug, plug it into the main
supply. Press the on/off button (6).
Figure 5
Suction intensity can be regulated from the hand grip.
Opening the flap (3) reduces suction, whereas closing it
increases suction.
Figure 6
During pauses in vacuuming, you can slide the catch on
the brush into the groove at the rear of the appliance.
How to Change the Vacuum Bag
When the safety valve makes a sound and opens
automatically, and the suction power decreases
considerably, the dust bag is full. To change it, proceed
as follows:
Fig. 11
Lift the release latch in the direction of the arrow and
open the top cover.
Remove the dust bag and replace it with a new one.
Fig. 13
Place the rubber ring of the dust bag carefully over the
inner part of the suction hole. Close the top cover and
fasten latch.

Fig. 12
Floor Brush Adjustment
The general purpose floor brush supplied with this model
has two different sweeping positions.
Press the button on the brush to the backward position
and the bristles at the front of the brush come out which,
together with the two rear wheels, makes it easier to
move across all types of surfaces.
Press the button on the brush to the forward position and
the bristles at the front of the brush retract to produce
more efficient suction on carpets and rugs.
How to Clean or Replace the Filter
Turn the filter retainer clockwise to the position where it can
be removed from the filter.
Take the motor inlet filter out and tap it. If it is very dirty,
it should be rinsed. After cleaning, leave them to dry
thoroughly. Place the filter retainer back by turning it counter
clockwise to lock.
Important
Clean or change the filter whenever any type of blockage
occurs with the suction.
To guarantee trouble-free operation, use only CleanMax
parts.
Replace the filter after having changed the paper dust bags
at least once a year.
