with one hand and guide the cable with the other hand to
Regulating the suction power

using minimum suction power for delicate materials. Select medium suction power for mattresses, upholstered
furniture and carpets. Select maximum suction power for tiled, wood and other robust floors.

CYCLONE CLEANING SYSTEM
The cyclone vacuum cleaner function means the vacuum cleaner does not need a dust bag. The sucked up
dirt is forced into the dust container by force of the air jet. The air is cleaned by a washable permanent filter in
the dust container, motor protection filter and an exhaust air filter (HEPA filter).
Caution!
Never vacuum clean without a filter or with a damaged filter. The dust that is sucked up would force its
way into the device and damage the motor.
Emptying the dust container
(You can easily see with the transparent dust container when
it must be emptied.)
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the plug
from the mains. To do this, always pull on the plug and
not on the cable.
2. You can pull the dust container -- together with the cleaning
system -- out of its anchoring with the aid of the carrier
handle on the dust container. Just lift out the dust container
and carry it to the waste bin.
3. A push button is located on the dust container so you can
open and empty it automatically (bottom-down technology).
To do this, hold the dust container over your dust bin and
press the button.

4. After emptying it, clean the air filter again if necessary
(see also “Cleaning the air filter” below). After this, rinse out the dust container and wipe it dry.
5. Push the air filter cleaning system back into position in the cyclone vacuum cleaner until it snaps into
place. Your cyclone vacuum cleaner is now ready to use again.
6. If suction is not functioning correctly, open the dust cup and check if there is a blockage. Get rid of the
blockage and clean up the dust cup.
Cleaning the sponge filter
The sponge filter and the sponge cover should be cleaned regularly. Cleaning is best done when emptying the
dust container. To do this, follow the instructions in the “Emptying dust container” section above.
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the plug from the mains. To do this, pull on the plug and not
the cable.
2. You can pull the dust container -- together with the cleaning system -- out of its anchoring with the aid of
the carrier handle on the dust container. Take hold of the carrier handle on the dust container and
pull it upwards.
3. Turn to open the sponge cover and then take out the sponge filter.
4. Rinse the sponge filter under running water and allow it to dry.
5. Place the sponge filter back in the sponge cover (or replace with a new one) and fit it into the dust
container until it snaps into place. Your cyclone vacuum cleaner is now ready for use again.
Cleaning the exhaust air filter (HEPA filter)
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the plug from the mains.
2. Open the exhaust air grill (this is at the rear of the cyclone vacuum cleaner).
3. The exhaust air filter is visible when the grill has been opened.
4. Rinse the filter under cold running water and allow to dry.
5. Put the exhaust air filter back into place (or replace with a new one) and place in the grill.
