 Stage 1: Low performance range
For vacuuming sensitive materials and light com-
ponents, such as upholstered furniture, rugs, cush-
ions, curtains, etc.
 Stage 2: Medium performance range
For daily vacuuming of lightly soiled surfaces and
for cleaning low-pile carpets.
 Stage 3: High performance range
For vacuuming durable floor coverings, hard floors,
high-pile carpets and heavily soiled surfaces.
IMPORTANT NOTE! The device shuts off automatically
if there is a danger of overheating. Make sure that the
nozzle or suction pipe is not blocked and check if the fil-
ter needs to be changed. After remedying the malfunc-
tion, let the device cool down for at least 1 hour, after
that the device will be ready for use again.

Care and maintenance

Emptying the main filter
Recommendation: Empty main filter after every use.
For rest of procedure see:
Figure to
Note
 When you unscrew it, the filter is automatically
cleaned and the dirt is removed.
Emptying long life filter
Recommendation: Remove, empty and (if necessary)
clean long-life filters no later than every 2 months.
ATTENTION
The amount that can be vacuumed up can vary depend-
ing on the vacuuming material.
For fine dust, in particular, emptying may be necessary
earlier.
In order to ensure good filtration, replace long life filter
with new filter every 2 years.
For rest of procedure see:
Figure to
Notes
 When you unscrew it, the filter is automatically
cleaned and the dirt is removed.
Reinsert the long life filter in the filter box according

to the marking and screw it in completely until the
red safety rod is no longer visible.
ATTENTION
 If the red safety rod is still visible, the filter box can-
not be inserted into the device.
The filter lock must therefore be screwed in all the
way.
Only install dry long life filters in the device.

Replacing exhaust filter
Recommendation: In order to ensure good filtration,
replace the exhaust filter once a year.
Illustration
 Remove the exhaust filter cover upwards at an an-
gle along the edge of the device.
 Press the exhaust filter together on both sides and
remove.
 Attach a new exhaust filter and lock in place.
 Place the exhaust filter cover on the edge of the ap-
pliance, push it downwards and lock in place.
Troubleshooting
Declining suction performance or the device automati-
cally switching off due to overheating can be caused by:
 Blockage in accessories: Remove the blockage
carefully with a narrow tool.
Illustration
 Blockage in telescopic suction pipe: Lever the cov-
er on the handle off with a screwdriver and then re-
move the blockage carefully with a narrow tool.
 Check to see whether the filters are intact or dam-
aged.
