Changing Filters And Emptying The Dust Container - Melissa 16420212 Bedienungsanleitung

• While in use, the suction force can be
adjusted by turning the knob for controlling
the suction strength.
o To increase suction force, turn it
clockwise.
o To reduce suction force, turn it anti-
clockwise.
• Suction strength can also be adjusted by
opening and closing the air vent (21) on the
handle.
o When the valve is closed, full suction is
achieved. This is the normal setting.
o When the vent opens, more air is
allowed in, reducing the suction power
at the floor nozzle. This function is for
cleaning curtains and other light items
which can get sucked into the nozzle.
• The floor nozzle has two settings. To change
setting, use the brush function buttons (14).
o When cleaning hard surfaces (wooden
flooring, stone flooring, tiles, linoleum,
etc.), the nozzle brushes should be
extended.
o When cleaning carpets and rugs, the
brushes should be retracted into the
nozzle.
• IMPORTANT! If the suction strength of the
appliance is reduced, the nozzle, hose or
dust container inlet may be blocked, or
filters may be blocked or dirty. Never use
the appliance if this is the case, as this will
damage the motor irreparably. Remove the
cause of the blockage or clean the filters.
Tips!
• If you need to take a break during vacuum
cleaning, you can slide the back edge of the
floor nozzle into the parking holder (3) on the
rear end of the appliance.
CHANGING FILTERS AND EMPTYING THE
DUST CONTAINER
This appliance is not equipped with a dust bag.
The dust/dirt is sucked up into the transparent
dust holder instead. Once the dust is in this
container, it whirls around so that it does not
block suction. The air sucked in is cleaned by
means of a washable permanent filter in the
dust container, a motor protection filter and an
exhaust filter.
We recommend that you clean the filters at least
twice a year or as required. We recommend
replacing the filters after 6 to 12 months' use,
when they are soiled, or if the appliance's
suction strength is reduced.
IMPORTANT! The appliance must not be used
if the filters and the dust container are not in
place.
IMPORTANT! Turn off the appliance and unplug
it before changing the filters or emptying the
dust container.
Replacing exhaust filter
• Remove the exhaust grille by pressing the
release button on the grille.
• Replace the inner exhaust filter in the
exhaust port and replace the external
exhaust filter into the grille.
• Attach the grille to the inner exhaust filter so
that the small pins on the underside of the
grille fit into the lower edge of the exhaust
port and press the grille until it clicks into
place.
Emptying the dust container and cleaning
the permanent filter
It is easy to see when the transparent dust
container needs emptying. Empty the dust
container regularly, and never use the appliance
when it is full.
• To remove the dust container, press the
lock button on the top center of the dust
container and lift the container out of the
appliance.
• Take the dust container to a dustbin.
• Press the release button (25) at the bottom
of the dust container (6) (see picture). The
hinged base (23) will flip down and the dust
will fall out. NOTE! Never press the release
button unless you are holding the dust
container over a dustbin or similar waste
receptacle.
o Close the dust container again by
flipping the hinged base up and
pressing it into place until it locks into
position with a click.
