Switching the Electrobrush on and
off (dia. 16)
To use the Electrobrush, it must be
switched on additionally to the vacuum
cleaner.
 To do this, press the On/Off button 
on the Comfort handle.
This means that you can switch the
Electrobrush off during vacuuming and
the vacuum cleaner will continue to op-
erate using suction only. This is useful
when moving from vacuuming a fitted
carpet to a rug, for example.
Setting down, transportation
and storage
Park System for pauses during
vacuuming (dia. 17)
(cannot be used with the Electrobrush)
The Park System allows you to conveni-
ently park the suction tube and floor-
head during pauses.
 Slot the floorhead or floorbrush into
the parking attachment on the va-
cuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop-
ing surface, e.g. a ramp, retract the
telescopic tube fully.
Park System for storage (dia. 18)

Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply when
you have finished using it. Switch off
at the wall socket and withdraw the
plug.
 Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.

Retract the telescopic tube fully so
that the vacuum cleaner takes up less
room for storage.
 Slot the floorhead downwards into
one of the parking attachments on
either side of the vacuum cleaner (the
parking attachments cannot be used
with the Electrobrush).
This makes the vacuum cleaner easier
to carry or store.

For safety reasons, do not lift the
vacuum cleaner by the dust con-
tainer carrying handle.

Maintenance


Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply for
maintenance work and for cleaning.
Switch off at the wall socket and un-
plug it.
Emptying the dust
container (dia. 19 - 24)
 Empty the dust container before the
dust has reached the max marking
on the dust container.
 Pull the dust container handle up-
wards.
 Lift the dust container upwards to re-
move it.
The contents of the container can be
disposed of with normal household
waste, providing they consist of gen-
eral household dust only.
 Hold the dust container close to the
bin to prevent dust from billowing out.
