Regulating the suction
power (dia. 19)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to man-
oeuvre the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the display which indicate the type of
use the respective power levels are
suitable for.
 Curtains, fabric
 Upholstery, cushions
 Cut pile carpets, rugs and run-
ners
 Energy-saving vacuuming. This
setting is also very quiet
 Loop pile carpet and rugs
 Hard flooring and heavily soiled
carpets and rugs
When using the Electrobrush/floor-
head, if the suction seems too high,
reduce the suction power until the
Electrobrush/floorhead is easier to
manoeuvre.
The first time the vacuum cleaner is
switched on, the highest setting will be
selected automatically.
After that, the vacuum cleaner will
switch on at the setting which was used
previously.
 Press the + footswitch to select a
higher suction power level.
 Press the - footswitch to select a
lower suction power level.
During vacuuming
 When vacuuming, pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its wheels. You can stand
it upright for vacuuming stairs and
curtains etc.

When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electro-
static charges build up naturally. Un-
der certain conditions these charges
will be released. To avoid the un-
pleasant effects of these discharges,
a metal inlay has been incorporated
into the underside of the handle.
Please make sure that you keep your
hand in constant contact with this
metal strip during vacuuming (dia.
20).
Switching the Electrobrush on and
off (dia. 21)
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.
