Vacuum-cleaning
!
Please note
Floor nozzles are subject to a certain amount of
wear, depending on the type of hard fl oors you have
(e.g. rough, rustic tiles). You should therefore check
the underside of the fl oor nozzles at regular inter-
vals. Worn undersides of fl oor nozzles may have
sharp edges that can damage delicate hard fl oors,
such as parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does
not accept any responsibility for damage caused by
worn fl oor nozzles.

Set the switchable fl oor nozzle as follows:
„ Rugs and carpets =>
„ Hard fl oors/parquet =>
If you are vacuuming up relatively large particles, make
sure that you vacuum them up successively and careful-
ly to ensure that the fl oor nozzle's air intake duct does
not become blocked.
If necessary, you should lift up the nozzle in order to
better vacuum up the dirt particles.
