Thermal safety cut-out
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with an
integral thermal safety cut-out, which
automatically switches the appliance off in
case of overheating (e.g. due to blockage in
the tube or filter). Should this occur, remove
the plug from the wall socket and let the
appliance cool down for a minimum of one
hour. The vacuum cleaner may then be used
again after the blockage has been removed.
Operation
-
Put the vacuum cleaner in its horizontal
operating position.
-
Insert the hose into the hose connection.
-
Connect the tube to the hose grip.
-
Attach any of the nozzles provided to the
end of the tube. If the full tube length is
not required (e.g. when using the
upholstery tool), the nozzle may be
attached directly to the hose grip.
-
Pull out the power cord from its storage
to the necessary length (but not beyond
the red mark) and insert the plug into a
suitable wall socket.
-
In addition, the suction power can be
decreased further by opening the
secondary air-flow opening slide in the
hose grip.
-
Always start with a low setting when
cleaning soft objects such as curtains.
● Always ensure that the power cord is not
routed around or runs over corners or
edges, and that it cannot be jammed in a
door.
-
During operation, the hose may be used
to pull the unit along behind you.
However, when carrying the unit, always
use the carrying handle.
● To prevent the power cord from being
pulled with excessive force, always
change to the next suitable wall socket
when cleaning larger areas.
-
Switch off the appliance after use and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
-
To retract the power cord automatically
into its storage, press the foot switch of
the retract mechanism.
