Risk of damage due to overheat-
ing.
The mains cable may overheat after a
long period of use.
If vacuuming for longer than
30 minutes, the cable must be pulled
out all the way.
To rewind the cable
Switch off at the wall socket and un-
plug it.
Press the rewind foot switch. The
cable will rewind automatically.
Switching on and off (Fig. 17)(Fig. 17)
Press the On/Off footswitch .
Regulating the suction power (Fig. 18)
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 manoeuvre
the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on the
controls which indicate the type of use
the power levels are suitable for.
Curtains, fabric
Upholstery, cushions
Cut pile carpets, rugs and runners
Energy-saving vacuuming. This
setting is also very quiet
Loop pile carpet and rugs
Hard floors and heavily soiled car-
pets and rugs
Turn the suction power selector
manually to the suction power setting
you require.

Opening the air inlet valve (Fig. 19)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other textile flooring being sucked into
the vacuum cleaner.
Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to man-
oeuvre.
Setting down and storing the
vacuum cleaner
Park system for pauses during vacu-
uming (Fig. 20)
The Park system allows you to conveni-
ently park the suction tube and floor-
head during brief pauses.
Slot the floorhead into the slot in the
parking attachment.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a sloping
surface, e.g. a ramp,
– Retract the telescopic suction tube
fully
– Do not use the park system if your
vacuum cleaner has an EasyLock
suction tube.
Park system for storage (Fig. 21 + 22)
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
The mains voltage is applied to the
appliance even if it is switched off.
After use, switch the appliance off at
the wall socket and unplug it.
Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
