NOTE:
Your cylinder vacuum cleaner is equipped with a safety switch to prevent
overheating. It will switch off automatically if overheated (e.g. due to
clogged suction channels).
If this happens:
Switch off the vacuum cleaner.
„
Pull the plug from the power socket.
„
Eliminate the cause of the overheating.
„
Wait for about 45 minutes.
„
After it has cooled off, you may switch on the vacuum cleaner again.
1. Pull out the cord by the plug up to the yellow mark (Fig. 6/1).
WARNING:
Danger of electric shock! If the red marking (Fig. 6/2) shows, press the
cord retraction button (Fig. 6/3) to pull in the cord up to the yellow mark
again (Fig. 6/1). Otherwise, the power cord may be damaged.
2. Insert the mains plug into a socket with ground/safety contact.
3. Switch on the cylinder vacuum cleaner with the on/off switch (Fig. 6/4).
4. Adjust the suction power with the suction power control (Fig. 6/5).
NOTE:
In normal situations the bypass vent (Fig. 6/6) must be completely
closed. With the bypass vent you can quickly reduce the suction power,
e.g. to release curtains that have accidentally been sucked in.
5. If using the floor nozzle, set the "carpet/hard floor" selector according
to the type of floor to be cleaned (Fig. 7/1):
Fig. 7/A: for deep- and short-pile carpets, runners
Fig. 7/B: for smooth floors, e.g. parquet, tiles, PVC, etc.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! When leaving your working-area, switch off the appli-
ance and comply with the notices in ZChapter 4.3, "Switching off". This
will help avoid accidents.
1. Switch off the cylinder vacuum cleaner with the on/off switch (Fig. 6/4)
and pull the plug from the mains socket.
2. Keep the plug in your hand.
3. To retract the power cord, push the cord retracting button (Fig. 6/3).
Only carry the vacuum cleaner by its carrying-handle (Fig. 8/A1).

For storage you may either park the telescopic tube
„
- using the parking-hook of the floor nozzle (Fig. 8/A) or

If you want to store the appliance for a longer period of time, empty the
„
dust container, ZChapter 5.1, "Emptying and cleaning the dust container".
