Cleaning

Risk of damage to the floor covering.
Do not operate the appliance on the

sion cable into a socket.

Lower the vacuum bar
 Pull the lever out and press it down;
the vacuum bar is lowered.
Note:
– For cleaning tiled floors, adjust the
straight suction bar in such a way
that cleaning is not done at an angle
of 90 degrees to the joints.
– The inclined position and the incli-
nation of the suction bar can be ad-
justed to achieve better suction re-
sults (see "Adjusting the suction
bar").
– If the waste water tank is full, the
float closes the suction opening and
the suction turbine runs at an in-
creased speed. If this is the case,
shut the vacuum off and drive to
empty the waste water tank.
