NOTE:
Your vacuum cleaner has an integrated protective function which turns
the appliance off automatically before it can overheat (e.g. due to
blocked suction channels, an over-full dust container, or a dual protec-
tion filter that has not been maintained properly).
If this protective function triggers, the cleaning indicator (Fig. 5/5)
flashes red fast. If this occurs, pull the plug out from the socket and pro-
ceed as described in Chapter 6.1, "Before you send in the appliance".
You can then turn the clean, fully-assembled vacuum cleaner back on. If
the cleaning indicator (Fig. 5/5) flashed red before the cleaning work
was carried out, then it will still flash red slowly for 20–30 seconds (self-
analysis mode) when the appliance is switched back on before changing
to green.
1. Pull out the cord by the plug up to the yellow mark (Fig. 5/1).
WARNING:
Danger of electric shock! If the red marking (Fig. 5/2) shows, retract the
cord by pressing the cord retracting button (Fig. 5/3) to pull in the cord
up to the yellow mark (Fig. 5/1) again. 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. 5/4).
The cleaning indicator (Fig. 5/5) is illuminated green.
NOTE:
In normal situations the bypass vent (Fig. 5/6) 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.
4. If using the floor nozzle, set the "carpet/hard floor" selector according
to the type of floor to be cleaned (Fig. 6):
- Fig. 6/A: for deep- and short-pile carpets, runners
- Fig. 6/B: for smooth floors, e.g. parquet, tiles, PVC, etc.
5. When working with the vacuum cleaner, pull it after you like a sleigh.

WARNING:
When leaving your working-area, switch off the appliance and comply
with the notices in Chapter 4.3, "Switching off". This will help avoid
accidents.
1. Switch off the cylinder vacuum cleaner with the on/off switch (Fig. 5/4).
The cleaning indicator (Fig. 5/5) goes out.
2. Pull the plug from the socket and keep it in your hand.
3. To retract the power cord, push the cord retracting button (Fig. 5/3).
Only carry the vacuum cleaner by its carrying-handle (Fig. 1/17).
For storage you can park the telescopic tube on the vacuum cleaner by
inserting the parking-hook of the floor nozzle into the parking-bracket
(Fig. 7).
If you want to store the appliance for a longer period of time, empty the
dust container, Chapter 5.1, "Emptying the dust container".
Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.
ATTENTION:
Never store the appliance next to heat sources (e.g. stoves or radiators).
Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight. Heat can damage the appliance.
