Vacuuming
! Please note:
Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of
wear,depending on the type of hard floor you have
(e.g. rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you must check
the underside of the floor tool at regular intervals.
Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp edges
that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as
parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does not
accept any responsibility for damage caused by worn
floor tools.

Replacing the bag
Figure
a) If the dust bag change indicator lights up red
continuously when the floor tool is lifted from the
floor and the highest power setting has been
selected, the dust bag must be changed, even
though it may not yet be full. Even if the dust bag is
not full, it may still need changing, due to the type of
dust which has been vacuumed.
First check that the nozzle, suction pipe and flexible
hose are not blocked, as this would also lead to the
dust bag change indicator being triggered.
b)The handle can easily be detached from the hose to
remove blockages.
