Danger of injury! A damaged appliance must
not be used. Check the cylinder vacuum
cleaner and the power cord each time before
using it.

filters intact, in dry condition and correctly
placed. Make sure that the openings of the
vacuum cleaner are not clogged.or
obstructed. Otherwise the vacuum cleaner
might be damaged.

motor is overheated. In this case switch off
the vacuum cleaner with the on/off switch
(Fig. 10/1) and pull the plug from the mains
socket. Eliminate the cause of overheating
(e.g. clogged suction paths or dirty filters).
Wait for about 45 minutes. After the appliance
has cooled off, you may switch it on again.

(Fig. 9/2) is visible, retract the cord by press-
ing the retract button (Fig. 10/2) to pull in the
