Pausing during use
1
If you want to pause for a moment, insert the ridge on the nozzle into the parking slot to
park the tube in a convenient position (Fig. 27).
2
If the appliance is equipped with an infrared remote control (specific types only), press the
standby button to switch off the vacuum cleaner temporarily, for instance when you have to
move some furniture. (Fig. 28)
3
To continue vacuum cleaning, press the standby button again. The appliance then starts
operating at the previously selected suction power setting again.
storage
1
Slide the tube parts into each other to reduce the tube to its shortest length.
2
Switch off the appliance and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
3
Press the cord rewind button to rewind the mains cord (Fig. 29).
4
To store the appliance in upright position, insert the ridge on the nozzle into the storage
slot (Fig. 30).
5
Always put the TriActive nozzle in the carpet setting when you store it (brush strip retracted
into the nozzle). Also prevent the side brushes from becoming bent (Fig. 15).
replacing/emptying the dustbag
Always unplug the appliance before you replace the disposable dustbag or empty the reusable
dustbag.
Note: In some cases, the dustbag-full indicator can indicate that the dustbag is full, even though it is not.
This may occur if the pores of the dustbag are clogged (e.g. when you have vacuumed ashes, fine sand,
lime, cement dust and similar substances) or if something is blocking the nozzle, tube and/or hose. If the
pores of the dustbag are clogged, you have to replace the dustbag, even if it is not full yet. If the dustbag
is not clogged but not full either, something is blocking the nozzle, tube and/or hose. In this case, do not
replace the dustbag but remove the obstruction.
replacing the disposable dustbag
- Replace the dustbag as soon as the dustbag-full indicator has changed colour permanently, i.e.
even when the nozzle is not placed on the floor (Fig. 31).
1
Pull the cover upwards to open it (Fig. 32).
2
Lift the dustbag holder out of the appliance (Fig. 33).
Make sure you hold the holder with the dustbag in horizontal position when you lift it out of the
appliance.
3
Pull at the cardboard tag to remove the full dustbag from the holder (Fig. 34).
, The dustbag is sealed automatically.
4
Slide the cardboard front of the new dustbag into the two grooves of the dustbag holder as
far as possible. (Fig. 35)
5
Put the dustbag holder back into the vacuum cleaner.
Note: If you have not inserted a dustbag, you cannot close the cover.
