PLEASE NOTE
We therefore recommend that you only use our origi-
nal dust bags.
Your appliance is a highly efficient vacuum cleaner
that achieves excellent cleaning results when used
with high-quality dust bags. Only by using high-qua-
lity dust bags (such as Siemens original dust bags)
can you ensure that your vacuum cleaner is working
at the energy efficiency class, dust pick-up rate and
dust retention capacity listed on its EU energy label.
The use of inferior-quality dust bags (e.g. paper
bags) can have a negative effect on the service life
and performance of your appliance.
Using unsuitable or inferior-quality dust bags can
also damage your vacuum cleaner. Such damage is
not covered by our guarantee.

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