Regulating the suction power
(Fig. 18)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to man-
oeuvre the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the controls which indicate the type of
use the power levels are suitable for.
 Curtains, fabric
 Upholstery, cushions
 Cut pile carpets, rugs and runners
 Energy-saving vacuuming. This
setting is also very quiet
 Loop pile carpet and rugs
 Hard floors and heavily soiled
carpets and rugs
 Turn the suction power selector
manually to the suction power setting
you require.
Opening the air inlet valve (Fig. 19)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other textile flooring being sucked into
the vacuum cleaner.
 Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to man-
oeuvre.

Setting down and storing the
vacuum cleaner
Park system for pauses during vacu-
uming (Fig. 20)
The Park system allows you to conveni-
ently park the suction tube and floor-
head during brief pauses.
 Slot the floorhead into the slot in the
parking attachment.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop-
ing surface, e.g. a ramp,
– Retract the telescopic suction tube
fully
– Do not use the park system if your
vacuum cleaner has an EasyLock
suction tube.

Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
The mains voltage is applied to the
appliance even if it is switched off.
After use, switch the appliance off at
the wall socket and unplug it.
 Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
If your vacuum cleaner has a tele-
scopic suction tube, retract the tubes
fully so that it takes up less room for
storage.
 Slot the floorhead downwards into
the parking attachment.
If your vacuum cleaner has an Easy-
Lock suction tube, you can detach this
so that the vacuum cleaner requires
less storage space.
