4.Attach the hand-held vacuum into the hollow on the appliance until you hear a click, once you have finished using it.

NOTE:

•If the appliance loses suction power during use, the battery may need to be recharged.

•Lack of suction power may also be caused by the filter being blocked and needing cleaning (see “Cleaning of dust container and emptying of filter”).

•If the appliance still does not have full suction power after cleaning or replacing the filter, the nozzle tip or the nozzle may be blocked.

•NOTE: Check cause of fault and correct. Do not use the appliance if any air holes are blocked. Permanent motor damage can result.

•We recommend that you empty the dust container after each vacuuming (see “Emptying of dust container and cleaning of filter” below).

Tips!

To save room during storage, the handle of the appliance may be folded. Press down the release

button for the foldable handle (3) and tilt the handle toward the appliance (see illustration).

DUST CONTAINER AND FILTER

This appliance is not equipped with a dust bag. The dust/dirt is sucked up into the transparent dust holder instead. Once the dust is in this container, it whirls around so that it does not block suction. The air sucked in is cleaned by means of a two-component washable permanent filter in the dust container.

Emptying of dust container and cleaning of filter

IMPORTANT! If the appliance loses suction power during use, the filter pad may be dirty, and needs cleaning or replacing. Never use the appliance, when the filter is dirty or when it has not been fitted.

1.Detach the hand-held vacuum cleaner from the appliance by pressing the release button whilst simultaneously pulling the hand-held vacuum cleaner upwards.

2.Grab the dust container with one hand and press the opening button (7) to release the dust container from the motor section (14) (see illustration).

3.Pull the two parts of the filter out of the dust container and empty the container. If necessary,

rinse the dust container with clean water and wipe the container with a dry cloth.
