Carrying and Storage
To make the appliance easier to store and carry,
slide the loor nozzle into the tool rail.
Parking System
For storing the suction tube and nozzle during
short pauses in use. The bracket on the nozzle is
slid into the parking rail on the appliance.
What to do, if ...
... the nozzle is hard to push
Turn down the power. Cleaning per ormance
will not be a ected in this case.
... the motor thermal overload protection
device triggers
I the motor becomes overloaded, e.g. as the
result o the ilter bag being ull or a blocked
accessory, the thermal overload protection
device will shut down the motor. Turn o the
appliance, unplug rom the mains, and allow the
motor to cool down.
Check paper ilter bag, suction tube and suction
hose, remove any blockage.
The appliance can be turned on again a ter
approximately 30 minutes.
... the fuse has blown
The use may blow i you use other high power
electrical appliances on the same electrical cir-
cuit at the same time as the vacuum cleaner is
in use.
This may be prevented by setting the electronic
power regulator to minimum be ore turning on
the appliance and increasing the power setting
a ter switching on.
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with an
electronic soft start controller that reduces
the start up current of the motor, this avoids
the mains fuse blowing under normal circum-
stances. As a result, at the lowest power set-
ting the appliance may have a start delay of
approx. 4 seconds.
... the thread lifters are worn
I the thread li ters on the suction inlet are worn
or matted, you can replace them with new
thread li ters.

tomer service under ET No. 668 901 690.
