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. 20).

4 To store the appliance in upright position, insert the ridge on the nozzle into the storage

slot (Fig. 21).

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. 12).

replacing the dustbag

Always unplug the appliance before you replace the 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, ne sand,

lime, cement dust and similar substances) or if something blocks 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 blocks the nozzle, tube and/or hose. In this case, do not

replace the dustbag but remove the obstruction.

replacing the 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. 22).

1 Pull the cover upwards to open it (Fig. 23).

2 Lift the dustbag holder out of the appliance (Fig. 24).

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. 25).

, 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. 26)

5 Put the dustbag holder back into the vacuum cleaner.

Note: If you have not inserted a dustbag, you cannot close the cover.

Cleaning and maintenance of filters

The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before you clean or maintain the appliance.

Note: Only wipe the body of the appliance with a moist cloth.

Permanent motor protection filter

To guarantee optimal performance, clean the permanent motor protection filter every time you

replace the dustbag.

Note: Replace the motor protection lter once a year.

1 Remove the dustbag holder with the dustbag (Fig. 24).

2 Press the filter holder release tab (1) and take the filter holder out of the appliance (2). Take

the motor protection filter out of the filter holder. (Fig. 27)
