‡ Power Level 3 / Turbo Mode 3 / Turbo Vacuuming at full power and with the electric brush switched on. For stubborn cleaning tasks on all sur- faces (carpets, in particular) and when using an op- tional accessory. The appliance achieves a shorter run time at this level. After using the appliance ‡ Switch off the appliance after vacuuming. Fig. 10 Emptying the dust container Runtime In order to achieve the best possible vacuuming re- sults, the dust container should be emptied after every use or, at the latest, when dust at one point in the dust container has reached the marking. Fig. 11 The runtime time stated here may vary due to charge status, battery temperature and battery age etc.
We recommend that you not fill the dust container bey- ond the marking, as this leads to considerable soiling of the filter. When emptying the dust container, always check how dirty the outer filter unit is and, if necessary, clean it as detailed in the "Cleaning the outer filter unit" instruc- tions. Fig. 16 ! Caution: The filter can only be cleaned if the appli- ance is switched off. Never vacuum without the outer filter unit and its fitted filter cartridge. Fig. 12 ‡ Using the release button, unlock the dust container and remove it from the appliance. ‡ During short pauses in vacuuming, the appliance can be left standing anywhere in the room.
To do this, tilt the vacuum cleaner forwards slightly in the direction of the nozzle. ! Caution: When the appliance is left standing, it must be switched off, because if the brush is turning while the appliance is standing still, it could cause damage to the floor covering.
