It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the va-
cuum cleaner.
 Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to man-
oeuvre.
During vacuuming
 When vacuuming, pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its wheels. You can stand
it upright for vacuuming stairs and
curtains etc.
 When vacuuming – especially in
the case of fine dust, e.g. sawdust,
sand, flour, talcum powder, etc. –
electrostatic charges build up natur-
ally. Under certain conditions these
charges will be released. To avoid
the unpleasant effects of these elec-
trostatic discharges, a metal inlay
has been incorporated into the un-
derside of the handle. Please make
sure that you keep your hand in con-
stant contact with this metal strip
during vacuuming. If your vacuum
cleaner is fitted with an Eco Com-
forthandle, make sure that your
hand is in contact with the top,
arched part of the handle at all times.
This is where the metal inlay is incor-
porated(Fig. 20, 21 + 22).
If you vacuum a large amount of dust in
one go, you should start the Comfort-
Clean self-cleaning function manually
either during a vacuuming pause or im-
mediately afterwards. This enables the
vacuum cleaner to achieve the very
best cleaning performance again
straight away (see “Maintenance” –
“Starting the ComfortClean self-clean-
ing function manually”).
Interrupting operation (Fig. 17)
(for models with radio controls on the
handle)
The vacuum cleaner can be paused for
short breaks whilst vacuuming.
 Press the Standby button  on the
handle.
 The Standby button is designed
to pause the vacuum cleaner for
short periods of time whilst vacuum-
ing. Do not leave the vacuum cleaner
in Standby mode for long periods.
This can cause overheating and
damage.
An LED will indicate each time a button
is pressed on the handle.
At the end of the pause you can do one
of the following:
 Press the Standby button  again to
switch the vacuum cleaner back on at
the setting you were using before
pausing it.
 Press the + button to switch the va-
cuum cleaner back on using the
highest power setting.
 Press the - button to switch the va-
cuum cleaner back on using the low-
est power setting.
