Using the Floor Nozzle For the daily care of carpets and hard floors. The floor nozzle is suitable for universal use in the daily vacuuming of carpets and hard floor coverings such as parquet, tiles, linoleum, etc. without the need to switch the nozzle manually. The four rollers and two large wheels at the rear make the appliance easy to manoeuvre. The additional rotating joint makes your vacuum cleaner particularly agile. The rollers ensure that the separation between the floor and underside of the nozzle is always constant ­ this makes it possible to vacuum hard floors without problems. 3 Press the button to remove the floor nozzle (Figure 3). Changing the Filters 1. Paper Filter 0 Open the bag compartment and remove the lid (Figure 7). 0 Remove the paper filter (Figure 8). Bags full of normal household dust may be disposed of with household rubbish. If necessary, wipe out the filter compartment with a damp cloth. 0 Place the new paper filter on the filter carrier (Figure 9). 2 2. MICROFILTER 1 Please note: The MICROFILTER must also be replaced every fifth paper filter change (Figure 10) to maintain optimum suction performance. By renewing the MICROFILTER in good time you will ensure good suction performance and reduce the amount of time spent vacuuming. 0 Insert the lid into the appliance and close by pressing it into place (Figure 11).
