Getting the best results
To get the best performance, use the cleaner at full power position. If the power setting is at 50%, then the �lter will clog more quickly. Use the nozzles as follows: Carpets: Use the carpet/hard �oor nozzle with the lever* in position (32). Reduce suction power for small carpets. Hard �oors: Use the carpet/hard �oor nozzle with the lever* in position (33). Wooden �oors:Use the parquet nozzle* (11). Upholstery: Curtains, lightweight fabrics, etc.: Use the upholstery function of the small combination nozzle* (5b)/upholstery nozzle (7). Reduce suction power if necessary. Frames, bookshelves, etc.: Use the dusting brush function of the small combination nozzle* (5a)/Easy clean kit* (12).

C Exhaust �lter There are three types** of exhaust �lter: � Micro�lter* (Ref. No. EF 17) � HEPA H12* non-washable (Ref. No. EF H12) � HEPA H12* washable (Ref. No. EF H12W). The �lters must always be replaced with new ones and cannot be washed (if not mentioned). 32 Place your thumbs on the back edge of the �lter grille, open the grille by pulling the handles backwards and upwards with your index/middle �nger. 33 Lift out the �lter. Insert a new �lter and replace the lid as shown.
Proprietary carpet conditioning and air freshening materials
After using proprietary carpet conditioning powders, it is recommended that the Ergobox dust container is emptied and the �lters are cleaned, if necessary changed. Some of these preparations contain substances which if left in the vacuum cleaner for extended periods could damage the plastic mouldings which form the structure of the cleaner. Many air fresheners, household deodorants, sprays and polishes contain a highly �ammable gas propellant. Because of this, it is particularly important that these products are used strictly in accordance with the relevant manufactures instructions. It is essential that none of the above products are sprayed into the vacuum cleaner or any of the �lters, hose assembly and Ergobox dust container
Emptying the Ergobox dust container
The more often you empty Ergobox, the less often you will get the �lter clogged. It must be emptied before reaching the max mark on Ergobox. 22 The �lter clogging indicator turns to red when the �lter needs to be cleaned or replaced. 23 Grasp Ergobox and lift it out as shown in the illustration. 24 Place it with the transparent part underneath and pull the catch to remove the metal fastening. 25 Remove the cover (rear part) carefully and empty possible remaining dust. 26 Empty the transparent (front) part. 27 Turn the washable HEPA �lter anticlockwise and pull it away. To put a clean one back, push and turn it clockwise.
