Controls and cleaning modes
You can set the suction power using the
cleaning modes.
Cordless vacuum cleaner modes
Set the modes using the slide switch on the
handle.
Mode Use
Eco In Eco mode, the appliance con-
sumes less energy due to lower
suction power, and therefore has a
longer runtime.
Turbo In Turbo mode, the appliance
achieves the best cleaning results
with a shorter runtime.
Auto In Auto mode, the appliance op-
timises the ratio between runtime
and suction power.
Off In the off position, vacuuming is
stopped.
Hand-held device mode
To switch the hand-held device on and off,
use the push button switch on the hand-
held device.
Note: To vacuum with the hand-held
device, it must be removed from the cord-
less vacuum cleaner.
Mode Use
Handheld mode for routine clean-
ing tasks.
Note: The maximum battery runtime spe-
cified for each cleaning mode refers to va-
cuuming hard floors.
When vacuuming other surfaces or floor
coverings, the battery runtimes may vary.
Battery runtimes
You can find information about battery
runtimes here.
Fig.
2
Notes
The maximum battery runtimes differ de-
pending on the selected power level and
type of battery installed.
Like every Li-ion battery, the batteries
wear out over time, meaning that the bat-
tery capacity and the runtime decrease.
This is a natural aging process and not
the result of a material error, manufactur-
ing error or material defect.
You can delay the natural wear by using
the following measures:
Only charge the appliance in the tem-
perature range between 3°C and
40°C.
Only store the battery in the temperat-
ure range between 0°C and 40°C.
Do not store the battery for an exten-
ded period of time if it is fully charged
or fully discharged.

switched-on vacuum cleaner, the vacuum
cleaner continues vacuuming in the clean-
ing mode selected.
