    							Warning: Always disconnect the
    vacuum cleaner from the electricity
    supply for maintenance work and for
    cleaning. Switch off at the wall
    socket and remove the plug.
    Vacuum cleaner and accessories
    External surfaces of the vacuum
    cleaner and of the accessories can be
    cleaned with a dry or a slightly damp
    cloth, or with a proprietary cleaner
    suitable for plastic.
    Do not use abrasive cleaning
    agents, glass cleaning agents,
    all-purpose cleaners or oil-based
    conditioning agents.
    Dust compartment
    The dust compartment can, if
    necessary, be cleaned using adry
    duster, brush or, if available, a second
    vacuum cleaner to vacuum the dust
    out.
    Warning: Do not let the vacuum
    cleaner get wet. If moisture gets into
    the appliance, there is a risk of
    electric shock.
    Cleaning and care
    33 
    						
    							The vacuum cleaner switches off
    automatically.
    On certain models, the overheating
    warning light also comes on.
    A temperature limiter switches the
    vacuum cleaner off automatically if it
    gets too hot. Some models also have a
    warning lightwhich comes on to
    indicate that it has overheated.
    This can occur if, for instance, large
    articles block the suction tube or when
    the filter bag is full or contains particles
    of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or
    dust compartment filter can also be the
    cause of overheating. Switch the
    vacuum cleaner off immediately using
    the On/Off foot control. Disconnect
    from the electricity supply. Switch it off
    at the wall socket and unplug it.
    After removing the cause, wait for
    approx. 20 - 30 minutes to allow the
    vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can
    then be switched on again.
