with detergents. Use only warm water, max 40°c.

IMPORTANT:

The motor is equipped with a

thermal cut-out. If for any reason the unit
should overheat, the thermostat will

automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, unplug
the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet and turn
off the switch. Remove dirt container and empty. Clean
filters. Allow the unit to cool for approximately one (1)
hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical outlet and switch
back on.

This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use
only and NOT for commercial or industrial use.
