FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

When using the vacuum cleaner, basic safety 
precautions should always be observed, including 
the following:
1. 

 Only use the vacuum cleaner indoors on dry 

surfaces. Do not handle the plug or vacuum 
cleaner with wet hands. Do not use outdoors 
or on wet surfaces. 

2.   Turn off the vacuum cleaner controls before 

disconnecting or connecting from the 
mains supply. 

3.  

Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before 

connecting or disconnecting the vacuum hose 
and accessories. 

4.  

Children should be supervised to ensure that 

they do not play with the appliance. 

5.   This appliance is not intended for use by 

persons (including children) with reduced 
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or 
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they 
have been given supervision or instruction 
concerning use of the appliance by a person 
responsible for their safety. 

6.  

Only use as described in this manual. Only use 

recommended attachments. 

7.  

Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been 

dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped 
into water. 

8.  

Do not use the vacuum cleaner with a 

damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord is 
damaged, call the helpline for assistance.

9.    

Do not pull or carry by cord/hose. Do not use 

the cord/hose as a handle, close a door on 
the cord/hose or pull cord/hose around sharp 
edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum 
cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away 
from heated surfaces. 

10.    

Do not put any objects into openings. Do not 

use with any openings blocked and do not 
restrict air-flow. Keep all openings free of dust, 
lint, hair or anything that might reduce airflow. 

11.   Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all 

parts of the body away from openings and 
moving parts. 

12.  

Do not pick up hot coals, cigarette 

butts, matches or any hot, smoking or 
burning objects. 

13.  

Do not pick up flammable or combustible 

materials (lighter fluid, petrol, kerosene 
etc.) or use in the presence of explosive 
liquids or vapours. 

14.  

Do not vacuum up harmful or toxic material 

(chlorine, bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner etc.). 

15.  

Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects such 

as glass, nails, screws, coins, etc. 

16   

Do not use without ALL of the filters in place. 

17.   Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs. 
18.  Keep vacuuming area well lit. 
19.   Store the vacuum cleaner in a cool, dry area. 
20.   Turn off the on/off switch before unplugging the 

vacuum cleaner. 

21.  

Only use CE-approved 13 amp extension 

cords. Non-approved cords may overheat. Care 
should be taken to arrange the cord so that the 
cord cannot be tripped over.

WARNING: Always switch off and unplug 

the vacuum cleaner from the electrical 

outlet before assembling, opening or emptying 
the dirt container, connecting/disconnecting the 
attachments, or carrying out maintenance or 
troubleshooting checks.

CAUTION: The vacuum cleaner is a very 

powerful unit. Before plugging the cord into 

the electrical outlet, make sure the switch is in the 
‘off’ position. Hold the vacuum cleaner firmly when 
starting and in use.

IMPORTANT: If the inlet, hose or extension 

tube is blocked, switch off the vacuum 

cleaner and remove the blockage(s) before 
re-starting the vacuum cleaner. 

IMPORTANT: We recommend that filters 

should be checked and cleaned periodically. 

For washable filters, ensure they are completely 
dry before inserting back into the vacuum cleaner. 
Do not wash with detergents. Only use 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. 
 

PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER USE.
