inserting back into the vacuum cleaner. Do not wash
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.
PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER USE.
