Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects such as
glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.

outlet, make sure the switch is in the ‘off’ position.

IMPORTANT:

If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube

is blocked, switch off the vacuum cleaner and

remove the blockage(s) before re-starting the vacuum
cleaner. See Maintenance: Clearing blockages.

IMPORTANT:

Washing filters improves vacuum

performance. We recommend that they should

be checked and cleaned periodically (depending on the level
of use). Make sure all filters are completely dry before
inserting back into the vacuum cleaner.

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

PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER USE.
