To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or injury:

•  Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

•  Do not block the motor hood ventilation openings    

  and duct on the top of the power unit. Lack of  

  ventilation airfl ow will cause the motor to overheat.

•  Do not locate the power unit in a high temperature 

  area or where it is inaccessible, for example, an attic 

  or crawl space.

•  Mount the built-in vacuum system power unit no less

  than 30cm from the ceiling or any adjacent wall and 

  at least 70cm from the fl oor. If the unit is not 

  exhausted outside, make sure the adjacent wall is at 

  least 30cm from the exhaust port. DO NOT exhaust 

  into a concealed area.

•  Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. 

  Remove hose from inlet valve and unplug from outlet 

  when not in use and before servicing.

•  Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is 

  necessary when used by or near children.

•  Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

•  Use only as described in this manual. Use only 

  manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

•  Some hoses contain electrical wires. Do not use if 

  damaged, cut or punctured. Avoid picking up sharp  

 objects.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The built-in vacuum system is designed for dry pick up of household dirt and dust. Avoid vacuuming up 

hard or sharp objects to prevent hose and plastic pipe clogs or damage.

•  Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum 

  cleaner is not working as it should, has been 

  dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into 

  water, return it to a service center.

•  Connect to a properly grounded (earthed) outlet only 

  (see grounding/earthing instructions).

•  Do not use extension cords or outlets with  

 

  inadequate current carrying capacity.

•  Turn off all controls before unplugging.

•  Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp 

  the plug, not the cord.

•  Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

•  Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with 

  any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and 

  anything that may reduce airfl ow.

•  Keep hair, loose clothing, fi ngers and all parts of 

  body away from openings and moving parts.

•  Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, 

  such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

•  Do not operate vacuum without dust bag or fi lter in    

 place.
