The appliance should not be used by the fol-
lowing persons, including children: those with
limited physical, sensory or mental capabili-
ties or those with a lack of experience and
knowledge. This does not apply to the latter
if they were instructed in the use of the appli-
ance or if they use it under the supervision of
a person responsible for their safety. Children
should always be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
■
Do not dismantle the appliance under any
circumstances. No warranty claims are
accepted for damage resulting from improper
handling.
■
The vacuum cleaner is very powerful; thus
before plugging the cord into the wall socket,
make sure the switch is in the ‘off’ position.
Hold the vacuum cleaner firmly when starting
and while using it.
■
If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube is blocked,
switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove
the blockages before re-starting the vacuum
cleaner.
■
Washing filters improves vacuum perfor-
mance. Make sure all the filters are complete-
ly dry before inserting back into the vacuum
cleaner.
Caution
The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If
for any reason, the vacuum cleaner should over-
heat, the thermostat will automatically turn the
unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the wall socket.
Remove the dirt container and empty. Clean the
filters. Allow the cleaner to cool for approxi-
mately 1 hour. Continue operating the appli-
ance by inserting the power plug into the wall
socket and switching it back on. If the appliance
does not start, wait another 30 minutes and
repeat the above-mentioned steps.
