Improper use of the appliance may
lead to serious injury or death.
■
Do not vacuum glowing ash, burning
cigarettes or matches, sharp objects,
glass fragments, water or other liq-
uids. Glowing ash, burning cigarettes,

Vacuuming unsuitable materials blocks
the fi lter and can damage the appli-
ance.
