Appliance based safety advice
• Do not vacuum up glowing embers, burning cigarettes or matches nor sharp items, glass splinters, water or
other liquids. You may damage the vacuum cleaner and endanger your safety. Glowing ashes, burning ci-
garettes etc. may set fire to the filter, moisture can cause a short circuit, sharp objects will damage the filter.
• Do not use the appliance if the casing shows signs of damage, if the mains lead is faulty or if there is any
suspicion of some inner damage (e.g. if the appliance has been dropped).
• When the appliance is being cleaned and serviced, when parts are being replaced or it is being switched over
to another function, it must be switched off. The mains plug must also pulled out of the socket to ensure that
the appliance is not switched on accidentally.
• To avoid accidents, never use the appliance to vacuum up anything that may present a risk to health, i.e.
damp, wet, explosive or poisonous items, large glass splinters, solvents, gases or glowing embers.
• To avoid accidents, do not vacuum up any living creatures. Do not vacuum up any items of clothing to be
worn against the skin. The ends of nozzles, pipes and hoses must never be brought close to eyes or ears.
• Be careful when winding up the cord. The powerful cord rewinding action can cause the cord to “whip” back
and forth uncontrollably.
• Never sit or stand on the vacuum cleaner.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner unless all filters and the dust container are properly in place. Filter and/or dust
containers must not be damaged!
• Only use original accessories. If used with parts or accessories not original to the appliance, danger of acci-
dents may be increased. In the event of an accident or damage involving non-original accessories, no liability
can be accepted. The use of non-original parts or accessories and any consequential damage invalidates all
warranties.
• Do not expose the appliance to the effects of weather, dampness or sources of heat. Do not vacuum up any
liquids with the appliance.
• If you intend to use the vacuum cleaner on a recently shampooed carpet, wait until the detergent has com-
pletely dried.
• The appliance has a motor safety function. On overheating (e.g. if the nozzles are blocked or the dust contai-
ner is full) the cyclonic vacuum cleaner cuts out automatically. Clean the filters and empty the dust container
regularly to ensure that this safety function is not triggered!
• Use original filters only. These are available from our customer service department. Using third-party filters
can have a detrimental effect on the performance of the appliance. Do not use any faulty accessories.
• Always make sure that enough cord is extended (we recommend extending about 2/3 of the cord to prevent
heat from building up). Do not pull the cord out of the appliance beyond the yellow mark.
• Make sure that the mains cord is not likely to trip anyone.
