INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new vacuum
cleaner, please read through these
instructions carefully before using it for the
first time. We also recommend that you
keep the instructions for future reference,
so that you can remind yourself of the
functions of the vacuum cleaner.
SAFETY MEASURES
• The vacuum cleaner, cord or plug must
not be placed in water or any other
liquid.
• Never touch the vacuum cleaner, cord
or plug with wet or damp hands.
• Never leave the appliance unattended
when it is switched on. Children should
be supervised when they use the
vacuum cleaner.
• Switch the vacuum cleaner off when it
is not in use, and before you change
the dust bag, motor filter or air filter.
• Avoid pulling the cord when removing
the plug from the socket. Instead, hold
the plug. Hold on to the plug when
rewinding the cord, so that it does not
strike the vacuum cleaner. Keep the
cord and appliance away from heat
sources, hot objects and naked flames.
• Never use the appliance if it, the cord or
plug is damaged or if the appliance is
not functioning correctly. Never use the
vacuum cleaner without a dust bag, air
filter or motor filter fitted.
• Only use accessories manufactured or
recommended by the manufacturer.
• The appliance is only for use indoors.
Do not use the appliance on wet
surfaces. Take particular care when
vacuuming stairs.
• Do not use the appliance to clean up
matches, hot ashes, cigarette butts,
hard and sharp objects, wet or damp
substances, combustible materials
(petrol, solvents, etc.) or vapour from
these.
• Do not cover the appliance’s suction or
exhaust port. Ensure that you keep
clothing, hair and body parts away from
the nozzle and moving parts of the
vacuum cleaner.
• Never try to repair the appliance
yourself. If the appliance, cord or plug
needs to be repaired, it should be taken
to an authorised service centre.
Contact your retailer if the repairs fall
under the terms of the warranty.
