IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read all instructions carefully. Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the
cleaner.
2. WARNING: Do not use the vacuum cleaner when rug or floor is wet.
Do not use to suck up water.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not
allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to run
unattended at any time. Use the vacuum cleaner only for its intended use as described in
these instructions.
4. Do not use the vacuum cleaner without a dust bag (dust bin). Empty the dust bin before it
is full in order to maintain the best efficiency.
5. Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up matches, live ashes or cigarette butts. Keep the
vacuum cleaner away from stoves and other heat sources. Heat can deform and dis-
colour the plastic parts of the unit.
6. Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the vacuum cleaner as they may damage the
cleaner parts. Do not stand on the hose assembly. Do not put a weight on the hose. Do
not block the suction or the exhaust port.
7. Switch the vacuum cleaner off on the body of the machine before unplugging from the
electrical outlet. Disconnect plug from the electrical outlet before changing the dust bag or
dust container. To avoid damage, please remove the plug by grasping the plug itself, not
by pulling on the cord.

ance.

11. If your vacuum cleaner is not operating correctly, switch off the power supply and consult
an authorized service agent.
12. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
