IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this
type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to.
Keep the manual in a safe
place for future reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase
receipt and carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of
the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure your local outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond
to the voltage indicated on the appliance rating label.
• Safe connection: Insert the plug firmly into an appropriate mains socket.
Do not alter the plug. Do not use an extension cord or electrical outlet with
inadequate current-carrying capacity.
• Protect from moisture: To protect against fire and electric shock, do not
immerse the cord, plug or the appliance itself in water or other liquid. Ensure
your hands are dry before handling the plug or switching on the appliance.
Do not use it outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Protect the power cord: Do not kink or damage the power cord. Do not
wrap it around the appliance. Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the
cord. Do not use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord or pull the
cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum cleaner over the
cord. Run the cord in such a way that there will be no risk of anyone pulling it
inadvertently or tripping over it. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Cord retraction: This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a plug and a power
supply cord that automatically retracts. If anything is damaged, both the plug
and the cord must be repaired by a qualified repairer or electrician. When
unplugging, grab the plug, do not pull the cord. Then press the cord retraction
pedal and hold the plug, guiding it back onto the cord reel to prevent whipping
and causing injury or damage.
• Disconnect after use: Always switch off the appliance first and then unplug
the cord from the outlet when you have finished vacuuming, before connecting
or changing accessories and before emptying or cleaning the dust tank.
• Unattended: Do not leave the vacuum cleaner unattended when plugged in.
