IMPORTANT ADVICE
• Read these instructions carefully. Safeguard
them for future reference.
• This appliance has been designed exclusively
for domestic use. It must only be used in
accordance with these instructions. The
manufacturer will not be held any responsibility
for any damage caused by improper use or
incorrect operation.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner on people or
animals.
• Never vacuum up hot or glowing substances,
sharp-edged objects and in
fl ammable or
explosive substances.
• Do not let children handle the appliance.
• Do not expose the vacuum cleaner to outdoor
weather conditions, dampness or heat. Do not
leave the vacuum cleaner beside hot ovens,
heaters or radiators.
• Before plugging the appliance into the mains
supply, make sure that the voltage corresponds
to that stated on the characteristics plate.
• The appliance must be switched off before
plugging it in or unplugging it.
• Do not operate the appliance with the cable
still coiled.
• Do not unplug the appliance by tugging on the
cable.
• Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains
supply when not in use and before proceeding
to clean it or change the bags or
fi lters.
• This vacuum cleaner must not be used
without the dust bag and
fi lters. This could
damage the appliance.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner if any of its
openings are obstructed, as this will reduce
the air
fl ow causing it to overheat, which may
damage the appliance.
• Do not handle either the vacuum or the plug
with wet hands. Do not immerse the appliance
in water.
• Do not pull on either the cable or the suction
tube to move the vacuum cleaner. Use the
carrying handle.
• Do not use the appliance if either the cable or
plug is damaged or if it can be detected that the
appliance is not working correctly.
• When closing doors, make sure not to pinch
the cable.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack or experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• At the end of its life, the vacuum cleaner should
be disposed of in an appropriate manner.
• Cable repairs and replacements must be
carried out exclusively by an authorized
technical service centre.
• ATTENTION: Do not use the vacuum
cleaner to suck up building waste (cement,
brick dust, rubble, etc.). These types of particles
quickly clog up the pores in the dust bag causing
the appliance to overheat.
