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 later of
the functions of your vacuum cleaner.
• 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 vacuum cleaner unattended when it is switched on. Children
should be supervised when they use the vacuum cleaner.
• Switch the vacuum cleaner off and unplug it when it is not in use, before cleaning,
and before you empty the dust container or clean the filters.
• Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead, hold the
plug. Keep hold of 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.
• To prevent overheating, the cord must be at least 2/3 unrolled if the vacuum
cleaner is to be used for a long period (more than 30 minutes).
• Never use the appliance if it, the cord or the plug is damaged or if the appliance
is not functioning correctly. Never use the vacuum cleaner if the filters have not
been fitted.
• Only use accessories equipped by the manufacturer.
• The appliance is for indoor use only. Do not use it on wet surfaces. Take particular
care when vacuuming stairs, due to the risk of falling or the vacuum cleaner
falling and breaking.
• Do not use the appliance to vacuum matches, hot ashes, cigarette, 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 vacuum cleaner by yourself. If the appliance, cord or plug
needs to be repaired, it should be taken to our after-sales service centre.
