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
later of the functions of your 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 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 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 manufactured or
recommended 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 up
matches, hot ashes, cigarette butts, hard or
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
yourself. If the appliance, cord or plug needs
to be repaired, it should be taken to an
authorised service centre. Please contact the
store where you bought the device for
repairs under guarantee.
