Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

￿To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner without the dustbag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place. Otherwise it could get damaged.

￿If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust compartment cover does not normally close. Do not force it.

￿Do not vacuum up any water, liquid or damp dirt. This will cause major faults and could seriously impair the functioning and electrical safety of the appliance. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor coverings are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.

￿Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity. The filter system in the vacuum cleaner may not filter it completely, causing the toner to be blown back into the room by the fan.

￿Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glowing or apparently extinguished. The cleaner might catch fire.

￿Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible liquids or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored. The cleaner might explode.

￿Do not vacuum up items which are heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They could cause a blockage and damage the appliance.

￿Floor attachments, accessories and tubes must not be used at head level to avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and ears.

￿Monitor the change dustbag indicator and change the dustbag if necessary. Check the exhaust and dust compartment filters at the same time and change them too if necessary. A full bag or blocked filter will reduce the suction power of the cleaner. A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner off automatically if it gets too hot. See "Problem solving guide".

￿Important information on the handling of batteries (for models with radio controls on the handle):

–Do not use rechargeable batteries.

–Do not short circuit or recharge batteries, or throw them into a fire. Danger of explosion.

–Disposing of batteries: Remove the batteries from the radio control handle and dispose of them in your recycling bin. Do not dispose of them with the normal household waste.
