PLEASE NOTE:
•This appliance is intended for domestic use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
•Do not use the appliance to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc. They may damage the appliance.

If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
•When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the mains supply. To minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into the clear bin unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water. (See ‘Cleaning the clear bin’ section on page 8).

PLEASE NOTE:
