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.
