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 of the functions of the 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 appliance unattended when it is switched on. Children should be supervised when they use the vacuum cleaner.
•Switch the vacuum cleaner off when it is not in use, and before you change the dust bag, motor filter or air filter.
•Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead, hold the plug. Hold on to 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.
•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 without a dust bag, air filter or motor filter fitted.
•Only use accessories manufactured or recommended by the manufacturer.
•The appliance is only for use indoors. Do not use the appliance on wet surfaces. Take particular care when vacuuming stairs.
•Do not use the appliance to clean up matches, hot ashes, cigarette butts, hard and 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 appliance yourself. If the appliance, cord or plug needs to be repaired, it should be taken to an authorised service centre. Contact your retailer if the repairs fall under the terms of the warranty.
