en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use the robot vacuum cleaner to vacuum up anything
which has been burning or is still glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or
coal, whether glowing or apparently extinguished. Do not use it in
the vicinity of a fireplace.

Do not use the robot vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liq-
uid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed car-
pets or floor coverings are completely dry before attempting to vac-
uum.


Do not use the robot vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any in-
flammable or combustible liquids or gases and do not use it in areas
