Do not vacuum up liquids or damp
dirt. This will cause major faults
and could seriously impair the function-
ing and electrical safety of the appli-
ance. Wait until any freshly cleaned or
shampooed carpets or floor coverings
are completely dry before attempting to
vacuum.
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 toner dust.
Toner, such as that used in printers
and photocopiers can conduct electric-
ity. The filter system in the vacuum
cleaner may not filter it completely and
so the toner could be blown back into
the atmosphere by the fan.
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 dam-
age 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.
Do not pull or carry the appliance
by the cable. When disconnecting
from the mains socket pull by the plug
not by the cable.
- Keep the cable away from sharp
edges and do not let it be squashed,
for example, under a door.
- Avoid running the vacuum cleaner
over the cable.
A damaged cable, plug or socket is a
safety hazard. The appliance must not
be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
Monitor the change dustbag indi-
cator 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 temper-
ature limiter switches the vacuum
cleaner off automatically if it gets too
hot, see section "Problem solving
guide".
