WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the multifunction

disconnecting the attachments, or carrying out maintenance
or troubleshooting checks.
NOTE: Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly
before washing.
IMPORTANT: It is very important that filters are kept clean
to obtain maximum performance from your vacuum cleaner.
Not cleaning and not replacing the filters regularly can
reduce the suction power and cause overheating and
permanent damage to the vacuum cleaner. If your filters are
washable make sure they are completely dry before inserting
back into the multifunction machine.
IMPORTANT: If the hose or tools are blocked, switch off the
multifunction cleaner and remove the blockage(s) before
re-starting your machine. See maintenance.
