Do not pull or carry the appliance by the cable, and be careful
not to damage the cable when withdrawing the plug from the socket.
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. This could
damage the cable, plug or socket. The vacuum cleaner must not be

plug or socket is a safety hazard.
