3. Always turn off and disconnect from the power before cleaning.
4. Do not operate the appliance if the power adaptor of power cord is damaged in any way.
5. If the power adaptor is damaged, it must only be replaced by an approved power adaptor that
is deemed suitable by the manufacturer.
6. Do not use a power adaptor that has not been recommended by the manufacturer as being
suitable for charging this appliance.
7. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
8. The appliance is not a toy. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with this
appliance.
9. The function of this appliance may disturb some animals (pets). All animals should be isolated from
areas where this appliance is operating.
10. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not wet or spray liquids onto the R-Vac Pet.
11. The R-Vac Pet has edge sensors to prevent it from falling down steps or off platforms. However,
barriers should be used to prevent access to drop-offs where a danger to others may be presented
in the case of a malfunction or misuse.
12. Clear the area to be cleaned of fragile items, clothing, power cords, pull cords for curtains and blinds.
If the R-Vac Pet passes over and drags a power cord, the object may topple off a cabinet or shelf.
13. Do not use the cleaner to pick up any of the following:
- do not attempt to pick up liquid – this cleaner is designed for dry substances only.
- do not pick up items that may ignite spontaneously – e.g. matches, pieces of firelighter.
- do not pick up anything burning or smouldering – e.g. cigarette ends, ashes or embers.
- do not pick up spillage from toner cartridges – the fine carbon particles may attach to the
brushes and be spread throughout the cleaning area.
- do not pick up cement or plaster dust – these can combine with moisture in the air, clog the filter,
and possibly cause the motor to overheat and burn out.
- do not pick up sharp objects – they may pierce the filter and damage the motor.
- do not pick up biological waste – you will eventually have to clean it off the filter and there
is a possibility of viral particles passing through the filter and entering your air supply.
14. Do not use the cleaner for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
15. Use only the accessories supplied with the appliance.
16. Do not look directly into the UV lamp light source.
17. Do not leave the appliance sitting in sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays may damage the plastic.
18. For added safety, electrical appliances should be connected to a power outlet that is protected by
a residual current device (RCD), also often referred to as a 'Safety Switch'. Your switchboard may
already incorporate an RCD. If unsure, call an electrician for verification and fitting if necessary.
