Safety with children

Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.

Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close atten-
tion is necessary when used near children.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before connecting
the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your power source should cor-
respond with the voltage rating plate located on the underside of the
vacuum. Use only household AC outlets. Never use DC power
sources. If you are not sure of your home's voltage supply, consult a
qualified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a higher volt-
age than indicated in these instructions may result in damage to the
vacuum cleaner or injury.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polar-
ized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, re-
verse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.
Technical safety

Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories, check for
any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

Ensure that the connection data on the data plate of the vacuum
cleaner (voltage and frequency) match the household power supply.
Without modifications, the vacuum cleaner is suited for 50Hz or
60Hz.

The electrical outlet must be fitted with a 15 A fuse.

Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can only be
assured if it has been connected to the electricity supply.
