thorized service technician. Repairs by unqualified persons can
cause considerable danger to users.

Proper use

To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner with-
out the FilterBag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.

The dust compartment cover will not close without a FilterBag in-
serted. Do not force it.

Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or smoking,
e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glowing or apparently ex-
tinguished.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liquid or
damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or car-
pets are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner, such
as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.

Do not vacuum up any flammable or combustible liquids or gases
and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.

Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get any-
where near a person's head.
