SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT! Always switch off the cleaner and remove the power plug from
the electricity power supply before cleaning your appliance, when not in use
or attempting any maintenance task. The cleaner must only be connected
to an AC power supply at the voltage shown on the rating label. This cleaner
should only be used for its intended purpose as described in this instruction
manual. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without filters.
When using your vacuum cleaner, basic
precautions should always be observed,
including the following;
1. 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 use
of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
2. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the vacuum
cleaner.
3. Keep ends of the hose, telescopic tube
and other openings away from your face
and body.
4. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner too
close to heaters, radiators or other hot
surfaces.
5. Do not use the appliance to pick
up flammable items or combustible
liquids (i.e. petrol, hot ashes, cigarettes,
matches, explosive materials or anything
burning) or use in areas where such
substances or items may be present.
6. Do not use the appliance to pick up
toxic materials (i.e. chlorine, bleach,
ammonia).
7. Before vacuuming, remove any large
objects from the floor or cleaning surface
in order to prevent damage to the filter.
8. Always check the power cord before
use. The power cord and the power plug
should be in a good condition and must
not be damaged. If the power supply

replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.

the yellow mark.

before unplugging.
12. Do not unplug by pulling on the power
cord. To unplug, grasp the power plug not
the power cord and gently pull the power
plug from the power socket. Use only
