Safety information
This vacuum cleaner complies with the reco-

safety regulations.
We confirm compliance with the following
European directives: 89/336/EEC (amended
by Directives 91/263/EEC, 92/31/EEC and
93/68/EEC). 73/23/EEC (amended by
Directive 93/68/EEC).
The vacuum cleaner should only be
connected and commissioned in accor-
dance with the details on the rating plate.
Never use the vacuum cleaner without the
MEGAfilt ® SuperTEX dust bag.
=> This could damage the vacuum cleaner.
Only allow children to use the vacuum cle-
aner when supervised.
Keep the vacuum cleaner away from the
face when using nozzles and pipe.
=> Risk of injury.
Do not carry/transport the vacuum cleaner
by the power cord.
Fully extend the power cord if the
appliance is to be used continously for
several hours.
To disconnect the appliance from the
mains, pull the plug, not the power cord.
Do not pull the power cord around sharp
corners and do not allow it to become
trapped.
Unplug the power cord from the mains
before carrying out any work on the vacu-
um cleaner or its accessories.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it is
damaged. Unplug the power cord from the
mains if a fault is detected.
Repairs and the fitting of replacement
parts to the vacuum cleaner must only be
carried out by the authorised after-sales
service.
Protect the vacuum cleaner from external
weather conditions, moisture and sources
of heat.
Switch off the vacuum cleaner when it is
not being used.
Make worn out appliances unusable, then
dispose of the appliance in an appropriate
manner.
For safety, the vacuum cleaner is fitted
with a temperature safety switch, which
automatically switches the vacuum cleaner
off if it is blocked and overheating. Unplug
the power cord from the mains and make
sure that the nozzle, suction pipe and hose
are not blocked. Also check whether the
filter needs to be changed.
Having removed the fault, leave the vacu-
um cleaner to cool down for at least one
hour. You can then use it again.
