IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning, maintenance and
repairs
~
Turn the vacuum cleaner off after
each use and before every cleaning /
maintenance. Pull the plug from the
outlet.
~
Never submerge the vacuum
cleaner in water. Clean only with a dry
cloth or slightly damp cloth when
disconnected from the mains supply. If
moisture gets into the appliance there
is a risk of electrical shock.
~
Monitor the dustbag change
indicator and inspect all filters regularly.
For best performance, the dustbag and
filters should be replaced when
necessary. A full bag or blocked filter
will reduce the vacuum cleaners'
suction power. A temperature limiter
automatically switches the vacuum
cleaner off if it gets too hot, see
"Maintenance and Care - What if the
vacuum turns off automatically?".
~
Repairs during the warranty period
should only be performed by an
authorized service agent in accordance
with national and local safety
regulations. Unauthorized repairs could
cause injury or machine damage and
may void the warranty.
Disposing of an old appliance
~
Before discarding an old vacuum
cleaner, please cut off the power cord,
and render the plug useless. Ensure
the appliance presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal
