1 • Precautions before use
Read the instructions carefully and then store them safely.
• Your vacuum cleaner is an electric appliance: it must always be used under normal conditions. Use
and store the appliance away from children's reach. Never leave the appliance on and unattended.
Never hold the end of the vacuum tube near your eyes or ears.
• Never vacuum wet surfaces or liquids, no matter what their nature; hot substances; ultra-fine
substances such as plaster, cement or ashes; large cutting waste materials such as glass; toxic
products such as solvents or paint strippers; aggressive products such as acids or strong cleaners;
or gasoline or alcohol-based flammable or explosive materials.
• Never submerge the product or charge it under water or under any other liquid. Never spray water
on the appliance or on the charger.
• Do not store the appliance outdoors and keep it in a cool, dry place at all times.
• Do not place the appliance near a heat source (ovens, electric heaters or hot radiators).
• Do not expose the batteries to a room temperature above 104ºF (40°C).
• Do not take the vacuum cleaner apart while it is on.
• Never use your vacuum cleaner without the dust tray and the foam rubber motor protection filter.
• Do not use the appliance:
- If it fell and shows visible signs of deterioration or functional anomalies.
