IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instruction before use and keep for future reference.
Location
• Do not use or keep the appliance outside.
• Do not store the appliance near hot ovens or heating appliances.
• Store the appliance inside in a dry environment away from accidental damage.
Mains lead
• Do not allow the mains lead to become strained or run this appliance over it.
• If the electrical cable becomes damaged, stop using the appliance immediately.
The unit must be returned to a qualified service engineer for repair.
Children
• Children do not understand the dangers associated with operating electrical
appliances. Never allow children to use this appliance.
Other safety considerations
• Never use the appliance without the filter installed.
• Never use the appliance to vacuum hot ashes, broken glass, sharp objects or liquids.
• Never use in the presence of explosive liquids or vapours.
• Never pick up inflammable or poisonous liquids such as petrol, copier toner, or other
volatile substances. Never pick up acids, asbestos or asbestos dust.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the mains supply after use or prior to cleaning
or replacing dust bags.
• The appliance should never be left running unsupervised.
• Never modify the cleaner in any way.
• Repairs to electrical appliances are only to be undertaken by trained personnel.
• Unprofessional repairs can be dangerous.
• Use only genuine Proaction spare parts and accessories.
• Never handle electrical appliances with wet hands.
• Static charge can occur in many ways and, when vacuuming, certain carpets may
generate small static charges in the clear bin. These are entirely harmless and are
not associated with the mains supply. To minimise any effect from this, do not put
your hand or insert any object into the clear bin unless you have first emptied and
rinsed out the clear bin with water.
Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate of your appliance corresponds with your
house electricity supply which must be A.C. (Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance, check with a qualified electrician for replacement.
WARNING: If the plug is removed or the mains cable is severed this unit must
be destroyed as it creates a hazard.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require replacement, a BS1362 13 amp fuse must
be fitted.
Overheating safety device
Your vacuum cleaner is fitted with a safety device that switches off the vacuum cleaner
in the event of overheating. Should the vacuum cleaner stop working, turn the vacuum
cleaner off and inspect for blockage of the air inlet or outlet. Wait at least 15 minutes
for the protection system to reset before attempting to restart the vacuum cleaner. If
the vacuum cleaner fails to operate or the safety device switches the vacuum cleaner
off again, return it to your nearest service centre for examination or repair. 1
