INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new appliance, please read
this user guide carefully before using it for the first
time. Take particular note of the safety precautions.
We also recommend that you keep the instructions for
future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the
functions of your appliance.

Use
• Do not use it on wet surfaces.
• Take particular care when vacuuming stairs, due to
the risk of falling.

corners or jamming it in doors, etc.
• Switch off the appliance and unplug it when it is
not in use, and before you replace the dust bag and
clean or replace the filters.
o Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug
from the socket. Instead, hold the plug.
o Keep hold of the plug when rewinding the cord,
so that it does not bump against the appliance or
