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.
• Do not use the kit to vacuum up matches, hot
ashes, cigarette butts, hard or sharp objects, wet
or damp substances, combustible materials (petrol,

Cord and plug
• Keep the cord and appliance away from heat

corners or jamming it in doors, etc.
• Switch off and unplug it when not in use, before you
clean the dust filter or change the dust container or
clean the air filter.
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 strike the appliance.

have the appliance inspected and if necessary
