surfaces.
2. Turn off the vacuum cleaner controls before
connecting or disconnecting from the mains supply.

connecting or disconnecting the vacuum hose and

Use only the manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
6. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into
water. Do not use the vacuum cleaner with a
damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord or plug is
damaged, return the vacuum cleaner to a Vax
Authorised Service Agent or suitably qualified
person for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. Do not pull or carry by the cord. Do not use the cord
as a handle, close a door on the cord or pull the cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the
vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away
from heated surfaces.
8. Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with wet
hands. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

anything that may reduce airflow.

outlet, make sure the switch is in the ‘off’ position. Hold
the vacuum cleaner firmly when starting and in use.
IMPORTANT: If the inlet, hose or extension tube is
blocked, switch off the vacuum cleaner and
remove the blockage(s) before re-starting the vacuum
cleaner.

replaced back into the vacuum cleaner before using. This

Motor Thermostat
IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a
thermal cut-out. If for any reason, the vacuum
cleaner should over-heat, the thermostat will
automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur,
unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet
and turn off the switch. Remove the dirt container
and empty. Clean the filters. Allow the cleaner to cool
for approximately one (1) hour. To re-start, plug into
an electrical outlet and switch back on.
