When I use my
vacuum cleaner I
sometimes feel
electric shocks.
Your vacuum cleaner
has built up static
electricity. The lower
the air humidity in the
rooms, the more static
electricity the
appliance builds up.
To reduce this inconvenience, we advise you to
discharge the appliance by frequently holding the
tube against other metal objects in the room (for
example legs of a table or chair, radiator etc.).
