When using the vacuum cleaner, basic safety

surfaces. Do not handle the plug or vacuum
cleaner with wet hands. Do not use outdoors
or on wet surfaces.
2. Turn off the vacuum cleaner controls before
disconnecting or connecting from the
mains supply.

connecting or disconnecting the vacuum hose
and accessories.
4. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
5. This appliance is not intended for use by

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
6. Only use as described in this manual. Only use
recommended attachments.
7. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped
into water.
8. Do not use the vacuum cleaner with a
damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord is
damaged, call the helpline for assistance.
9. Do not pull or carry by cord/hose. Do not use
the cord/hose as a handle, close a door on
the cord/hose or pull cord/hose around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum
cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away
from heated surfaces.
10. Do not put any objects into openings. Do not
use with any openings blocked and do not
restrict air-flow. Keep all openings free of dust,
lint, hair or anything that might reduce airflow.

18. Keep vacuuming area well lit.
19. Store the vacuum cleaner in a cool, dry area.
20. Turn off the on/off switch before unplugging the
vacuum cleaner.
21. Only use CE-approved 13 amp extension
cords. Non-approved cords may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that the
cord cannot be tripped over.
WARNING: Always switch off and unplug
the vacuum cleaner from the electrical
outlet before assembling, opening or emptying
the dirt container, connecting/disconnecting the
attachments, or carrying out maintenance or
troubleshooting checks.
CAUTION: The vacuum cleaner is a very
powerful unit. Before plugging the cord into
the electrical 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.
IMPORTANT: We recommend that filters
should be checked and cleaned periodically.
For washable filters, ensure they are completely
dry before inserting back into the vacuum cleaner.
Do not wash with detergents. Only use warm
water, max 40°C.
IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a
thermal cut-out. If for any reason the unit
should overheat, 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 dirt container and empty.
Clean filters. Allow the unit to cool for approximately
one (1) hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical
outlet and switch back on.
This vacuum cleaner is intended for
household use only and NOT for commercial
or industrial use.
PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER USE.
