FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

When using the vacuum cleaner, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:

1. Only use the vacuum cleaner indoors on dry 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.

3. Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before 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 persons (including children) with reduced 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.

11. Keep hair, loose clothing, ﬁngers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

12. Do not pick up hot coals, cigarette butts, matches or any hot, smoking or burning objects.

13. Do not pick up ﬂammable or combustible materials (lighter ﬂuid, petrol, kerosene etc.) or use in the presence of explosive liquids or vapours.

14. Do not vacuum up harmful or toxic material (chlorine, bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner etc.).

15. Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails, screws, coins, etc. Do not use without ALL of the ﬁlters in place.

17. Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs.

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.
