! Please note:

Floor tools are subject to a certain
amount of wear, depending on the
type of hard floor you have (e.g.
rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you
must check the underside of the floor
tool at regular intervals. Worn under­sides of floor tools may have sharp
edges that can damage sensitive hard
floors, such as parquet or linoleum.
The manufacturer does not accept
any responsibility for damage caused
by worn floor tools.

If you are vacuuming up relatively
large particles, make sure that you
vacuum them up successively and
carefully to ensure that the vacuum
channel of the floor tool does not
become blocked. If necessary, you
should raise the nozzl

better vacuum up the dirt particles.
