Intended use

This vacuum cleaner is intended for domestic use and not for commercial use.

This vacuum cleaner should only be used in accordance with this instruction manual.

The manufacturer will not accept any responsibility for damage caused by improper use or incorrect operation. Therefore, please note the following points.

The vacuum cleaner must only be operated with:

Manufacturer’s original dust bags

Manufacturer’s replacement parts, accessories and optional accessories

The vacuum cleaner is not to be used for:

Vacuuming persons or animals

Vacuuming up:

–insects or spiders

–hazardous, sharp-edged, hot or burning substances

–damp or liquid substances

–highly flammable or explosive substances and gases

–Ash, soot from tiled stoves and central heating systems

Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it is damaged. Unplug the power cord from the mains if a fault is detected.

To prevent you from being exposed to risks, vacuum cleaner repairs and the fitting of replacement parts must only be carried out by the authorised aftersales service.

The vacuum cleaner should be protected from outside weather conditions, moisture and sources of heat.

The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for use on building sites.

=> Vacuuming up building rubble could damage the vacuum cleaner.

Switch off the vacuum cleaner when it is not in use.

At the end of its life, the vacuum cleaner should be disposed of in an appropriate manner.

For safety reasons, vacuum cleaners with a power rating of more than 2,000 W are fitted with a temperature safety switch.

This automatically switches off the vacuum cleaner if it is blocked and overheating. Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains and make sure that the nozzles, suction pipe and hose are not blocked and check whether the filter needs replacing.

Having cleared the blockage, leave the vacuum cleaner to cool down for at least one hour. It can then be switched back on again.

Safety information

This vacuum cleaner complies with the recognised rules of technology and the relevant safety regulations. We confirm compliance with the following European directives: 89/336/EEC (amended by Directives 91/263/EEC, 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC). 73/23/EEC (amended by Directive 93/68/EEC).

Always observe the information on the rating plate when using the vacuum cleaner and connecting to the power supply.

Never use the vacuum cleaner without a dust bag fitted.

=> This can damage the vacuum cleaner.

Only allow children to use the vacuum cleaner under strict supervision.

Keep the vacuum cleaner away from the face when using tools and tubes.

=> Risk of injury.

Never carry the vacuum cleaner by the power cord.

Fully extend the power cord when using the vacuum cleaner continuously for several hours.

When disconnecting the appliance from the mains, pull the plug, not the power cord.

Do not pull the power cord around sharp corners or allow it to become trapped.

Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains before carrying out any work on it.

Disposal information

Packaging

The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from being damaged during transportation. It is made of environment-friendly materials and can be recycled.

Dispose of packaging that is no longer required at an appropriate recycling point.

Used vacuum cleaners

Used vacuum cleaners still contain many recyclable materials.

Therefore, please take used vacuum cleaners to your retailer or recycling centre so that they can be recycled.

For current disposal methods, please enquire at your appliance dealership or local council.

!Please note

Only connect the appliance to a socket that is protected by at least a 16 amp fuse.

If a fuse should blow when you switch on the vacuum cleaner, this may be because other electrical appliances which have a high current draw are connected to the same power circuit.

To prevent the fuse from tripping, select the lowest power setting before switching the vacuum cleaner on, and increase the power only once it is running.

Vacuuming with the brush
