AVERTISSEMENT
Pour réduire le risque de feu, de décharge électrique ou de blessure:
• N’utilisez pas cet aspirateur à l’extérieur ou sur une surface humide.

ou près des enfants.
• Utilisez-le seulement comme il est décrit dans ce livret. Utilisez seulement les
accessoires recommandés par le fabricant.

pas comme il faut; s’il est tombé; s’il a été endommagé, laissé à l’extérieur ou plongé
dans l’eau, retournez-le à un centre de service après-vente avant de l’utiliser.
