POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply i nsert the plug into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.

• The dust level indicator turns red when the dust container should be emptied. In this case, refer to the MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING section. However, even if the indicator is not completely red, make sure the dust level never exceeds the MAX indication on the dust container.

• Moreover, the hose might get blocked by a larger object. In this case the dust level indicator will be red as well, but this will not mean that you have to empty the container. You will just have to remove the object, which blocks your tube or flexible hose, and your appliance will function properly again. Do not forget to unplug the appliance before removing the blocking object.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Before starting cleaning and maintenance, always switch off and unplug the appliance.

• Never put any accessory in the dishwasher.

• Never use abrasive products for cleaning.

Cleaning the appliance

The housing of the appliance can be cleaned with soft damp cloth. Make sure no water enters in the appliance when doing so.

Cleaning the filters and the dust container

The filters guarantee you fresh air when vacuum cleaning. Filters that are maintained properly will allow your appliance to keep its maximum suction power. The dirtier the filters, the weaker the suction power will be. It is necessary to clean the filters regularly to avoid operation problems.

Each filter should be checked, cleaned or replaced respecting the following instructions:

Emptying and cleaning the dust container

• Take the dust container out of the appliance by raising it by its handle.

• A push button is located on the dust container that you can use to open and empty it automatically. To do this, hold the dust container over your dustbin and press the bottom release button.
