When the machine is delivered, carefully inspect the shipping carton and the machine for damage. If damage is evident, save the shipping carton so that it can be inspected by the carrier that delivered it. Contact the carrier immediately to file a freight damage claim.

For UK and Ireland only: IMPORTANT! THE PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF - KEEP DRY

The cord is already fitted with a molded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating marked thus "10A". If the fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same color as that visible on the pin face of the plug (i.e. red or orange). Fuse covers are available from the Parts Department indicated on the last page. If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off and destroyed. The end of the flexible cord should be suitably prepared and the correct plug fitted. The wires in the main lead are colored in accordance with the following code: Blue - Neutral, Brown - Live. As these colors may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is colored Blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or colored Blue or Black. The wire which is colored Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L, or colored Brown or Red.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL OR COLORED GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW.

*WARNING: A PLUG WITH BARED FLEXIBLE CORDS IS HAZARDOUS IF ENGAGED IN A LIVE SOCKET OUTLET.

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

• Do not leave the appliance when it is plugged in. Unplug the unit from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.

obstructing the float ball from moving freely. Contact Nilfisk if the problem persists.

• Liquid ejected at the spray nozzle could be dangerous as a result of its temperature, pressure or chemical content.

par des enfants ou à proximité de ces derniers.

• N’utiliser que conformément à cette notice avec les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant.

• Ne pas utiliser si le câble ou la fiche est endommagé. Retourner l’appareil à un atelier de réparation s’il ne fonctionne pas bien,

s’il est tombé ou s’il a été endommagé, oublié à l’extérieur ou immergé.

• Ne pas tirer soulever ou traîner l’appareil par le câble. Ne pas utiliser le câble comme une poignée, le coincer dans l’embrasure d’une porte ou l’appuyer contre des arêtes vives ou des coins. Ne pas faire rouler l’appareil sur le câble. Garder le câble à l’écart des surfaces chaudes.

• Ne pas débrancher en tirant sur le câble. Tirer plutôt la fiche.

• Ne pas toucher la fiche ou l’appareil avec des mains humides.

• N’insérer aucun objet dans les ouvertures. Ne pas utiliser l’appareil lorsqu’une ouverture est bloquée. S’assurer que de la

poussière, de la peluche, des cheveux ou d’autres matières ne réduisent pas le débit d’air.

• Mettre toutes les commandes à la position ARRÊT avant de débrancher l’appareil.

• User de prudence lors du nettoyage des escaliers.

• Ne pas aspirer des liquides inflammables ou combustibles, comme de l’essence, et ne pas faire fonctionner dans des endroits

ou peuvent se trouver de tels liquides.

• Si de la mousse ou un liquide s’échappe avec l’air évacué, mettez immédiatement l’aspirateur hors tension. Assurez-vous qu’aucun corps étranger n’empêche le flotteur de se déplacer librement. Si le problème persiste, contactez Nilfisk.

• Le liquide qui sort de l’embout de vaporisation peut s’avérer dangereux en raison de sa température, de sa pression ou du produit chimique qu’il contient.

• Utilisez uniquement les brosses fournies avec l’appareil ou celles spécifiées dans le manuel d’instructions. L’utilisation d’autres brosses peut mettre la sécurité en péril.
