IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read all instructions carefully. Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the
cleaner.
2. WARNING: Do not use the vacuum cleaner when rug or floor is wet.
Do not use to suck up water.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not
allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to run
unattended at any time. Use the vacuum cleaner only for its intended use as described in
these instructions.

is full in order to maintain the best efficiency.
5. Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up matches,live ashes or cigarette butts. Keep the

electrical outlet. Disconnect plug from the electrical outlet before changing the dust bag or
dust container. To avoid damage, please remove the plug by grasping the plug itself, not
by pulling on the cord.
