unattended. Never hold the end of the vacuum tube near your eyes or ears.
• Never vacuum wet surfaces or liquids, no matter what their nature; hot substances; ultra-fine
substances such as plaster, cement or ashes; large cutting waste materials such as glass; toxic
products such as solvents or paint strippers; aggressive products such as acids or strong cleaners;
or gasoline or alcohol-based flammable or explosive materials.
• Never submerge the product or charge it under water or under any other liquid. Never spray
water on the appliance or on the charger.
• Do not store the appliance outdoors and keep it in a cool, dry place at all times.
