0. Use only CE-approved 13 amp extension cords.
Non-approved cords may overheat. Care should be taken to
arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be tripped over.
WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical outlet before assembling, opening
or emptying the dirt container, or before connecting/disconnecting the
attachments.
CAUTION: The vacuum cleaner is a very powerful unit.
Before plugging the cord into the electrical outlet, make sure
the switch is in the ‘off’ position.
IMPORTANT: If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube is blocked,
switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the blockage(s)
before re-starting the vacuum cleaner. See Maintenance: Clearing
blockages.
IMPORTANT: Washing filters maintains vacuum
performance. Vax recommends that they should
be checked and cleaned periodically (depending on the level of use).
Make sure all filters are completely dry before inserting back into the
vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out.
If for any reason the unit should overheat, the thermostat
will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the
vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet and turn off the switch.
Remove dirt container and empty. Clean filters. Allow the unit to cool
for approximately one (1) hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical
outlet and switch back on.
This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use only and NOT for
commercial or industrial use.
PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER USE.
