2. Safety Information
For Household Use Only
When using the vacuum cleaner, basic safety precautions
should always be observed, including the following:
1. Only use the vacuum cleaner indoors on dry
surfaces. Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner
with wet hands. Do not use outdoors or on wet
surfaces.
2. Turn off the vacuum cleaner controls before
connecting or disconnecting from the mains supply.
3. Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before
connecting or disconnecting the vacuum hose and
accessories.
4. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
5. The appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
6. Use only as described in this manual.
Use only the manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
7. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into
water. Do not use the vacuum cleaner with a
damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord or plug is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or a recommended Service Agent to avoid hazard
and invalidating the guarantee.
8. Do not pull or carry by the cord. Do not use the cord
as a handle, close a door on the cord or pull the cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the
vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away
from heated surfaces.
9. Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use
with any openings blocked and do not restrict air
flow. Keep all openings free of dust, lint, hair or
anything that may reduce airflow.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the
body away from openings and moving parts.
11. Do not pick up hot coals, cigarette butts, matches or
any hot, smoking or burning objects.
12. Do not pick up flammable or combustible materials
(lighter fluid, petrol, kerosene, etc) or use in the
presence of explosive liquids or vapours.
13. Do not vacuum up harmful or toxic material (chlorine
bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc).
14. Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects such as
glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.
15. Do not use without the filters in place.
16. Take extra care when vacuuming stairs.
17. Keep vacuuming area well lit.
18. Store the vacuum cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.
19. Turn off the on/off switch before unplugging the
vacuum cleaner.
20. Use only CE-approved 13 amp extension cords. Nonapproved extension cords may overheat. Care should
be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot
be pulled or 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. Hold the vacuum cleaner firmly when
starting and in use.
IMPORTANT: If the inlet or hose is blocked,
switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the
blockage(s) before re-starting the vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Cleaning filters improves vacuum
performance.
This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use
only and not for commercial or industrial use.
Motor Thermostat
IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-
out. If for any reason, the vacuum cleaner 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 the dirt
container and empty. Clean the filters. Allow the cleaner
to cool for approximately one (1) hour. To re-start, plug
into an electrical outlet and switch back on.
Soft-start
IMPORTANT: All models are fitted with a soft-start
system. When the unit is switched on, the motor will take
a few seconds to build up to full power. The purpose of
this function is to offer better protection to the
vacuum motor.
