ARNING: 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 restarting the vacuum cleaner. See Maintenance; Clearing Blockages.
IMPORTANT: Cleaning filters maintains vacuum performance.
Vax recommends that your filters should be checked and cleaned
periodically. If your filters are washable make sure they 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.
