r if it has been dropped,

damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water. Do not

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

the manufacturer or a recommended Service Agent to

sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum

cleaner over the cord. Keep the c

ord away from

heated surfaces.

WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the

IMPORTANT: If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube is

blocked, switch off the vacuum clean

er 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 i

nto 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.
