from the Electrolux Group. To ensure total
satisfaction, read the instruction manual carefully.
Retain for reference.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING (THIS APPLIANCE)
When using an electrical appliance, basic precaution
should always be followed, including the following:
Before connecting the cleaner to an electrical supply
outlet ensure that the voltage marked on the rating
plate ( on the underside of the cleaner ) is correct
for your electrical supply. If it does not comply, do
not use the cleaner prior to contacting
the manufacturer.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:
1. Do not leave vacuum cleaner when
plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not
in use and before servicing.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance. Close attention is necessary
when used near children.
4. This 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.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
5. Use only as described in this manual.
Use only manufactures
recommended attachments.
6. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If
vacuum cleaner is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped in water, enter it to a service
centre before using.
7. Do not pull or carry on cord, use as a handle.
Do not close door on cord, or pull around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner
over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
8. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
9. Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner
with wet hands.
10. Do not put any object into openings.
Do not use with any opening blocked.
Keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything
that may reduce airflow.
11. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and
all parts of body away from openings
and moving parts.
12.
Turn all controls off before unplugging.
13.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs
.
14. Do not use to pick up flammable or
combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or
use in areas where they may be present.
15. Unplug before connecting the hose.
16. Do not pick up anything that is burning
or
smoking, such as cigarettes, matches,
or hot ashes.
17. Do not use without dust bag and/or filter
in place.
18.
Do not use extension cords or outlets with
inadequate current carrying capacity.
19. We recommend you do not use your
vacuum on carpet cleaning foams, sharp
or heavy building materials or plaster dust.
They could damage or clog dustbag
and cause failures to other key parts
in your vacuum cleaner and render your
warranty invalid.
20. Store your cleaner indoors in a cool,
dry area.
21. Keep your work area well lighted.
22. Unplug electrical appliances before
vacuuming them.
SERVICE & REPAIR
It is dangerous to alter the specification or modify
the product in any way. Under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the cleaner yourself.
Repairs are undertaken by unauthorized or
inexperienced persons may cause injury and/or
serious malfunction and may void warranty.
NB! To avoid injury and prevent damage to the
machine, a defective lead must only be replaced by
an authorised Volta service provider approved by
the manufacturer.
The cleaner should be serviced by an authorized
Volta service provider and only genuine Volta spare
parts should be used.
Double Insulation
Your vacuum cleaner is double insulated. This means
that all external parts are electrically insulated from
the mains. This is done by placing insulation barriers
between the electrical and mechanical components,
making it unnecessary for the cleaner to be earthed.
