SERVICE & REPAIR
It is dangerous to alter the specications or modify the product in any way. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to repair the cleaner yourself.
Repairs undertaken by unauthorised or inexperienced persons may cause injury and / or
serious malfunction of the cleaner and may void the warranty conditions on page 10 of this
instruction booklet.
NB! To avoid injury and prevent damage to the vacuum cleaner a defective cord must only
be replaced by an authorised service provider approved by the manufacturer to avoid a
hazard. The vacuum cleaner should be serviced by an authorised service provider and only
genuine Volta 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 necessary for the cleaner not to be earthed.
WARNING: On collection of proprietary carpet conditioning powder, plaster / concrete dust
and talcum powder, it is recommended that the dust container is emptied and the cartridge
lter is cleaned after each use. Some of thee preparations contain substances which while
left in the vacuum cleaner for extended periods could cause damage. Many air fresheners,
household deodorants, sprays and polishes contain highly inammable gas propellants,
because of this it is particularly important that these products are used strictly in accordance
with the relevant manufacturers instructions. It is essential that none of the above products
are sprayed directly into the vacuum cleaner or any of the lters, hose assembly or dust
chamber.
