3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using this appliance for the first time, read the following instructions carefully and keep them for future reference. Make sure that the mains voltage in your home corresponds to that indicated on the appliance. In the event of incompatibility between the mains socket and the appliance plug, replace the socket with a suitable one, using a qualified professional. The electrical safety of the appliance is only guaranteed if it is connected to an efficient earth installation, as foreseen in applicable electrical safety regulations. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional. The use of adaptors, multiple sockets and or extension cables is not recommended. Where it is not possible to avoid their use, only adaptors or

extensions that comply with applicable safety regulations should be used, and ensuring that the indicated voltage limit is not exceeded. After removing the packaging, check that the appliance is in perfect condition, if in doubt, contact the nearest Technical Support Service. Packaging elements (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.), should not be left within the reach of children because they can be dangerous. The appliance is for domestic use only. Any other use is considered unsuitable or dangerous. The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any damages that may arise from improper or inadequate use, or for repairs conducted by nonqualified personnel. Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet. Keep the appliance separate from water or other liquids, to avoid electric shock; do not connect the appliance to the mains if it is on a damp surface. Place the appliance on a dry, firm and stable surface. Do not allow children or the disabled to handle the appliance unsupervised. This appliance should not be used by physically, sensorially or mentally handicapped people or people without experience or knowledge of it (including children), unless they are supervised or instructed in the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be watched to ensure they do not play with the appliance. For greater protection, we recommend installing a residual current device (RCD) with an operational residual current not exceeding 30 mA. Ask your installer for advice. Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is turned on because it can be dangerous. When removing the plug never pull on the cable. Unplug the appliance before cleaning or maintenance. In the event of fault or malfunction

where the appliance is not to be used, turn off the appliance and do not attempt to repair. If a repair is required, contact a Technical Assistance Service authorised by the manufacturer and request the use of original spare parts. If the cable for this appliance is damaged, contact an authorised Technical Assistance Service for it to be replaced. Do not leave the appliance exposed to the elements (rain, sun, ice, etc.).

Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the handles. Do not let the cable come into contact with the hot parts of the appliance. Do not vacuum water or any other liquid. Make sure that the on/off switches of the vacuum cleaner and the hand-held vacuum are in the off position before charging. It is advisable to change the dust container filter every three to six months, depending on use, to ensure maximum performance of the appliance. Never use the vacuum cleaner without the container filter. After cleaning the container filter, make sure that it is completely dry before reinstalling it in the vacuum cleaner. Do not put the filter in the washing machine or dry it with a hairdryer. The filter must only be left to dry naturally.

AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. To remind you that you must collaborate with a selective collection scheme, the symbol shown appears on the product warning you not to dispose of it in traditional refuse containers. For further information, contact your local authority or the shop where you bought the product.
