• Make sure that you always use an earthed wall socket to connect the appliance.
  Always remove the plug from the mains socket before moving the appliance and when the appliance is not in use.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket by pulling the plug, not the power cord.
• Check the appliance's power cord regularly to make sure it is not damaged. Do not use the appliance if the power cord is damaged. Have a damaged power cord replaced by a qualified repair service.

• The power cord has a yellow and a red mark. Pull out the power cord to the yellow mark. Never pull out the power cord beyond the red mark.
• Guide the power cord whilst it rewinds onto the reel, since otherwise the cord could become tangled or the plug could strike the back of the appliance. Take hold of the power cord near the mark, and allow it to gently slide through your fingers back into the appliance.
• Make sure that the dust bag does not become pinched between the cover and the motor unit. This could damage the appliance and/or the dust bag.

• Do not use the appliance to suck up the following objects:

• glowing or burning objects
  glass splinters or other sharp objects
  residues of plaster, cement, stone, soot, and similar
  liquids, or moist dirt.

These objects could cause serious damage to the appliance and the filter system, and make it unsafe to use.

• Do not use the vacuum cleaner on wet rugs and carpets.
• Never insert objects in the air-exhaust vents.
• Make sure that the suction and exhaust openings are open, and that the filters are not blocked. Blockages will cause the appliance to overheat. Switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately! Once you have remedied the problem, wait 20 to 30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down completely. The vacuum cleaner will then be ready for use again.
• Keep the nozzle and the tubes away from the body while the vacuum cleaner is running. This could cause serious injury, for example to the eyes or ears.
