• This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or have been given instructions beforehand concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. Keep the appliance and its cord away from children.

• Do not use the appliance if: the cord is damaged. In order to avoid all danger, the cord winding system and the cord itself of your vacuum cleaner must necessarily be replaced by a Tefal Authorized Service Centre only. 1 • Conditions of use

our vacuum cleaner is an electrical appliance: it must

nly be used under normal operating conditions. Use and store the appliance out of the reach of children. Never

eave the appliance unattended when it is switched on. Keep the nozzles and tube ends well away from eyes and

ars. Do not vacuum damp surfaces, where there is water or

iquids whatever their nature, hot substances, ultrafine substances (plaster, cement, ashes...), large sharp debris

glass), harmful products (solvents, paint strippers...), chemical products (acids, cleaning agents...), inflammable and explosive products (petrol or alcohol based). Never immerse the appliance in water, splash water onto it or store it outdoors. Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped and shows visible signs of damage or signs of not functioning properly. In this case, do not open the appliance but send it to your nearest Approved Service Centre or contact Tefal Customer Services (you can find their contact details on the last page). When vacuuming on stairs, the appliance must always be at a level lower than that of the person using it and in the vertical position if the steps are too narrow. When cleaning net curtains or fragile surfaces, ensure that the electronic or mechanical power control is set to minimum. 2 • Electrical power supply Make sure that the operating voltage (voltage) of your vacuum cleaner is the same as your supply voltage. Unplug the appliance by removing the power plug, without pulling on the power cord: - immediately after use, - before each time you change the accessories, - before cleaning, maintaining or changing the filter. Important: the AC outlet must be protected by a fuse of at least 16 Amps rating. If the circuit breaker trips when the appliance is switched on, this may be due to the fact that other appliances with high cumulative power requirements are connected to the same electrical circuit. You can avoid tripping the circuit breaker by setting the appliance on low power before switching on and then increasing the power later. 3 • Repairs Repairs should only be carried out by specialists using original replacement parts. Repairing an appliance oneself can be dangerous for the user, and will invalidate the guarantee. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The air we breathe contains particles that may be allergens:

ite larvae and droppings, mould, pollen, smoke and animal residues (hair, skin, saliva, urine). The smallest particles

enetrate deep into the respiratory system where they can cause inflammation and lung impairment.(H)EPA filters (High

fficiency Particulate Air) are used to filter out the smallest particles. With the (H)EPA filter, the air released back into the room is healthier than the air that is vacuumed. 1 • Changing the bag The change bag light tells you that the bag is full or saturated.
