SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Electricity and heat

• Before use please verify that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the rating plate of the appliance.
  Always remove the plug from the socket 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. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the after-sales service or a person with a similar qualification, in order to avoid any hazards.

• Use solely approved extension leads.
• Avoid stumbling over the extension lead or power cord.
  Make sure the air vents are not covered or blocked.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - During use

• Never use the appliance outdoors.
• Never use the appliance in a humid room.
• Make sure that your hands are dry before touching the appliance, power cord or plug.

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

• glowing or burning objects

• glass splinters or other sharp objects

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.

• Make sure that the suction and exhaust openings are open, and that the filter is 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. It 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.

• Do not pick up the appliance if it falls into water. Remove the plug from the wall socket immediately. Do not use the appliance any more.
• Never immerse the appliance, the power cord or the plug in water or other liquid. After washing the filters make sure they are thoroughly dry before returning them to the appliance.
