Safety Instructions

Connecting the appliance safely

Since the appliance is operated with electrical current, there is a danger of electric shock. Therefore:

• Only connect and start up the vacuum cleaner according to the details on the name plate (underside of the appliance).
• Check the appliance and power cable for possible damage before use. Never operate a defective appliance or an appliance with a defective power cable.
• Never try to repair the appliance or its power cable yourself. To prevent hazards, repairs to the appliance and the power cable may only be made by our customer service. Give a defective appliance to a dealer or make contact with SEVERIN customer service.
• Do not immerse appliance in water or other liquids or treat it with liquids. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in rooms with high humidity. Do not handle the plug with wet hands.
• Make sure that the power cable is not kinked, crushed or run over and that it does not come into contact with sources of heat, humidity and sharp edges. Make sure that the power cable does not become a stumbling hazard.
• Do not pull or transport the appliance using the power cable. When unplugging the plug from the outlet, always pull directly on the plug.
• If possible, do not use an extension cable. If this is unavoidable, only use GS-tested, simple extension cables (no multi-outlet adapters) that are designed for the appliance's power consumption.
• Before cleaning or maintaining the appliance, as well as before changing accessories, switch off the appliance and unplug the plug from the outlet.

Problem Solution
The appliance hardly picks up any dust and/or the suction power drops	The dust bag needs to be replaced ▷page 15, "Changing the dust bag".It is recommended to service the filters at this occasion as well ▷page 15, "Cleaning or replacing the filter".
	Attached nozzle is unsuitable for the floor to be cleaned.Change the nozzle, ▷page 14, "Assembly and changing of accessories".
	With the switchable floor nozzle attached, the switch is not in a position appropriate to the type of floor.Adjust the position of the floor nozzle switch, ▷page 14, "Assembly and changing of accessories".
	Suction power setting is possibly not appropriate to the type of floor.Adjust suction power, ▷page 14, "Adjusting the suction power".
The cover can not be closed	This is a safety feature that should prevent the appliance from being operated without a dust bag inserted.Be sure to have the correct bag type inserted properly ▷page 15, "Changing the dust bag".
	The dust bag is projecting and prevents the cover from closing.Be sure to have the dust bag inserted fully ▷page 15, "Changing the dust bag".
