Cleaning and user maintenance may not be performed by children without supervision. – Keep the appliance, the charger, the mains adapter and connection cable out of reach of children under 8 years of age. – Keep packaging material out of the reach of children and dispose of it properly. Otherwise, there is a risk of suffocation. Connect the appliance safely Since the appliance is operated with electrical current, there is a danger of electric shock. Therefore, pay special attention to the following: – Check the appliance, charger and mains adapter for possible dam- age before use. Never operate a defective appliance, a defective charger or an appliance with a defective mains adapter. – Only connect the mains adapter to outlets that correspond to the de- tails on the type plate of the mains adapter. – Never attempt to repair the appliance, charger or mains adapter yourself. To avoid risks, repairs to the appliance, charger and the mains adapter must only be effected by our customer service depart- ment. Give a defective appliance to an authorised dealer or contact SEVERIN customer service department. – Do not handle the appliance, charger and mains adapter with wet hands. When unplugging the mains adapter from the outlet, always pull directly on the plug.13 Safety guidelines – Do not immerse the appliance, charger or mains adapter in water or other liquids, or treat with liquids. Keep appliance, charger and mains adapter away from rain and wet conditions. Do not operate the appliance, charger and mains adapter outdoors or in rooms with high humidity. – Make sure that the mains adapter 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 mains adapter does not be- come a stumbling hazard. – Before cleaning or maintaining the appliance, as well as before changing accessories, switch off the appliance and unplug the mains adapter from the outlet. Safety when handling rechargeable batteries A rechargeable battery is installed permanently in the appliance. With improper handling of rechargeable batteries, there is a danger of injury and explosion. – Should it be necessary to replace the rechargeable battery, contact a dealer or SEVERIN customer service. Never replace the recharge- able battery yourself. Never replace with other rechargeable batter- ies or other batteries. – Never short-circuit rechargeable batteries, i.e. never touch both poles at the same time, especially not with objects that conduct elec- tricity. Store rechargeable batteries so that they cannot be short-cir- cuited by other rechargeable batteries or metal objects during stor- age. – Only use the mains adapter and charger provided to charge the re- chargeable battery. Never charge the rechargeable battery with an- other mains adapter or charger. Only use the mains adapter and charger provided to charge the rechargeable battery for this appli- ance.14 Safety guidelines – At the end of its life span, remove the rechargeable battery as de- scribed. Then take the rechargeable battery to an appropriate collec- tion point nearby, thus ensuring safe and environmentally-appropri- ate disposal. Never throw rechargeable batteries away in household garbage! – Before removing the rechargeable battery, make sure that the mains adapter is unplugged from the outlet. – Never take rechargeable batteries apart, expose them to high tem- peratures or throw them onto fires. – In case of improper handling, liquid can escape from the rechargea- ble battery. Do not use the rechargeable battery if it is damaged or if liquid escapes from it. - If liquid has escaped, avoid contact with the liquid. - If contact is made with the liquid, rinse immediately with a lot of water. In case of after effects (irrespective of type), consult a doc- tor. Rotating brush roller The appliance contains a driven brush roller. This can cause injuries. Therefore, heed the following: – Before cleaning or maintaining the appliance, make sure that the ap- pliance is switched off and is not on charge. – Make sure that at no time can body parts get underneath the brush- es. – Do not vacuum clean near cables, wires and long fringes. On the one hand, there is a danger that the cable's insulation will be damaged. On the other hand, these objects can get tangled in the brush roller and damage the appliance.15 Safety guidelines Intended use The appliance must only be used in households. The appliance must only be used for cleaning on level, normally-soiled, hard floors or short-pile carpets that can withstand the loads applied by the rotating brush roller without suffering damage. Depending upon the nozzle accessory fitted, separate hand-held vacu- um cleaner can also be used to clean non-sensitive furniture. Any other use is deemed improper and is forbidden. In order to prevent injuries, fires and damage, the appliance must not be used to clean: – people, animals and plants. Always keep the appliance away from body parts, hair and clothing. – glowing or burning particles (such as ash, coals, charcoal, ciga- rettes, matches). – explosive or flammable materials or toner. – water and other liquids, e.g. wet carpet cleaning agents. – pointed objects such as glass splinters, nails – quantities of dirt that exceed normal quantities of dirt in their quantity or particle size, e.g. building waste.
