When un- plugging the mains adapter from the socket, always pull directly on the plug. Make sure that the cable of the mains adapter is not kinked, pinched or run over and that it does not come in contact with sources of heat, humidity and sharp edges. Make sure that the cable of the mains adapter does not become a trip hazard. Before cleaning or servicing the appliance and before changing acces- sories, switch off the appliance and make sure that the mains adapter is not connected.23 safETy insTrucTions Safety when handling rechargeable batteries If rechargeable batteries are handled improperly, there is a risk of injury and explosion. Never replace the rechargeable battery with other rechargeable batteries or other non-rechargeable batteries. Only use identical rechargeable batteries. Never short-circuit rechargeable batteries, i.e. never touch both poles at the same time, especially not with objects that conduct electricity. Store recharge- able batteries so that they cannot be short-circuited by other rechargeable batteries or metal objects during storage. To charge the rechargeable battery, only use the mains adapter included in the delivery. Never charge the rechargeable battery with another mains adapter. Only use the mains adapter included in the delivery to charge the rechargeable battery of this appliance. At the end of its life span, remove the rechargeable battery as described.

On the other hand, these objects can get caught in the brush roller and thereby damage the appli- ance. LED lighting LEDs are installed in the oor nozzle. These illuminate the work area in front of the oor nozzle. Do not look into the LEDs during operation. It is not possible to exchange the LEDs. Intended use The appliance must only be used domestically. The appliance may only be used for cleaning on level, normally-soiled surfac- es, short-pile carpets or upholstery that can withstand exposure to the rotating brush without sustaining damage.
