SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and ground plug.
• The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

• Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
• Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.

- If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE SURE THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.

NEVER REMOVE GROUNDING PRONG FROM POWER PLUG.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacle that accepts the appliance's plug. Replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR POWER CORD.

Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

Servicing of double-insulated machines In a double-insulated machine, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated machine, nor should a means for grounding be added to the machine. Servicing a double-insulated machine requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated machine must be identical to the parts they replace.

Troubleshooting guide

⚠️DANGER

Device unintentionally starting / electric shock

Unintentional starting of the suction motor can cause injuries. Voltage on electrical components can lead to an electric shock.

Switch off the device and unplug the mains plug before performing any work on the device.

The motor (suction turbine) does not start running

No electrical voltage present

• Check the socket and the power supply fuse.
• Check the mains cable and the mains plug of the device.
• Check all parts for clogging.
• Check that all electric connections are seated correctly.

No vacuuming operation, airflow escapes from the suction hose.

Suction turbine rotating in the wrong direction

- Swap the phases on the plug.

Suction force slowly reduces

Filter, nozzle, suction hose or suction pipe clogged.

• Check the accessory for clogging.
• Clean the accessory if necessary.
• Clean the filter.
