This vacuum cleaner is meant for use in pri-
vate households and not for commercial pur-
poses.
Use the vacuum cleaner only with:
–
Original filter bags.
–
Original spare parts, accessories and
special accessories.
The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for:
–
Sucking moist or fluid substances, mildly
inflammable or explosive materials and
gases.
–
Sucking substances that are harmful for
health, have sharp edges, are hot or
burning.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any
damages that may occur on account of im-
proper use or wrong operations.
Safe small living creatures (for e.g. flies, spi-
ders, etc.), please don’t suck in.
The packaging material can be recy-
cled. Please do not place the packag-
ing into the ordinary refuse for disposal, but
arrange for the proper recycling.
Old appliances contain valuable ma-
terials that can be recycled. Please
arrange for the proper recycling of old
appliances. Please dispose your old appli-
ances using appropriate collection systems.
Filters and filter bags are made from envi-
ronment-friendly materials.
They can therefore be disposed off through
the normal household garbage provided you
have not sucked in substances that are not
permitted to be thrown into household gar-
bage.
Always commission and use the appli-
ance according to the type plate.
Check the mains cable and the appli-
ance to see that it functions properly. If
they are not in a perfect state then the
appliance must not be used.
Never vacuum clean without the filter
bag.
This can cause damage to the appliance.
Only allow children to use the appliance
under supervision.
Avoid vacuum cleaning using nozzle or
suction tubes close to the head. There is
risk of injury!
Do not use the power cord to carry/
transport the machine.
Always pull out the power cord fully dur-
ing operation.
To separate the machine from the mains,
pull the plug and not the power cord.
Do not scrape the power cord across
sharp edges and ensure that it does not
get pressed.
First pull out the plug from the mains before
carrying out any tasks on the machine.
To avoid risks, all repairs and replace-
ment of spare parts in the machine may
only be carried out by the authorised
customer service personnel.
Protect the appliance against external
weather, humidity and heat sources.
Turn off the appliance while you do not
vacuum.
Do not use worn out appliance; first put it
