NOT complying with the instructions contained in the manual is considered
inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible
damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
3. This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame,
ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence of
flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric conditions
when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items containing these
substances should never be placed in the appliance, and never be used to clean the
appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
4. This appliance must NOT be used for vacuuming burning, smoking, toxic, volatile or
flammable substances. The appliance must NOT be used to clear sewers. An
explosion may occur if the machine suctions sewer gases. Sewer gases inhalation
may lead to unconsciousness and death.
5. It is NOT recommended to use the appliance for cleaning open stoves or other devices
that contains oil or grease, soot, clay dust, plaster or other similar materials that are
resistant to water action.
6. DO NOT vacuum mud, gypsum material, wall powder, blade, kindling, clumps of hair,
large pieces of paper and other items such as sharp metal objects as that may make
the absorbing inlet, tube, hose and filter get blocked and the motor get burned. An
indication of blockage may manifest as an abnormal sound or poor suction. If these
small particles were absorbed, please disconnect the power cord and remove them
from the dust bag or filter immediately.
7. The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out of
the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources of
danger.
8. The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the
indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to persons,
animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered responsible.
9. Place and use the appliance on a horizontal, stable and heat-resistant surface.
10. Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. In case you are not
sure, contact a qualified person. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock
hazard.

11. Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency)
corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance, and
that the wall socket is properly grounded.
12. DO NOT power the appliance using multiple sockets. If possible, avoid the use of
