appliances:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
The Appliance
2. This appliance must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed; any use
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. 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.
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 Motor 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.
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 Air Inlet, Tube/s, Hose and Filter/s 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 cable and remove them
from the Dust Cup or Air Outlet Filter immediately.
7. Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. DO NOT operate the
appliance when the Motor or power cable is damaged. They must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent, or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock
hazard.
8. 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. This appliance is fitted with an earth wire for
extra safety.
9. Avoid the use of adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely necessary,
use only materials in compliance with the current safety regulations and according to
the electrical parameters of the adapters.

10. The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote
control appliances which are not specified in this manual.
11. Only use original components & accessories provided by the manufacturer. Any non-
original component or accessory NOT recommended by the manufacturer (including,
but not limited to the Motor, Dust Cup, Wheels, Filters, Extension tubes, Hose, Floor
Brush, Crevice Nozzle, Bristle Brush, etc.) made by other manufacturers or by the
same manufacturer but for other models of the same capacity or otherwise may cause
injuries to persons or damage to the appliance.
12. 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.
Location
13. 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.
14. Place and use the appliance on a horizontal and stable surface. Damage may occur if
the appliance is placed on an incline or decline. Be extra careful when vacuum
cleaning on stairs as the appliance might topple.
15. Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where it
can be damaged easily. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable. Arrange the cable
away from high traffic areas, and where it will NOT be tripped over. DO NOT pull or
carry the appliance by the cable, run the appliance over the cable or close a door on
the cable.
