of hair which may block the absorbing inlet, tube or hose and clog the filtration system.
If this happens, please switch off the appliance, unplug the appliance and remove the
blockage.
6. 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.

that contains oil or grease, soot, clay dust, plaster or other similar materials that are
resistant to water action.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Place and use the appliance on a horizontal, stable and heat-resistant surface. The
appliance shall NOT be placed on a surface or in the vicinity of objects which can be
damaged by heat, such as carpets or plastics.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. DO NOT power the appliance using multiple sockets. If possible, 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.
14. The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote
control appliances which are not specified in this manual.
15. Any accessories NOT recommended by the manufacturer may cause injuries to
persons. Always turn off this appliance before connecting or disconnecting either hose
or accessories.
16. If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:
a. Clean the appliance with water using a non-abrasive sponge.
b. Use the appliance only if the filter or dust bag is installed! This is especially so if the
surroundings to be vacuumed is extremely dusty. Failure to do so will only send the
dust back out after being suctioned. DO NOT use other filters except the ones (fire
prevention filter) attached to the appliance by the manufacturer.
c. Use the appliance only if the turbine is in a good working condition and is tightly
secured by the Barrel clips to the Dust / Water container before turning on this
appliance. Failure to do this could cause a risk of injury to persons and would defeat
the utility of the appliance.
d. Be extra careful when vacuum cleaning on stairs as the machine might topple.
e. Switch off the appliance and unplug the socket from the electric mains when not in
use and before storing, filling, emptying, cleaning or performing any maintenance
operation.
Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its proper
functioning.
DO NOT:
cover the appliance during functioning;
obstruct totally nor partially the air outlet with anything that may reduce the suction,
such as dust, lint, hair, etc.;
insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the appliance;
use the appliance near curtains or textiles;
carry the machine with your hand while using the machine for cleaning operations;
use the appliance for more than 20 minutes without turning it off for at least 10
minutes for a total usage of 2 hours in a single day – failure to heed this warning may
result in motor failure;

leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.
17. Plug and unplug the power cable with dry hands and hold it firmly. Always unplug the
power cable to avoid overheating and avoid stretching it. DO NOT pull it, tug it or use it
to drag the appliance to which is connected. Before unplugging the appliance, turn the
‘ON/OFF’ dial on the appliance to ‘OFF’.
18. Hold the plug when rewinding the power cable. DO NOT allow the plug and the cable to
whip around when rewinding. DO NOT use the cable as a handle, pull or carry the
appliance by the cable, pull the cable around sharp edges, abrasive surfaces or
corners, run the appliance over the cable or close a door on the cable. Keep the cable
away from heated surfaces, abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where it can be
damaged easily.
19. Avoid bending, stamping and dragging the hose. DO NOT use the vacuum cleaner if
the hose is damaged.
20. During operation, DO NOT touch the appliance with wet body parts, and it is
recommended to have between you and the standing surface, an isolating element (for
example, wearing shoes with rubber soles). DO NOT use the appliance to clean up
liquids outdoors, upon an earth floor. If it should be necessary to step on a wet or damp
floor to pick up water, do not touch the metallic parts of ANY electric device, lamp or
switch while performing this operation.
21. In the event a filter bag is unavailable, the appliance can still be used for its intended
purpose by suctioning the dust through water. Make sure the Dust / Water container is
filled with a small amount of water, and change the water frequently. DO NOT operate
the appliance for too long without changing the water. When you notice that the water is
getting too full of dust and fuzz, throw it away and replace it with clean water. Always
empty the water container after each use.
22. The water level must never be above the maximum level. Excess water in the water
container will cause shaking and vibration. If this occurs, the vibrations are your
warning that the water container is overfilled.
23. DO NOT soak the appliance in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let any
liquid flow into the internal casing of the appliance to prevent electric shock. In case of
accidental fall in water, DO NOT try to take it out, but first of all unplug immediately the
power cable from the socket.
24. Always remember to unplug the power cable of the appliance if it is NOT used for a
long period, before storing, cleaning or performing any maintenance operation
25. Avoid carrying out operations which are NOT specified in this manual (such as
disassembling and/or altering).
