Before You Begin
When using your vacuum cleaner, basic
precautions should always be observed, including
the following;
1. This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
2. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
3. To prevent electrical shock, do not immerse
the appliance, battery or power plug into
water or other liquids.
4. To prevent electrical shock, do not use the
vacuum cleaner outdoors or on wet surfaces.
5. Always check the power cord before use, the
power cord and the plug should be in a good
condition and must not be damaged. If the
power supply cord is damaged or defective,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
6. The appliance and charging base are
intended for domestic indoor use only.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on the power cord.
To unplug, grasp the plug, not the power
cord. Use only Australian and New Zealand
electrical safety approved extension cords.
8. Do not pull or carry the appliance by the
power cable, use the power cable as a handle
or pull the power cable around sharp edges
or corners. Avoid running the appliance over
the power cable.
9. Do not handle or operate the appliance
with wet hands and follow electrical safety
precautions at all times.
10. Extreme caution should be exercised when
using the appliance on stairs.
11. Do not attempt to change the attachments
while the appliance is switched on. Use only
manufacturer’s recommended accessories.
12. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner too close
to heaters, radiators and other hot surfaces.
13. Do not use the appliance to pick up
flammable items or combustible liquids (i.e.
gasoline, hot ashes, cigarettes, matches,
explosive materials or anything burning) or
use in areas where such substances and
items may be present.
14. Do not use the appliance to pick up toxic
materials (i.e. chlorine bleach, ammonia).
15. Never operate or use the appliance without
the filters in place.
16. Before vacuuming, remove any large or sharp
objects from the floor or cleaning surface in
order to prevent damage to the filter.
17. If the air inlet or floor head is blocked, switch
off the cleaner straight away. First, clear the
blocked object before attempting to start the
vacuum cleaner again.
IMPORTANT! Always switch off the cleaner and remove the power plug from the
electricity power supply before cleaning your appliance, when not in use or attempting
any maintenance task. The cleaner must only be connected to an AC power supply at
the voltage shown on the rating label. This cleaner should only be used for its intended
purpose as described in this instruction manual. Never operate the vacuum cleaner
without filters.
