2.3 Vacuum cleaning

WARNING:
Danger of injury! A damaged appliance must
never be used. Check the cylinder vacuum
cleaner and the power cord before each use.
WARNING:
Danger of injury! Especially when vacuum-
cleaning stairs make sure that you are
always higher up than the appliance.
ATTENTION:
Only use the cylinder vacuum cleaner with
all filters intact, in dry condition and correctly
placed. Make sure that the openings of the
vacuum cleaner are not clogged. Otherwise
the vacuum cleaner might be damaged.
ATTENTION:
Our (mini) turbo brush can only be used
to vacuum surfaces that are not sensitive.
Do not clean any floors or objects with the
(mini) turbo brush that you would not clean
without a second thought with a conventional
brush. Therefore, do not clean sensitive or
polished floor surfaces with the (mini) turbo
brush. Nor should you clean furniture,
sensitive carpets, upholstery, covers, or any
material with a sensitive texture with the
(mini) turbo brush. Otherwise
damage might occur. If in doubt, refrain from
using the (mini) turbo brush. In every
instance observe the instructions for care
and cleaning of the respective manufacturer.
