health
hazards
Read this operating manual completely be-
fore using the appliance.
Keep the operating manual for reference. If
you pass the appliance on to someone else.
give them the operating manual as well.
Non-compliance with these instructions
can lead to serious injuries or damage to
the appliance.
We assume no liability for damage that occurs
as a result of non-compliance with this operat-
ing manual.
For reasons of safety we strongly recom-
mend that even children aged from 8 years
and above do not operate the device as they
definitely cannot understand all specific dan-
gers arising from it. Keep the appliance out of
reach of people of these groups.
Packing material must not be used to play
with. There is danger of suffocation.
Wrong use can cause fluid to leak from the
batteries. This can cause skin irritations.
Avoid any contact with the fluid. If fluid gets
onto your skin, wash it away with lots of water.
If the fluid comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them with water for
10 minutes and consult a doctor.
If it becomes necessary to replace the bat-
teries, contact a specialist dealer or Dirt Devil
Customer Services. Never exchange the bat-
teries yourself, and by no means replace the
batteries with batteries of a different type. We
assume no liability for any damage resulting
from improperly replaced batteries.
