• Do not allow nozzles and tubes (when the appliance

• Do not vacuum noxious substances or corrosive or
solvent liquids.
• Never operate the appliance in rooms where
inflammable materials are stored or where gases
have formed.

subjected to centrifugal air from the appliance.
• Never vacuum hot ash or glowing objects.
• Check before every use to be sure that you have
correctly fitted the filters required for the specific
application.
• Do not vacuum toner dust! Toners such as those
used in printers and copiers, can be electric
conductors! Furthermore, it is possible that the
appliance's filter system will not completely filter out
toner dust, and in this way it can enter the air
supply of the room.
• Acetone, acids and solvents can attack the materials
used in this appliance.
• Extreme care is required when vacuuming stair
carpets with your appliance. Ensure that the
vacuum cleaner stands firmly on the step and take
care that the flexible hose is not stretched beyond its
actual length. When using the vacuum cleaner on
stairs, always ensure that you hold the appliance
steady with one hand.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is
switched on and ensure that children do not play
around with the appliance.
• Always pull out the plug
– if the appliance malfunctions during operation
– before cleaning and maintenance
– after use
– when changing the filter.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling at the cable,
but only by removing the plug directly from the
socket.
• Ensure that the main cable is not exposed to either
heat or chemical substances, nor that it is pulled
across sharp edges or surfaces.
• Avoid using extension cables in wet rooms.
• Never repair damage to the appliance, to the
