List of labels - fig. 1
A - Identification plate:
Model code which includes the class (L, M, H),
technical data, serial number, CE marking, year
of manufacture
B - Dust container
C - Latches
D - Handle
E - Inlet
F - Inlet plug (for M - H vacuum cleaner classes only)
G - Warning label (for L - M - H vacuum cleaner
classes only)
H - Outlet
I - Attention plate
Draws the operator's attention to the fact that
the filter must be shaken only when the vacuum
cleaner is off (see par. "Shaking the primary filter"
as well).
L - Panel power plate
Indicates that the panel is powered by the voltage
indicated on the data plate.
N - Warning plate
Indicates that the machine can not be disposed of
with other domestic waste at the end of its cycle
of life (see "Vacuum cleaner disposal").
This vacuum cleaner creates a strong airflow which is
drawn in through the inlet "E" and blows out through
the outlet "H".
Before turning on the vacuum cleaner, fit the vacuum
hose into the inlet and then fit the required tool on to
the end part (refer to the manufacturer's accessory
catalogue or Service Centre).
The diameters of the authorized hoses are indicated in
the Technical data table.
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with an internal baffle
plate which subjects the vacuumed substances to a
circular centrifugal movement that makes them drop
into the container.
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a primary
filter which enables it to be used for the majority of
applications.
Different types of primary filter are available: standard
and L - M classes for dusts that are hazardous to
health.
Besides the primary filter, which retains the most
common types of dust, the vacuum cleaner can be
fitted with a secondary filter (absolute H) with a higher
filtering capacity for fine dusts and dusts that are
hazardous to health.
