WHAT DO I DO IF MY APPLIANCE DOESN'T WORK?
IMPORTANT As soon as your vacuum cleaner
stops performing efficiently, and before ma-
king any checks, stop it by placing the On/Off
switch in the Off position.
Do not throw the battery pack out with hou-
sehold refuse, but drop it off at the nearest
Rowenta Authorised Service Centre or at a
disposal site specifically designed for that
purpose.
Warning
Do not replace a block of rechargeable
batteries with non-rechargeable batteries. To
change the batteries, please contact an Appro-
ved Services Centre.
The batteries are designed for indoor use
only. Never immerse them in water. The bat-
teries must be handled with care. Do not put
batteries in your mouth. Do not let batteries
touch other metal objects (rings, nails, screws,
etc). You must take care not to create short
circuits in the batteries by inserting metal
objects at their ends. If a short circuit occurs,
the battery temperature may rise dangerously
and can cause serious burns or even catch
fire. If the batteries leak, do not rub your eyes
or any mucous membranes. Wash your hands
and rinse your eyes with clean water. If the
discomfort persists, consult your doctor.
Environment protection first!
