WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
• Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before connecting the power cord to
an electrical outlet; your power source should correspond with the voltage rating plate
located on the underside of your cleaner. If you are not sure of your home's voltage
supply, consult a qualified electrician.
• A damaged vacuum cleaner can be dangerous; check the packaging, the vacuum
cleaner and the accessories for any sign of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
• Do not leave the vacuum plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and
before servicing or cleaning.
• Your model is a dry unit, do not use outdoors, on wet surfaces or to vacuum any sort
of liquid. Only dry surfaces should be vacuumed. Do not use this appliance to pick up
liquids as this could impair the electrical safety of the vacuum cleaner. This applies to
freshly shampooed carpets: wait until they are dry.
• Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary
when used by or near children.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attach-
ments.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
• If the power cord reel or the cable itself are damaged they should be replaced only by
an authorised after sale service. Never use the cleaner with a damaged cord or plug.
• If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdo-
ors or immersed in water bring the unit to a dealer or to an after sale centre.
• For any repair or for purchase of accessory parts contact only your private dealer or
an authorised technical centre. Do not attempt any repairs.
• Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as an handle, close a door on the cord,
or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the appliance over the cord.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Do not
handle the plug or the appliance itself with wet hands.
• If your appliance is equipped with a cord reel always hold the plug when rewinding
