Keep batteries out of the reach
of children.
A swallowed battery can cause injury
and even death. Even flat batteries
can still be dangerous. If you suspect
a child has swallowed a battery, seek
medical advice immediately*. Exam-
ine devices and make sure the bat-
tery compartment is correctly se-
cured, e.g. that the screw or other
mechanical fastener is tightened. Do
not use if compartment is not secure.

Cleaning and care
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply be-
fore cleaning it. Switch off at the wall
socket and unplug it.
Vacuum cleaner and accessories
The vacuum cleaner and plastic ac-
cessories can be cleaned using a
standard domestic cleaning agent suit-
able for plastic.
Follow the special cleaning instruc-
tions for the dust container and filter
frame in "Maintenance" and for the
fine dust filter, the pre-filter and the
fine dust container in "Fault resolu-
tion".
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents, all-
purpose cleaners or oil-based condi-
tioning agents!
Do not let the vacuum cleaner
get wet! If moisture gets into the ap-
pliance, there is a risk of electric
shock.
