Electrical safety and cord handling
• Correct voltage: Make sure your local outlet voltage and circuit frequency
correspond to the voltage indicated on the appliance rating label.
• Safe connection: Insert the plug firmly into a properly earthed mains socket.
Do not alter the plug.
• Protect from moisture: To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the
cord, plug or the appliance itself in water or other liquid. Ensure your hands
are dry before handling the plug or switching on the appliance. Do not use it
outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Protect the power cord. Do not kink or damage the power cord. Do not wrap
it around the appliance. Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cord.
Do not use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord or pull the cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum cleaner over the cord.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Disconnect after use: Always switch off the appliance first and then unplug
the cord from the outlet when you have finished vacuuming, before connecting
or changing accessories and before changing the dust bag or filters.
• Cord retraction: When unplugging, grip the plug, do not pull the cord. Press
the cord retraction pedal and hold the plug, guiding it back onto the cord reel
to prevent whipping and causing injury or damage.
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a plug and a power supply cord that
automatically retracts. If anything is damaged, both the plug and the cord
must be repaired by a qualified repairer or electrician.
• Unattended: Do not leave the vacuum cleaner unattended when plugged in.
• RCD: The installation of a residual current device (safety switch) is
recommended to provide additional safety protection when using electrical
appliances. It is advisable that a safety switch with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA be installed in the electrical circuit supplying the
appliance. See your electrician for professional advice.
