BEFORE FIRST USE
Recommendations for use
• Your vacuum cleaner is an electrical appliance: it should be used in normal operating conditions.
• Check that your vacuum cleaner voltage corresponds to that of your domestic power supply.
• Disconnect the appliance by unplugging without pulling the cord:
- immediately after each use,
- before every change of accessories,
- before every clean-up or maintenance procedure, and before changing the lter.
Important : the AC outlet must be protected by a fuse of at least 16Amps rating. If the circuit breaker is triggered
while the appliance is in operation, this may be due to the fact that other appliances with high connected power
are connected at the same time to the same electrical circuit. This can be avoided by setting the appliance to a
low power before turning on and then adjusting to a higher power.
• Unwind the power cord completely before each use.
• Do not jam it and do not allow it to rub against sharp edges.
• If you are using an electrical extension, check that it works properly and that it is suited to the power of your
vacuum cleaner.
• Some vacuum cleaners are tted with a safety device which prevents the motor from overheating. In certain
cases (when used on chairs, sofas, etc.) the safety device may be tripped and the appliance may make an
unusual noise that is not serious.
• Check that all the lters are in place.
• Use only original Rowenta/Tefal/Moulinex accessories.
• If you have any diculties in nding accessories or lters for this vacuum cleaner, contact the Rowenta/Tefal/
Moulinex Customer Service.
• If your vacuum cleaner has a bag :
Do not use the vacuum cleaner without a bag or without a ltration system in place (lter casket*, lter*, foam*, microlter).
Only use original Rowenta/Tefal/Moulinex accessories and lters.
• If your vacuum cleaner is bagless :
Do not operate the vacuum cleaner without the ltration system tted (lter casket*, foam*, microlter* and lter*).
Do not place the foam and microlter in the appliance unless they are completely dry.
Use only original Rowenta/Tefal/Moulinex accessories.
