Unplug from electrical socket when not in use, before cleaning, maintaining or servicing the appliance, and if your appliance has an accessory tool with a moving brush, before connecting or disconnecting the tool.

If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Do not run appliance over cable. Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Do not use with damaged cable or plug. Do not pull or carry by cable, use cable as a handle, close door

damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water; do not attempt to operate it and have it repaired at an authorized service center.

Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of

dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible
