Safety Information

2. Safety Information

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

When using the vacuum cleaner, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:

1.

Only use the vacuum cleaner indoors on dry surfaces.

2.

Turn off the vacuum cleaner controls before connecting or disconnecting from the mains supply.

3.

Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before connecting or disconnecting the vacuum hose and accessories.

4.

Close attention is necessary when used by or near children. Do not allow children to use as a toy.

5.

Use only as described in this manual.

Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

6.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water. Do not use the vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord or plug is damaged, return the vacuum cleaner to a Vax Authorised Service Agent or suitably qualified person for examination, repair or adjustment.

7.

Do not pull or carry 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.

8.

Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

9.

Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use with any openings blocked and do not restrict air flow. Keep all openings free of dust, lint, hair or anything that may reduce airflow.

10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

11. Do not pick up hot coals, cigarette butts, matches or any hot, smoking or burning objects.

12. Do not pick up flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, petrol, kerosene, etc) or use in the presence of explosive liquids or vapours.

13. Do not vacuum up harmful or toxic material

(chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc).

14. Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.

15. Do not use without the filters in place.

16. Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs.

17. Keep vacuuming area well lit.

18. Store the vacuum cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.

19. Turn off the on/off switch before unplugging the vacuum cleaner.

20. Use only CE-approved 13 amp extension cords. Non-approved extension cords may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.

WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet before assembling, opening or emptying the dirt container, or before connecting/disconnecting the attachments.

CAUTION: The vacuum cleaner is a very powerful unit. Before plugging the cord into the electrical outlet, make sure the switch is in the ‘off’ position.

Hold the vacuum cleaner firmly when starting and in use.

IMPORTANT: If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube is blocked, switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the blockage(s) before re-starting the vacuum cleaner.

IMPORTANT: Washing filters improves vacuum performance. Make sure all the filters are completely dry before inserting back into the vacuum cleaner.

This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use only and not for commercial or industrial use.

Motor Thermostat

IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If for any reason, the vacuum cleaner should over-heat, the thermostat will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet and turn the unit off. Remove the dirt container and empty. Clean the filters. Allow the cleaner to cool for approximately one (1) hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical outlet and switch back on.
