Safety points
• THOMAS BRAVO is intended for household use.
• The appliance must not be put into operation if:
– the mains cable is damaged
– the appliance shows clear signs of damage
– the appliance has fallen or been dropped.
• The voltage data on the appliance’s rating plate must
conform to the power supply.
• Do not allow nozzles and tubes (when the appliance
is switched on) to come within the proximity of the
head – danger for eyes and ears, for example.
• Do not vacuum noxious substances or corrosive or
solvent liquids.
•
Never operate the appliance in rooms where inflammable
materials are stored or where gases have formed.
• Store the appliance and its attachments in a dry,
clean and enclosed space.
• Materials such as petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil can form explosive gases or mixtures by being
subjected to centrifugal air from the appliance.
• Never vacuum hot ash or glowing objects.
• Check before every use to be sure that you have
correctly fitted the filters required for the specific
application.
• Do not vacuum toner dust! Toners such as those used
in printers and copiers, can be electric conductors!
Furthermore, it is possible that the appliance’s filter
system will not completely filter out toner dust, and in
this way it can enter the air supply of the room.
• Extreme care is required when vacuuming stair carpets
with your appliance. Ensure that the vacuum cleaner
stands firmly on the step and take care that the flexible
hose is not stretched beyond its actual length. When
using the vacuum cleaner on stairs, always ensure that
you hold the appliance steady with one hand.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is
switched on.
• Always pull out the plug
– if the appliance malfunctions during operation
– before cleaning and maintenance
– after use
– when changing the filter.
•
This appliance can be used by children
who are over 8 and by those with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lacking experience and/
or knowledge given that they have been
supervised or instructed in the safe use
of the appliance and have understood
the resulting dangers. Children must
not play with the appliance. Cleaning
and user maintenance must not be
undertaken by children who are not
subject to supervision.
