Dear Customer,
Please read and comply with these origi-
nal instructions prior to the initial opera-
tion of your appliance and store them for
later use or subsequent owners.
In accordance with the descriptions and the safety infor-
mation in these operating instructions the appliance is
intended for use as a multi-purpose vacuum cleaner.
This appliance has been designed for use in private
households and is not intended for commercial use.
– Protect the unit from rain. Do not store outside.
– This device may not be used to suck in ash and
soot.
Use the multi-purpose vacuum cleaner only with:
– Original filter bag.
– Original spare parts, accessories and special ac-
cessories.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages
that may occur on account of improper use or wrong op-
erations.
The packaging material can be recycled. Please
do not place the packaging into the ordinary re-
fuse for disposal, but arrange for the proper re-
cycling.
Old appliances contain valuable materials that
can be recycled. Please arrange for the proper
recycling of old appliances. Please dispose your
old appliances using appropriate collection sys-
tems.
Filters and filter bags are made from environment-
friendly materials.
They can therefore be disposed off through the normal
household garbage provided you have not sucked in
