IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE ! When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug; one blade is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
SPECIAL SEBO PRODUCT FEATURES Your SEBO FELIX vacuum is among the most technically advanced vacuum cleaners in the world. Some of its unique features are: • S-Class Filtration. Certified by leading Allergy foundations in Europe, the FELIX vacuum provides the user with S-Class filtration of 99.9% of particles to 0.3 microns. This is accomplished by the SEBO three-step filtration system. First, the three-layer full-size filter bag (A) collects the vast majority of the debris.
