Connecting the appliance safely
Since the appliance is operated with electrical current, there is a danger
of electric shock. Therefore:
– Only connect and start up the vacuum cleaner according to the de-
tails on the name plate (underside of the appliance).
– Check the appliance and power cable for possible damage before
use. Never operate a defective appliance or an appliance with a de-
fective power cable.
– Never try to repair the appliance or its power cable yourself. To pre-
vent hazards, repairs to the appliance and the power cable may only
be made by our customer service. Give a defective appliance to a
dealer or make contact with SEVERIN customer service.
– Do not immerse appliance in water or other liquids or treat it with liq-
uids. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in rooms with high hu-
midity. Do not handle the plug with wet hands.
– Make sure that the power cable is not kinked, crushed or run over
and that it does not come into contact with sources of heat, humidity
and sharp edges. Make sure that the power cable does not become
a stumbling hazard.
– Do not pull or transport the appliance using the power cable. When
unplugging the plug from the outlet, always pull directly on the plug.
– If possible, do not use an extension cable. If this is unavoidable, only
use GS-tested, simple extension cables (no multi-outlet adapters)
that are designed for the appliance's power consumption.
– Before cleaning or maintaining the appliance, as well as before
changing accessories, switch off the appliance and unplug the plug
from the outlet.
