Important safeguards
1. Make sure that the filter is securely attached in its place before vacuuming.
Forgetting the filter will allow dust to enter the motor section and could damage
the vacuum cleaner.
2. Do not block the flow of air. Blocking suction or allowing the dust to clog the
hose will decrease the efficiency of the motor.
3. Never vacuum burning objects, volatile material or any matter that might damage
the hose or filter. Also avoid vacuuming wet objects.
4. Keep the vacuum cleaner away from stoves and other heat-emitting appliances.
Heat can deform and discolour the plastic parts of the unit.
5. Keep the vacuum cleaner free of insecticides. Do not wipe it with benzine,
thinner, petrol or other oils which might cause discolouration or cracking. To
clean the body and hose, dampen a cloth with a mild detergent and wipe clean.
6. Be sure not to push the clamp button while carrying the vacuum cleaner.
Reminder
1. Pull out the plug from the power point after use. Grasp the plug—not the cord—
when pulling out the plug. Also do not extend the cord from the unit beyond
the red marker line.
2. If the dust indicator still points to red after having emptied the dust collector
this probably indicates that the hose is clogged. Dust can be easily removed
from the hose by attaching it to the exhaust port (See USING THE BLOWER),
or by pushing through a thin rubber hose (used for gas or water) after
disconnecting the angle pipe. (VB 30, VB 31).
3. Long and continuous use (especially in the summer) causes the exhaust air
and the body of the vacuum cleaner to become warm. This, however, does not
denote a malfunction.
