1 • Conditions of use
Your vacuum cleaner is an electrical appliance: it must
only be used under normal operating conditions. Use and
store the appliance out of the reach of children. Never
leave the appliance unattended when it is switched on.
Keep the nozzles and tube ends well away from eyes and
ears.
Do not vacuum damp surfaces, where there is water or
liquids whatever their nature, hot substances, ultrafine
substances (plaster, cement, ashes...), large sharp debris
(glass), harmful products (solvents, paint strippers...),
chemical products (acids, cleaning agents...), inflammable
and explosive products (petrol or alcohol based).
Never immerse the appliance in water, splash water onto
it or store it outdoors.
Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped and shows
visible signs of damage or signs of not functioning
properly.
In this case, do not open the appliance but send it to your
nearest Approved Service Centre or contact Rowenta
Customer Services (you can find their contact details on
the last page).
When vacuuming on stairs, the appliance must always be
at a level lower than that of the person using it and in the
vertical position if the steps are too narrow.
When cleaning net curtains or fragile surfaces, ensure that
the electronic or mechanical power control is set to
minimum.
2 • Electrical power supply
Make sure that the operating voltage (voltage) of your
vacuum cleaner is the same as your supply voltage.
Unplug the appliance by removing the power plug,
without pulling on the power cord:
- immediately after use,
- before each time you change the accessories,
- before cleaning, maintaining or changing the filter.
Important: the AC outlet must be protected by a fuse of at
least 16 Amps rating. If the circuit breaker trips when the
appliance is switched on, this may be due to the fact that
other
appliances
with
requirements are connected to the same electrical circuit.
You can avoid tripping the circuit breaker by setting the
appliance on low power before switching on and then
increasing the power later.
3 • Repairs
Repairs should only be carried out by specialists using
original replacement parts.
Repairing an appliance oneself can be dangerous for the
user, and will invalidate the guarantee.
