2. Varnostne informacije
Pri uporabi električnih naprav vedno upoštevajte osnovne varnostne ukrepe, da zmanjšate tveganje požara, električnega udara ali poškodb.
- Pred uporabo vakuuma preberite vsa navodila.
- Ne puščajte sesalnika brez nadzora, ko je priključen na električno omrežje. Izvlecite vtič iz vtičnice, ko ni v uporabi in pred servisiranjem.
- Ne uporabljajte na prostem ali na mokrih površinah.
- Ne dovolite, da bi ga uporabljali kot igračo. Pri uporabi s strani otrok ali v bližini otrok je potrebna posebna pozornost.
- Uporabljajte samo tako, kot je opisano v tem priročniku. Uporabljajte samo nastavke, ki jih priporoča proizvajalec.
- Ne uporabljajte sesalnika, če je kabel ali vtič poškodovan. Če sesalnik ne deluje pravilno, če je padel na tla, je poškodovan, puščen na prostem ali padel v vodo, ga odnesite v servisni center.
- Ne vlecite in ne prenašajte za kabel, uporabljajte kabla kot ročaj, zaprite vrat na kabel ali vlecite kabla okoli ostrih robov ali vogalov. Ne poganjajte vakuuma preko kabla. Kabel hranite stran od vročih površin.
- Ne izklapljajte z vleko za kabel. Za izklop primite vtič, ne kabla.
- Ne prijemajte vtiča ali sesalnika z mokrimi rokami.
- V odprtine ne vstavljajte predmetov. Ne uporabljajte z zamašenimi odprtinami; hranite brez prahu, vlaken, las in vsega, kar lahko zmanjša pretok zraka.
- Lase, ohlapna oblačila, prste in vse dele telesa ne približujte odprtinam in premikajočim se delom.
- Ne sesajte ničesar, kar gori ali se kadi, kot so cigarete, vžigalice ali vroč pepel.
- Ne uporabljajte za sesanje vnetljivih ali gorljivih tekočin, kot je bencin, ali uporabljajte na območjih, kjer so lahko prisotne.
- Ne uporabljajte brez nameščene vrečke za prah in/ali filtrov.
- Pred odklopom izklopite vse kontrole.
