� Do not point the hose at the eyes or ears nor put it in your mouth when the vacuum
cleaner is switched on and the hose is connected to the vacuum cleaner.
� When the vacuum cleaner is used to suck up fine dust, the pores of the dustbag may become
clogged, causing the passage of air through the dustbag to become obstructed.As a result, the
dustbag-full indicator will indicate that the dustbag needs to be replaced, even though the
dustbag is not full at all (see chapter 'Replacing the dustbag').

and shorten the life of the appliance.

provided.
