In accordance with the descriptions and the
safety information in these operating in-
structions the appliance is intended for use
as a multi-purpose vacuum cleaner.
This appliance has been designed for use
in private households and is not intended
for commercial use.
– Protect the unit from rain. Do not store
outside.
– This device may not be used to suck in
ash and soot.
Use the multi-purpose vacuum cleaner only
with:

The manufacturer is not responsible for any
damages that may occur on account of im-
proper use or wrong operations.
