[. . . ] If the appliance, for instance, has been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance. The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used. Always remove the plug from the wall socket - after use, - in case of any malfunction, and also - before cleaning the appliance. [. . . ] Always start with a low setting when cleaning soft objects such as curtains. Always ensure that the power cord is not routed around or runs over corners or edges, and that it cannot be jammed in a door. During operation, the hose may be used to pull the unit along behind you. However, when carrying the unit, always use the carrying handle. To prevent the power cord from being pulled with excessive force, always change to the next suitable wall socket when cleaning larger areas. Switch off the appliance after use and remove the plug from the wall socket. To retract the power cord automatically into its storage, press the foot switch of the retraction mechanism. Accessories The crevice tool and dual-purpose attachment are located on the accessory holder. Multi-purpose tool The multi-purpose tool is especially suitable for cleaning large areas. It can be adjusted for use on tile floors or carpeted floors by means of the lever on top of the attachment. Rotary turbo-brush This specifically designed multi-purpose tool is fitted with an air-powered rotating brush suitable for cleaning carpeted floors. Caution: do not use this brush to clean any items which are likely to wrap themselves around the rotating brush. When cleaning short-pile carpets etc. , the secondary air-flow opening slide for the rotary brush can be opened to reduce the rotary speed of the brush.
