Connecting the appliance safely

The appliance is charged with electrical current. Thus, there is a risk of electric shock.
Therefore:

• Check the appliance and mains adapter for possible damage before use.
  Never operate a defective appliance or an appliance with a defective mains adapter.

• Only connect the mains adapter to sockets which match the specifications on the mains adapter type plate.

• Never attempt to repair the appliance or its mains adapter yourself. To prevent hazards, repairs to the appliance and the mains adapter may only be made by our customer service. Arrange repair of a defective appliance with a specialist dealer or contact SEVERIN customer service (see contact information in appendix to this instruction manual or at www.severin.de).

• Do not immerse the appliance or mains adapter in water or other liquids, or treat with liquids. Keep the appliance and the mains adapter away from rain and wet conditions. Do not operate the appliance and mains adapter outdoors or in rooms with high humidity.

• Do not handle the appliance or mains adapter with wet hands. When unplugging the mains adapter from the socket, always pull directly on the plug.

• Make sure that the cable of the mains adapter is not kinked, pinched or run over and that it does not come in contact with sources of heat, humidity and sharp edges. Make sure that the cable of the mains adapter does not become a trip hazard.

• Before cleaning or servicing the appliance and before changing accessories, switch off the appliance and make sure that the mains adapter is not connected.

Safety when handling rechargeable batteries

If rechargeable batteries are handled improperly, there is a risk of injury and explosion.

• Never replace the rechargeable battery with other rechargeable batteries or other non-rechargeable batteries. Only use identical rechargeable batteries.
  Never short-circuit rechargeable batteries, i.e. never touch both poles at the same time, especially not with objects that conduct electricity. Store rechargeable batteries so that they cannot be short-circuited by other rechargeable batteries or metal objects during storage.

• To charge the rechargeable battery, only use the mains adapter included in the delivery. Never charge the rechargeable battery with another mains adapter.
  Only use the mains adapter included in the delivery to charge the rechargeable battery of this appliance.

• At the end of its life span, remove the rechargeable battery as described.
  Then take the rechargeable battery to an appropriate collection point nearby without delay, thus ensuring safe and environmentally-appropriate disposal. Never dispose of the rechargeable battery in household waste.

• Before removing the rechargeable battery, make sure that the mains adapter is unplugged from the socket.

• Never take the rechargeable battery apart, expose it to high temperatures or throw it onto fires.

• In case of improper handling, liquid can escape from the rechargeable battery. Do not use the rechargeable battery if it is damaged or if it is leaking liquid.

  • If liquid has escaped, avoid contact with the liquid.
  • In case of contact with the liquid, rinse it off immediately with copious amounts of water. In case of after effects (irrespective of type), consult a doctor.

Rotating brush roller

The appliance contains a powered brush roller. This can cause injuries. Therefore, note the following:

• Before cleaning or maintaining the appliance, make sure that the appliance is switched off and is not on charge.
• Ensure that parts of your body can never get under the brush roller.
• Do not vacuum near cables, wires and long fringes. On the one hand, there is a danger that the cable’s insulation will be damaged. On the other hand, these objects can get caught in the brush roller and thereby damage the appliance

LED lighting

LEDs are installed in the floor nozzle. These illuminate the work area in front of the floor nozzle.

• Do not look into the LEDs during operation.
• It is not possible to exchange the LEDs.
