CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ
Lors de l’utilisation d’un appareil électrique, quelques précautions élémentaires doivent
être observées, incluant les suivantes:
LISEZ TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT D’UTILISER VOTRE ASPIRATEUR.
AVERTISSEMENT
Pour réduire le risque de feu, de choc électrique ou de blessure:
N’utilisez pas l’aspirateur à l’extérieur ou sur une surface mouillée.
N’utilisez jamais l’aspirateur ou le chargeur s’ils ont été endommagés. Si l’aspirateur
ne fonctionne pas comme il le faut, s’il a été échappé, s’il a été endommagé, s’il a
été laissé à l’exterieur, s’il a été échappé dans de l’eau, retournez-le à un centre de
service avant de l’utiliser.
•
•
Pour éviter que l’aspirateur surchauffe, ou que l’aspirateur ou les piles soient
endommagés, n’utilisez pas l’aspirateur lorsqu’il est encore dans son support de

recharge.
Ne permittez pas que l’aspirateur soit utilisé comme un jouet. Une attention particulière
est nécessaire lorsqu’il est utilisé par ou près d’un enfant.
•
Suivez les recommandations d’utilisation de ce manuel.
Pour recharger l’aspirateur, utilisez uniquement le chargeur qui l’accompagne –
Eureka modèle nº 351U-1025-1A pour 120 volt.
•
•
Ne pas tirer l’aspirateur ou le transporter par le cordon. Ne pas utiliser le cordon en
guise de poignée. Ne pas fermer une porte sur le cordon ou tirer le cordon sur des
bordures ou des coins pointus. Tenir le cordon à distance des surfaces chauffantes.
•
Ne pas utiliser des rallonges ou des prises qui n’ont pas une capacité suffisante
pour transporter le courant.
•
Ne pas débrancher en tirant sur le cordon. Pour débrancher, empoignez le chargeur
et non pas le cordon.
•
Ne pas manipuler le chargeur ou l’aspirateur avec les mains mouillées.
NE PAS MUTILER OU INCINERER LES PILES. LES PILES EXPLOSENT A DES
TEMPERATURES EXCESSIVES.
•
•

•
des conditions d’emploi excessif ou de température excessive. Si le liquide touche
la peau (1) laver tout de suite la peau avec de l’eau et du savon (2) Neutraliser avec
un acide doux, tel que le jus de citron ou le vinaigre. Au cas de contact avec les
yeux, nettoyer à grande eau pour un minimum de 10 minutes. Cherchez des soins
médicaux.

•
l’aspirateur serait accidentalement mis en marche.
Portez une attention particulière lorsque vous nettoyez les escaliers.
Ne pas utiliser pour ramasser des liquides inflammables ou combustibles comme de
l’essence. Ne pas utiliser dans les endroits où ces liquides pourraient être présents.
•
•
Situez le support pour l’aspirateur à l’intérieur, dans un endroit frais, sec et protégé
pour éviter le choc électrique ou les dommages.
•
Travaillez toujours dans un endroit bien éclairé.
Débranchez les appareils électriques avant de les nettoyer avec l’aspirateur.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The cordless vacuum cleaner is the answer for quick, convenient, and easy cleanups.
Grab the cleaner for little tasks rather than using a larger cleaner. Place the wall bracket
in any area of easy access that allows versatile cleaning of kitchen crumbs, or steps.
Always store the cleaner in the wall bracket to provide a ready charge.
Charge for 14-16 hours before first use.
Batteries could lose charge in shipping.
It is best to charge the batteries when temperatures are between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F
(40°C). Other temperatures could damage batteries.
While charging, the charger may become warm to the touch. This is a normal condition
and does not indicate a problem.
