Windmere V1000 Manuel D’Utilisation

■ READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR USING YOUR VACUUM CLEANER.
■ Use your cleaner only as described in this manual. Use only with SMC 

recommended attachments.

■ To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use it outdoors or on wet surfaces.
■ Disconnect electrical supply before servicing or cleaning out brush area. Failure to 

do so could result in electrical shock or cause brush to start suddenly.

■ Always turn cleaner off before connecting or disconnecting the hose or power 

brush.

■ Always turn cleaner off before unplugging.
■ Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
■ Hold plug when rewinding into cord reel. Do not allow plug to swing when 

rewinding.

■ Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If cleaner is not working as it should, has 

been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, have it serviced 
immediately.

■ Do not use cord as a handle, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
■ Do not run cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
■ Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near 

children.

■ Do not handle plug or cleaner with wet hands.
■ Do not operate cleaner with a punctured hose. Replace if cut or worn.
■ Keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce airflow.
■ Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and 

moving parts.

■ Do not use cleaner without dust bag and filter in place. Always clean the dust bag 

after vacuuming carpet cleaners or fresheners powders and fine dust. These 
products clog the bag, reduce airflow and can cause the bag to burst. Failure to 
change could cause permanent damage to the cleaner.

■ Do not use the cleaner to pick up sharp, hard objects, small toys, pins, paper, etc. 

They may damage the cleaner or dust bag.

■ Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, 

or hot ashes.

■ Do not use cleaner to pick up flammable or combustibles liquids (gasoline, cleaning 

fluids, perfumes, etc.), or use in areas where they may be present. The fumes from 
these substances can create a fire hazard or explosion.

■ Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do not put it on chairs, tables, etc. Keep it 

on floor.

■ You are responsible for making sure that your vacuum cleaner is not used by anyone 

unable to operate it properly.
