What is recommended for the SIEMENS VS Q8 vacuum cleaner regarding spare parts, accessories, and dust bags?

Original spare parts, original (special) accessories and original dust bags are designed to work with the features and requirements of the SIEMENS VS Q8 vacuum cleaner. It is therefore recommended that you only use original spare parts, original (special) accessories and original dust bags. This will ensure that the vacuum cleaner has a long service life and that the quality of its cleaning performance will remain consistently high throughout.

Using unsuitable or inferior-quality spare parts, (special) accessories and dust bags can damage the SIEMENS VS Q8 vacuum cleaner. Damage caused by the use of such products is not covered by the guarantee.

What should I do to ensure the proper use of the SIEMENS VS Q8 vacuum cleaner?

Only connect and use the vacuum cleaner in accordance with the specifications on the rating plate.

Never vacuum without the dust bag or dust container, motor protection or exhaust filter, as this may damage the vacuum cleaner.

Always keep the vacuum cleaner away from your head when using nozzles and tubes, as this could cause injury.

When vacuuming stairs, the appliance must always be positioned below the user.

Do not use the power cord or the hose to carry or transport the vacuum cleaner.

If using the appliance for longer than 30 minutes, pull out the power cord completely.

When disconnecting the appliance from the mains, pull on the plug itself to remove it; do not pull on the power cord.

Do not pull the power cord over sharp edges or allow it to become trapped.

When the cable is being automatically rewound, ensure that the mains plug is not thrown towards persons, body parts, animals or objects. Use the mains plug to guide the power cord.

Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any work on the vacuum cleaner.

Do not operate the vacuum cleaner if it is damaged. Unplug the appliance from the mains if a fault is detected.

For safety reasons, only authorised after-sales service personnel are permitted to carry out repairs and fit replacement parts to the vacuum cleaner.

Protect the vacuum cleaner from the weather, moisture and sources of heat.

Do not pour flammable substances or substances containing alcohol onto the filters (dust bag, motor protection filter, exhaust filter, etc.).

The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for use on construction sites, as vacuuming up building rubble could damage the appliance.

When not in use, switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug.

At the end of its life, the appliance should immediately be rendered unusable, then disposed of in an appropriate manner.

What safety precaution should be taken with the mains socket when operating the SIEMENS VS Q8 vacuum cleaner?

The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16 amp circuit breaker. If a circuit breaker is tripped when you switch on the vacuum cleaner, this may be because other electrical appliances which have a high current draw are connected to the same power circuit. To prevent the circuit breaker from tripping, select the lowest power setting before switching the appliance on, and increase the power only once it is running.
