Static shocks felt when touching the vacuum or wand during use

Safety: Static shocks are usually not dangerous but can be uncomfortable.

• 1. Increase humidity: Use a humidifier or place bowls of water in the room to raise humidity.
• 2. Wear shoes: Avoid vacuuming barefoot on synthetic carpets.
• 3. Wipe surfaces: Clean the exterior plastic surfaces of the SilverCrest vacuum with a slightly damp cloth (battery removed) and dry thoroughly.

If shocks are severe or accompanied by burning smells or visible sparks, stop using the vacuum and have it inspected.
