!
Please note
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 fuse from blowing, select the lowest
power setting before switching the appliance on,
and increase the power only once it is running.
Instructions on disposal
„ Packaging
The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum
cleaner from being damaged during transportation.
It is made of environmentally friendly materials and
can be recycled. Dispose of packaging that is no
longer required at an appropriate recycling point.
„ Old appliances
Old appliances still contain many valuable materi-
als. You should therefore take appliances that have
reached the end of their service life to your retailer
or recycling centre so that they can be recycled. For
current disposal methods, enquire at a retailer or
your local council.
„ Disposal of filters and dust bags
Filters and dust bags are manufactured from
environmentally friendly materials. Provided they
do not contain substances that are not permitted
in household waste, you can dispose of them with
your normal household waste.
