Disposal information
Packaging
The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cle-
aner from being damaged during transport. It is
made of environmentally friendly materials and can
therefore be recycled. Dispose of packaging that is
no longer required at an appropriate recycling point.
Used vacuum cleaners
Used vacuum cleaners still contain many valuable
materials. Therefore, please take appliances that
have reached the end of their service lift to your
retailer or recycling centre so that they can be recyc-
led. For current disposal methods, please enquire at
a retailer or your local council.
!
Please note
The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16
amp fuse.
If a fuse is tripped when you switch on the vacuum
cleaner, this may be because other electrical applian-
ces which have a high current draw are connected to
the same power circuit.
To prevent the fuse from tripping, select the lowest
power setting before switching the appliance on, and
increase the power only once it is running.
