Disposal information
Packaging
The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from being damaged during transportation.
It is made of environment-friendly materials and can be recycled.
Dispose of packaging that is no longer required at an appropriate recycling point.

Please note
Only connect the appliance to a socket that is protected by at least a 16 amp fuse.
If a fuse should blow 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 tripping, select the lowest power setting before switching the vacuum cleaner on, and increase the power only once it is running.
