Used vacuum cleaners
Used vacuum cleaners still contain many valuable
materials. Therefore, please take your used vacuum
cleaner to your retailer or recycling centre to be
recycled. For current disposal methods, please
enquire at your retailer or your local council.
Disposal of filters and dust bags
Filters and dust bags are made from environmentally
friendly materials.
As long as they do not contain substances that are
not permitted to be disposed of in the household
rubbish, you can dispose of them with your normal
household rubbish.
!
Please note
The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16
amp fuse.
If a fuse should blow when you switch on the
appliance, 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.
Fold out the picture pages.
