This automatically switches off the vacuum cleaner if
it is blocked and overheating. Unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the mains and make sure that the
nozzles, suction pipe and hose are not blocked and
check whether the filter needs replacing.
Having cleared the blockage, leave the vacuum
cleaner to cool down for at least one hour. It can
then be switched back on again.

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.
Used vacuum cleaners
Used vacuum cleaners still contain many recyclable
materials.
Therefore, please take used vacuum cleaners to your
retailer or recycling centre so that they can be
recycled.
For current disposal methods, please enquire at your
appliance dealership or local council.
!
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.
