Disposal information

Packaging

The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from being damaged during transport.

It is made of environment-friendly materials and can be recycled. Dispose of unneeded packaging at recycling stations.

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

The mains socket must be protected by a 16A fuse.

If a fuse should be 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.
