Disposal information
Packaging
The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from being damaged during transportation. It is made of environmentally 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 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.
