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.
