IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Important information for users in the UK:

The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE - neutral BROWN - live

The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured makings identifying the terminals in your plug.

PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked L or coloured RED. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked

N or coloured BLACK.

VERY IMPORTANT:

Neither wire is to be connected to the earth terminal of a 3-pin plug If a 13 amp plug is fitted, fit a 13 amp BS 1362 fuse. If any other type of plug is used, protect with a 15 amp fuse at the distribution board.

For appliances which come with a mains lead and plug moulded on; the plug moulded on to the cord incorporates a fuse.

For replacement, use a 13 amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA approved or certified fuses should be used. The fuse cover/carrier must be replaced in the even of changing the fuse. The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. A replacement cover/carrier

must be obtained from authorised electrical goods retailers.

WARNING! Should it become necessary to replace the moulded-on plug then the defective plug should be destroyed to avoid any possible shock hazard that could occur should such a plug be inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house. Please remove the fuse from the old plug.

EDGE CLEANING FEATURE

The edge cleaning feature provides improved cleaning of carpets along walls and furniture.

This vacuum has a motor protector by-pass valve which automatically opens to provide cooling air to the motor when a clog prevents the normal flow of air. If the by-pass valve opens to prevent motor overheating and possible damage to the vacuum, a change of sound will be noticed as air rushes through the valve opening. If this occurs, turn the vacuum off and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Then check for blockage as described under the BLOCKAGE REMOVAL section.

The motor protector by-pass valve may open when using attachments or when cleaning new carpet, due to reduced air flow caused by the attachments themselves or by new carpet reduce filling the dust container quickly.
