WARNING: If the plug is removed or the mains cable is severed this unit must be destroyed as it creates a hazard.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require replacement, a BS1362 13 amp fuse must be fitted.

Overheating safety device

Your vacuum cleaner is fitted with a safety device that switches off the vacuum cleaner in the event of overheating. Should the vacuum cleaner stop working, turn the vacuum cleaner off and inspect for blockage of the air inlet or outlet. Wait at least 15 minutes for the protection system to reset before attempting to restart the vacuum cleaner. If the vacuum cleaner fails to operate or the safety device switches the vacuum cleaner off again, return it to your nearest service center for examination or repair.
