Please note
The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16
amp circuit breaker.
If a circuit breaker is tripped when you switch on the
vacuum cleaner, this may be because other electri-
cal appliances which have a high current draw are
connected to the same power circuit.
To prevent the circuit breaker from tripping, select
the lowest power setting before switching the ap-
pliance on, and increase the power only once it is
running.
