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.
