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 therefore be recycled. Dispose of packaging that
is no longer required at an appropriate recycling
point.
Old appliance
Old appliances still contain many valuable materials.
Therefore, please take appliances that have reached
the end of their service life to your retailer or recy-
cling centre so that they can be recycled. For current
disposal methods, please enquire at a retailer or
your local council.
Disposal of filters and dust bags
Filters and dust bags are manufactured from envi-
ronmentally friendly materials. Provided they do not
contain substances that are not permitted in house-
hold waste, you can dispose of them with your nor-
mal household waste.
Proper use
Only connect and use the vacuum cleaner in accor-
dance with the specifications on the rating plate.
Never vacuum without the dust bag or dust contain-
er, motor protection or exhaust filter.
=> This may damage the vacuum cleaner.
Do not vacuum close to the head when using a noz-
zle and tube.
=> This could cause injury!
When vacuuming stairs, the appliance must always
be positioned below the user.
Do not use the power cord or the hose to carry or
transport the vacuum cleaner.
For safety reasons, if this appliance's mains power
cable becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, their after-sales service department or
a similarlyqualified person.
Fully extend the power cord when using the vacuum
cleaner continuously for several hours.
When disconnecting the appliance from the mains,
pull on the plug itself to remove it; do not pull on
the power cord.
Do not pull the power cord over sharp edges or
allow it to be-come trapped.
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any work
on the vacuum cleaner.
Do not operate the vacuum cleaner if it is damaged.
Unplug the appliance from the mains if a fault is
detected.
For safety reasons, only authorised after-sales
service personnel are permitted to carry out repairs
and fit replacement parts to the vacuum cleaner.
Protect the vacuum cleaner from the weather,
moisture and sources of heat.
Do not pour flammable substances or substances
containing alcohol onto the filters (dust bag, motor
protection filter, exhaust filter, etc.).
The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for use on
construction sites.
=> Vacuuming up building rubble could damage the
appliance.
Switch off the appliance when it is not in use.
At the end of its life, the appliance should immedi-
ately be rendered unusable, then disposed of in an
appropriate manner.
!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 electrical
appliances which have a high current draw are con-
nected to the same power circuit.
To prevent the circuit breaker from tripping, select
the lowest power setting before switching the appli-
ance on, and increase the power only once it is run-
ning.
