- an electrical installation with voltage between
220V and 240V. Connecting to the wrong voltage
may cause irreparable damage to the appliance
and will invalidate your guarantee ;
- an earthed socket. If you are using a mains
extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated
(10A) with an earth, and is fully extended.

storage space before connecting to an earthed
socket. When using the brush, fully extend the
brush-unit.
