•Do not store the appliance near hot ovens
or heating appliances.
Mains lead
•Do not allow the mains lead to become
strained or run this appliance over it.
•If the electrical cable becomes damaged

associated with operating electrical
appliances. Never allow children to use
this appliance.

other volatile substances. Never pick up
acids, asbestos or asbestos dust.
•Always disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply after use or prior to cleaning
or replacing dust bags.
•The appliance should never be left
running unsupervised.
•Repairs to electrical appliances are only to

Unprofessional repairs can be dangerous
for users.

accessories
Product safety
•Never use the appliance without the filter
installed.
•Never use the appliance to vacuum hot
ashes, broken glass, sharp objects or
liquids.
•Never modify the cleaner in any way.
Electrical
requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate
of your appliance corresponds with your
house electricity supply which must be A.C.
(Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.
If you cut off the plug and let go of the
cable it will rewind into the machine.
Therefore you must pull out a length of cable
and secure it before cutting off the plug and
refitting a new one.
WARNING: The plug removed from
the mains lead, if severed, must be
destroyed as a plug with bared flexible
cord is hazardous if engaged into a live
socket outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require replacement, a BS1362 13 amp fuse
must be fitted.
