water or other liquid.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Never use the appliance to vacuum hot ashes,
broken glass, sharp objects or liquids.

Safety cut-out
• If the cleaner overheats, a motor protection
thermostat will automatically switch the motor

unplug from the power supply, and leave the
cleaner to cool for at least 60 minutes. Check
the airways for blockages, empty the dust
canister and clean the filters before restarting.
Important safety instructions
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.
WARNING: The plug removed from the mains
lead, if severed, must be destroyed, as a plug
with a bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged
into a live socket outlet.
IMPORTANT: 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 the plug off and re-fitting
a new one.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require changing,
a 13 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.
