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, check with a qualified electrician for replacement.
WARNING: If the plug is removed or the mains cable is severed this unit must
be destroyed as it creates a hazard.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require replacement, a BS1362 13 amp fuse must

Overheating safety device
Your vacuum cleaner is fitted with a safety device that switches off the vacuum cleaner
in the event of overheating. Should the vacuum cleaner stop working, turn the vacuum
cleaner off and inspect for blockage of the air inlet or outlet. Wait at least 15 minutes
for the protection system to reset before attempting to restart the vacuum cleaner. If
the vacuum cleaner fails to operate or the safety device switches the vacuum cleaner
off again, return it to your nearest service center for examination or repair.
