The vacuum cleaner switches off
automatically
A temperature limiter will switch the
cleaner off automatically if, for instance,
large articles have blocked the suction
tube or when the filter bag is full or
contains too much fine dust. A heavily
soiled dust compartment or exhaust
filter can also be the cause of
overheating. Switch the vacuum
cleaner off immediately using the
On/Off foot control s. Disconnect from
the electricity supply. Switch it off at the
wall socket and unplug it.
After removing the cause, wait for
approx. 20 - 30 minutes to allow the
vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can
then be switched on again.

Electrical connection for the UK
All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK).
The voltage and frequency are given on
the data plate located underneath the
vacuum cleaner. Please ensure that
these match the household mains
supply. The fuse rating is quoted on the
plug.
The appliance is supplied with a cable
and moulded plug ready for connection
to a 230-240 V/50 Hz a.c. single phase
supply.
Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover
is lost the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement cover
is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is
embossed in words on the base of the
plug, (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).
Replacement fuses should be ASTA
approved to BS1362 and have the
correct rating. Replacement fuses and
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical supplier.
