Please note
The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16
amp circuit breaker.
If a circuit breaker is tripped when you switch on the
vacuum cleaner, this may be because other electrical
appliances which have a high current draw are con-
nected to the same power circuit.
To prevent the circuit breaker from tripping, select
the lowest power setting before switching the appli-
ance on, and increase the power only once it is run-
ning.
