IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electric appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
●Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
●Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.
●Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
●Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
●Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center before using.
●Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
●Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
●Turn off all controls before unplugging.
●Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
●Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
●Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.
●This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
●Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
●Do not use without motor filter in place.
●Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
●Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
●Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.
●Keep your work area well lighted.
●Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
Double Insulation
●Your vacuum cleaner is double insulated. This means that all external parts are electrically insulated from the mains. This is done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical and mechanical components, making it unnecessary for the cleaner to be earthed.

Proprietarycarpetconditioningandairfresheningmaterials
After using proprietary carpet conditioning powders, it is recommended that the filter be changed.Some of these preparations contain substances which if left in the vacuum cleaner for extended periods could damage the plastic mouldings which form the structure of the cleaner.
Many air fresheners, household deodorants, sprays and polishes contain a highly flammable gas propellant. Because of this, it is particularly important that these products are used strictly in accordance with the relevant
manufacturer’s instructions. |
|
It is essential that none of the above products are sprayed directly into the vacuum cleaner or its filter. |

SERVICE
Should you require service on your Electrolux cleaner, please telephone 08706 055055. Before requesting service, please check whether your problem is covered under Service Checklist (see below).
SERVICE CHECKLIST
•If your cleaner will not operate, check the plug connection, plug fuse and mains fuse.
•Never allow the filter to become so clogged that it impedes the air-flow, thus reducing the cleaning efficiency of the machine.The character of household dust and its effect on the air-flow through the machine may vary considerably. Fluffy dust allows air to pass through readily whereas fine powdery dust or proprietary cleaning powders, pack tightly in the filter, offering greater resistance to air-flow and will reduce cleaning efficiency if the filter becomes overloaded. Always ensure that you have a spare genuine Electrolux filter.
•Always store your cleaner and spare filters in a dry place.
•Renew the filter three or four times a year. This is essential to ensure continued high filtration of dust particles.
•Never pick up hot cinders or lighted cigarette ends.
•Make certain that your cleaner does not come into contact with water or any other liquid. It is not designed as a wet pick up cleaner, and must never be used on damp carpets or wet floors.
Important - in the event of the mains supply cable of this vacuum cleaner requiring replacement, we recommend that this be carried out by a Electrolux Service Agent.
Spares
New filters can be obtained from Authorised Electrolux Dealers and electrical retailers. If difficulty is experienced in obtaining spares please call us on 08706 055055.
DO NOT OIL the motor at any time. The bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed.
Rating Plate
The model, type, and serial numbers are indicated on the rating plate located on the back side of the cleaner. For prompt and complete service information, always refer to these numbers when inquiring about service.
