INFORMATION IMPORTANT
Fuse Blue
3.If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by a Electrolux Service Agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
4.NEVER use the machine with a damaged mains supply cable.
Proprietary carpet conditioning and air freshening materials
After using proprietary carpet conditioning powders, it is recommended that the filters 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 any of its filters, hose assembly, dustbag chamber or dust cup.
Thermal Cut Off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner switches off, push the switch pedal once and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a full dust cup, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and push the on/off switch On (I). If the cleaner still does not run, please call Electrolux Customer Care.

SERVICE CHECKLIST
IMPORTANT |
• |
If your cleaner will not operate, check the plug connection, plug fuse and mains fuse. |
• |
Never allow the dust cup to become so full that it impedes the airflow, thus reducing the cleaning efficiency of the machine. |
|
|
|
The character of household dust and its effect on the airflow 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 dust cup, offering |
|
• |
greater resistance to air flow and will reduce cleaning efficiency if the cup becomes overloaded. |
|
Always store your cleaner and spare dust filters in a dry place. |
|
INFORMATION |
• |
Renew the filter pads three or four times a year. This is essential to ensure continued high filtration of dust particles. |
• |
Sucking up such items as stockings, clippings of cloth, sizeable pieces of paper, wrappings from cigarette packets or sweets |
|
|
|
etc., may block the hose. Electrolux regrets that the clearing of blocked hoses cannot be regarded as service that can |
|
|
be given free of charge, under the guarantee. Should a blockage occur, first disconnect the cleaner from the electricity |
|
|
supply, refer to section headed “Blockages.” If these operations are not successful, contact Electrolux on 08445 614614. |
|
• |
Calls to this number will be charged at 5p per minute at all times from a BT Landline. |
|
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 - If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by a Electrolux Service Agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
