The above can cause serious damage to the
motor – damage which is not covered by the
warranty.
Power cord precautions:
• A damaged cord should only be replaced by an
authorised Electrolux service centre. Damage
to the vacuum cleaner’s cord is not covered by
the warranty.
22
• Never pull or lift the vacuum cleaner by the
cord.
• Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet

cleaner.
• Regularly check that the plug and cord are not

Before starting
11 Insert the hose so that the catches click to
engage (press the catches to release the
hose).
12 Attach the telescopic tube to the hose
handle and the oor nozzle (certain models
have a lock button that must be pressed
before the hose and telescopic tube can be
pulled apart). If you have a vacuum cleaner
with remote control, make sure that the
connector is pressed in completely.
13 Electrolux Twinclean features an automatic
cord winder (autoreverse). Pull out the
power cord and plug into a socket. Pull
lightly on the cord to release the catch.
14 Start/stop the vacuum cleaner by pushing
the button at the top of the unit.
15 If you have a vacuum cleaner with remote
control, the vacuum cleaner is started by
lightly pressing the Max or Min button. Turn
o the vacuum cleaner by pushing O.
16 Adjust the suction power by pressing the
Max-Min button on the vacuum cleaner or
by pressing either the Max or Min button
on the remote control. The light for suction
power turns dark blue at max suction
power and light blue at min suction power.
Getting the best results
Hard oors and carpets: The Max In, Max In
Turbo and Max In motorised oor nozzles (5)
detect the type of surface being vacuumed. The
nozzle with the pedal is set to the type of surface
to be vacuumed: Position 1 for carpets (17) and
position 2 for hard oors (18).
Crevices, corners, etc.: Use the crevice nozzle
(8).
Upholstered furniture: Use the upholstery
nozzle (9).
Curtains, lightweight fabrics, etc.: Use the
upholstery nozzle (9).
The suction power can be reduced by pressing
the Max-Min button on the vacuum cleaner or
the Min button on the remote control.
Frames, bookshelves, etc.: Use the dusting
brush (10).
Using Max In nozzles
Max In, Max In Turbo and Max In motorised
oor nozzles, are ideal for both hard oors and
carpets. The Max In motorized nozzle receives
power via the tube and hose, and no additional
electrical connections are needed. A blue light
on the nozzle indicates that the brush roller is
turning. If anything should become lodged in the
brush roller, the light turns o.
Note: Do not use the Max In Turbo or Max In
motorised nozzles on fur rugs, rugs with long
fringes or pile depths exceeding 15 mm. To avoid
damaging the carpet, do not let the nozzle stay
in one place when the brush is rotating. Do not
pass the nozzle over electrical cords, and be sure
to switch o the vacuum cleaner immediately
after use.
Parking position
19 When you pause during cleaning, the tube
can be attached to the rear of the vacuum
cleaner.
When storing, the vacuum cleaner can be
20
placed on end and the tube attached at the
bottom of the vacuum cleaner.
How to use the telescopic tube
21 Extend or shorten the telescopic tube by
pushing the release button towards the
nozzle and simultaneously adjusting the
length of the telescopic tube. There is a
catch at both ends of the telescopic tube.
Certain models only have one release
button.
Emptying the dust container
Electrolux Twinclean’s dust container must be
emptied when it is full to the Max sign. The dust
container must never be overlled.
22 Press the release button at the rear of
vacuum cleaner.
23 Lift the dust container out.
24 Empty it over a wastepaper basket by
pressing the release button. Put the dust
container back and press the rear part of
the container until it clicks into place.
Cleaning the dust lter
Electrolux Twinclean has a dust lter that should
be cleaned now and then to secure a constant
high suction. When it is time to clean the lter,
the lter light on the vacuum cleaner will ash.
The lter is cleaned while in the vacuum cleaner.
25 Turn o the vacuum cleaner when the lter
light ashes.
26 Open the cover by lifting the release catch.
27 Lift up the lter holder and turn it a half
turn so that the lters change places with
each other and put the lters back into the
vacuum cleaner.
28 Turn the left lter a full turn in the direction
of the arrow. The lter light begins to ash
and the vacuum cleaner starts, and as you
turn, the lter is cleaned. After you have
made a full turn, the vacuum cleaner turns
o and the lter light stops ashing. You
can now close the cover.
About once each year, when the lter light
begins to ash more frequently, the lters need
to be washed.
A Lift out the lters according to the above.
B Remove one lter at a time from the lter
container (29) by pressing the marked
release button and turning the lter.
C Rinse the lters in lukewarm water and let
them dry.
D Thread the lters back into the lter holder.
Cleaning the exhaust lter
There are two types of Electrolux Twinclean
exhaust lters:
• Standard lter. Must be cleaned every 5–7
years.
• HEPA lter (thicker with creased bre material).
Must be cleaned every 2–3 years.
There is no dierence in how the lters are
cleaned or tted.
30 Remove the dust container by pressing the
release button at the back of the vacuum
cleaner and lifting the container.
31 Lift the two snap catches at the back edge
of the vacuum cleaner and open the lter
cover.
32 Lift out the lter.
33 Rinse the inside (dirty side) in lukewarm
tap water. Tap the lter frame to remove
the water. Repeat the process four times.
Note: Do not use cleaning agents and avoid
touching the lter surface.
Let the lter dry.
Put the lter back into place, close the lter
cover and ret the dust container.
Clearing the hose and nozzle
The vacuum cleaner automatically stops if there
is a blockage in the nozzle, tubes or hose or if the
lter or lter holder becomes blocked. Pull out
the power plug and allow the vacuum cleaner
to cool down for 20–30 minutes. Remove the
blockage that is causing the problem, and/or
replace the dirty lter. Restart the vacuum
cleaner.
34 Use a suitable implement to clear the tubes
and hose of blockages.
35 It is sometimes possible to clear the hose by
“massaging” it. However, be careful in case
the obstruction has been caused by glass
or needles caught inside the hose. Note:
The warranty does not cover any damage to
hoses caused by cleaning them.

foreign objects.

it by pressing down. Put the lter holder
back in place and close the vacuum cleaner
cover.
Cleaning the Max In

should be cleaned frequently to avoid
losing suction power. The easiest way to do
this is by using the hose handle.

or anything else that may have got stuck.
42 Use the crevice nozzle to clean the wheel
axles. Ret the wheels by pressing them

outlet before cleaning.

outer latch out, and the middle cover to the
left, and this will also free the wheels for
cleaning.

when emptying.
46 Remove the dust container.
