IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical 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
•
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 air flow.
This vacuum cleaner creates suction and contains a
•
revolving brushroll. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and
all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not place cleaner on furniture or stairs as the brushroll
may cause damage. Place cleaner on floor with the handle
in storage position while using attachments.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such
•
as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
Do not use without dust bag in place.
•
Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent
•
burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the
drive belt.
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.
•
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU START
CHECK THE VOLTAGE
First check the voltage shown on the data plate (see rear view)
to make sure that the cleaner is of the correct voltage for your
electricity supply. If it is not, do not use the cleaner but refer back
to your dealer.
CONNECTING TO YOUR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
Permanently connected to the cleaner is a mains supply (2-core)
cable fitted with a non-rewirable plug incorporating a 13A fuse.
In the event the fuse requires replacement, the fuse cover should be
removed using a small screwdriver. The old fuse MUST be replaced
by a 13A ASTA approved BS1362 fuse or a BSI approved fuse. The
cover must be replaced before the plug is used again. In the event
of loss of the fuse cover, replacements can be obtained from your
Electrolux Retailers and must be of the same colour as indicated by
the coloured insert on the base of the plug.
If difficulty is experienced in obtaining a replacement, contact Electrolux
on 08706 055055.
Under no circumstances should the plug be used without a
correct fuse cover fitted.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket
outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.
The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of
shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13 amp socket in another
part of your home.
The wires in the mains cable of this appliance are coloured in
accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral. Brown: Live.
As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of this appliance may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
that is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire that is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
that is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
If using a three-pin plug, do not make any connection to the terminal
marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol, or coloured green
or green-and-yellow. This cleaner is double insulated and no earth
connection is necessary.
It is in your interest to ensure that the plug is correctly attached
to the mains cable. In case of doubt, have it done by a qualified
electrician, as Electrolux cannot regard the repair of faults on the
plug connection as a service that can be given free of charge under
the terms of the guarantee.

BEFORE YOU START (continued)
WARNING
The brush in the cleaning head rotates at high speed and can
cause damage to the mains supply cable if the cleaner passes
over it during cleaning operations.
Care should be taken to ensure this does not happen. If the cleaning
head has accidentally passed over the mains supply cable the
following action should be taken:
1. Switch off and remove the plug from the socket outlet.
2. Examine the mains supply cable for damage (only after removing
the plug from the socket outlet).
3. If the supply cord is damaged, it MUST be replaced by the
manufacturer, its Service Agent or similarly qualified persons 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 dustbag or filters be changed. Some of these preparations
contain substances that, if left in the vacuum cleaner for extended
periods, could damage the plastic mouldings that 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.
SERVICE
Should you require service on your Electrolux cleaner, please
telephone Electrolux on 08706 055055. Before requesting service,
please check whether your problem is covered under the Service
Checklist (see below).
New filter pads, dustbags, brushrollers and drive belts can be
obtained from Electrolux Retailers. If difficulty is experienced in
obtaining spares, please contact Electrolux on 08706 055055.
SERVICE CHECKLIST
• If your cleaner will not operate, check the plug connection, plug
fuse and mains fuse.
•
Never allow the dustbag to become so full 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 dustbag, offering greater
resistance to air-flow and will reduce cleaning efficiency if the
bag becomes overloaded. Always ensure that you have a spare
genuine Electrolux dustbag.
•
Always store your cleaner and spare dustbags/filters in a dry
place.
•
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 us on 08706 055055.
•
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.
Spares
New filters, dustbags, brushrollers and drive belts may be obtained
from Authorised Electrolux Dealers and electrical retailers. If
difficulty is experienced in obtaining spares please call us on
08706 055055.
