Ensuring your safety
The Electrolux Mondo is for domestic use only and has been
designed to ensure maximum safety and performance.
Please follow these simple precautions:
L
The Mondo is double-insulated so it must not
be earthed
M
The Mondo is only to be used by adults. Young
children or infirm persons should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance
N
Always store in a dry place
O
Do not use to pick up liquids
P
Avoid sharp objects
Q
Do not pick up hot cinders or lighted cigarette ends
R
Do not use near flammable gases
S
Avoid tugging on the mains cable and check cable
regularly for damage
T
Note: Do not use your cleaner with a damaged
cable. If damaged the cable should be replaced at
an Electrolux Service Centre
U
The Plug must be removed from the socket-outlet
before cleaning or maintaining the appliance
W
All service and repairs must be carried out by
authorised Electrolux service staff
For Aust/NZ: We recommend you do not use your vacuum on
carpet cleaning foams or to clean up building materials
including 'gib' or plaster dust. They could damage
consumable items or key parts and components in your
vacuum and render your warranty invalid.

Getting the best results
k
Carpets: Use the floor nozzle with the lever in this
position. Use the Turbo nozzle which is ideal for picking
up hair and fibres and for grooming your carpet.
u
Hard floors: Use the floor nozzle with the lever in
this position.
p
Loose rugs/curtains/lightweight fabrics: Reduce
the suction power. Use the floor nozzle for loose rugs
and the upholstery nozzle for curtains, cushions etc.
q
Lamps, pictures and bookshelves: Use the dusting
brush.
r
Confined areas: Use the crevice nozzle for crevices,
corners and radiators.
Dust bag indicator and changing the dust bag
For peak performance the dust bag must be changed
when full. If the dust bag should accidentally get
broken in the cleaner, take cleaner to an Electrolux
Service Centre for cleaning. Check the dust bag
regularly and replace when necessary. The dust bag
indicator window will gradually turn red when filling
and completely red when full / the electronic indicator
will flash every half second when full.
To check the dust bag, the cleaner must be switched
on, with all attachments connected and off the floor.
The dust bag full indicator may signify that the bag is
blocked (occasionally caused by very fine dust) which
will cause loss of suction and may result in
overheating. If this occurs change the dust bag even if
it is not full.
To change the dust bag:
A Release catch and swing back lid before removing
the dust bag, bend the tab into the hole to prevent
dust escaping.
B Remove the dust bag.
C Insert new dust bag by fitting the bag slots over
holders.
We recommend the dust bag is changed:
*
after using a carpet cleaning powder
*
if there is a bad smell from the cleaner, then you
should also change the filter
Note: Use only Electrolux original dust bags and
filters (ref E44)
Dust bag safety device
To avoid damaging the cleaner do not use it without a
dust bag. A safety device is fitted which prevents the
cover closing without a dust bag. Do not attempt to
force cover shut.
Changing the filters
These should be changed with every fifth dust bag.
Never use the cleaner without the motor protection
filter.
To change filters:
a) Lift lid, remove dust bag and filter.
b) Insert new filter, replace dust bag and close. Mondo
also has exhaust filters.
To change it:
a) Lift rear grill and remove filter.
b) Insert new filter and replace grill.
Troubleshooting
1. Power: If the electric power does not come on,
disconnect from mains and check plugs, cable and
fuses where appropriate.
2. Blockages/dirty filters: The cleaner may switch
itself off in the event of a severe blockage or
excessively dirty filter(s). In such cases, disconnect
from mains and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
Clear blockage and/or replace filter(s) and restart.
The clearing of blocked hoses is not covered by the
guarantee. To avoid blockages and maintain suction
efficiency, the floor nozzles should be cleaned regularly
using the hose handle. Disconnect from mains and
check the turbo nozzle for threads entangled in the
brush roller. Remove by snipping threads with scissors
taking care not to cut the bristles.
Please also see Electrolux additional information
towards the back of this booklet.
3. Water: If water is sucked into the cleaner the motor
must be changed at an Electrolux Service Centre.
If you have any comments on the cleaner or the
Instructions for use Booklet please e-mail us on:
floorcare@electrolux.se

Before you start … check the voltage
Before connecting the cleaner to an electrical supply
ensure that the voltage marked on the data plate (on
the underside of the cleaner) is correct for your
electrical 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 of the fuse
requiring replacement the fuse cover should be
removed using a small screwdriver. The old fuse
MUST be replaced by a 13A ASTA approved BS1362
fuse and the fuse 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 dealer or Electricity Board 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 your nearest Electrolux Service Centre.
(Please see the separate Electrolux Service
Organisation leaflet).
In no circumstances must 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 which is coloured blue must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected
to the terminal which 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-andyellow. 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.
As a general guide to fitting any plug
•
Ensure the lengths of wire inside the plug are
prepared correctly.
•
Connections should be firmly made after all
conductor strands are entered into the terminal
posts.
•
When preparing the cable ends take care not to
damage the outer sheath, or the insulation
surrounding the inner conductors.
•
Tighten all screws.
•
Replace the top cover of the plug and secure.
