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 when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before
servicing.

• This appliance is not intended for use by any persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, return it to a service centre 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 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 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 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 vacuum on furniture or stairs as the brushroll may cause damage. Place vacuum 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 the dust cup or filter(s) 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 vacuum indoors in a cool, dry area.

• Keep your work area well lighted.

• Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.

• Unplug before connecting Turbo Brush. Not for use on animals.

PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
The brush in the cleaning head rotates at high speed and can cause damage to the mains supply cable if the vacuum

passes over it during cleaning operations.

Care should be taken to ensure that 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 there is any sign of damage to the supply cable it MUST be renewed. The repair MUST be carried out by an Electrolux

Service Agent or a similar qualified person.

4. NEVER use the machine with a damaged mains supply cable.

Check the Voltage

Before connecting the vacuum to an electrical supply,
ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate located
beneath the vacuum is of the correct voltage for your
electricity supply. If it is not, do not use the vacuum but refer
back to your dealer.

Connecting to your Electricity Supply

• Permanently connected to the vacuum 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 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 Customer HELPLINE 08445 614614.
Calls to this number will be charged at 5p per minute at all
times from a BT Landline.

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-and-yellow.
This vacuum 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, consult 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.
