including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 a 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 or operate without shoes.
• 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 airflow.
• This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or
hot ashes.
• Do not use without dust bag or filter(s) in place.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not 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.

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 nonrewirable 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
retailer 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 an Electrolux Service Agent
or phone 08706 055055.
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 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.

Automatic Motor Shut-Off
To protect from overheating, this vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermostat which
automatically shuts off the motor if it overheats. Should this happen:
1. Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner because the thermostat will allow the
cleaner to automatically start running again when the motor cools (approximately 30
minutes).
2. Check the hose, dust cup and filters regularly, as a clogged hose, full dust cup or
dirty filters could cause the motor to overheat.
3. Call an Electrolux Service Agent if the cleaner will not operate after cooling for ap-
proximately 30 minutes. Call Electrolux at 08706 055055.
