Do not pick up anything that is b urning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or
•

•
Double Insulation
●●
● Your vacuum cleaner is double insulated. This means that all external parts are
●●
electrically insulated from the mains. This is done by placing insulation barriers
between the electrical and mechanical components, making it unnecessary for the
cleaner to be earthed.
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 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 on 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.

WARNING
If the mains supply cable becomes damaged 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
Electrolux Service Agent or a similar qualified person.
4. NEVER use the machine with a damaged mains supply cable.
Proprietary carpet conditioning and air freshening materials
After using proprietary car pet conditioning powders, it is recommended that the filter be changed. Some of these
preparations contain substances which if left in the vacuum cleaner for extended periods could damage the plastic
mouldings which 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 impor tant 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, its filter or dust cup.

SERVICE
Should you require service on your Electrolux cleaner, please telephone 08706 055055.
Before requesting service, please check whether your problem is covered under Service
Checklist (see below).
SERVICE CHECKLIST
• If your cleaner will not operate, check the plug connection, plug fuse and mains fuse.
• Never allow the filter to become so clogged that it impedes the air-flow , thus reducing
the cleaning efficiency of the machine. The character of household dust and its eff ect
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 filter, off ering greater resistance to air-flow and will reduce cleaning
efficiency if the filter becomes overloaded. Always ensure that you have a spare
genuine Electrolux filter.
• Always store your cleaner and spare filters in a dry place.
• To maintain high performance of your vacuum cleaner , w ash the filter once a month
or more if required.
• 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.
Important – in the event of the mains supply cable of this vacuum cleaner requiring
replacement, we recommend that this be carried out by a Electrolux Service Agent.
Spares
New filters can be obtained from Authorised Electrolux Dealers and electrical retailers. If
difficulty is experienced in obtaining spares please call us on 08706 055055.
DO NOT OIL the motor at any time. The bearings are permanently
lubricated and sealed.
Rating Plate
The model, type, and serial numbers are
indicated on the rating plate located on the back
side of the cleaner. For prompt and complete
service information, always refer to these
numbers when inquiring about service.
