on the underside of the vacuum clea­ner.)

• The mains circuit for the socket used
must be protected with a fuse with a
rating of at least 10 A.

• Prior to performing maintenance or
cleaning, ensure that the appliance is
switched off and unplugged from the
mains.

• Never remove the mains plug from the
socket by pulling on the cable.

• Do not use the appliance if:
– the mains lead is damaged,
– the housing shows visible signs of

damage.

• Avoid running over the mains cable
with the appliance. The insulation
could be damaged.

• Repairs to electrical appliances are

only to be performed by qualified
service engineers. Improper repairs
can give rise to significant hazards
for the user.

• In the case of a malfunction, please
therefore contact your dealer or Elec­trolux customer service directly.

• Ensure that a paper filter and a
MICROFILTER are always fitted.

• Leave wet shampooed carpets to dry
completely. Never vacuum liquids with
the vacuum cleaner – otherwise the

2

may be disposed of with household
rubbish. If necessary, wipe out the filter
compartment with a damp cloth.

0 Place the new paper filter on the filter

carrier (Figure 9).

2. MICROFILTER

Please note: The MICROFILTER must

1

also be replaced every fifth paper
filter change (Figure 10) to maintain
optimum suction performance.

By renewing the MICROFILTER in
good time you will ensure good
suction performance and reduce the
amount of time spent vacuuming.

0 Insert the lid into the appliance and

close by pressing it into place
(Figure 11).

Please use original Electrolux paper

1

filters, or paper filters that carry the
Electrolux quality seal. They guarantee
high suction performance and reliabi­lity.

Paper filters can be obtained from
specialist retailers under E No.
900 084 290 or from Electrolux custo­mer service under ET No. 109 990 106.

The guarantee is void in the event of
damage if you use other paper filters.

Every packet of original size 6 Electro­lux paper filters contains 10 paper
filters and 2 MICROFILTERS.

Using the Floor Nozzle

For the daily care of carpets and hard
floors.

The floor nozzle is suitable for univer­sal use in the daily vacuuming of
carpets and hard floor coverings such
as parquet, tiles, linoleum, etc. without
the need to switch the nozzle manu­ally. The four rollers and two large
wheels at the rear make the appliance
easy to manoeuvre. The additional
rotating joint makes your vacuum
cleaner particularly agile.

The rollers ensure that the separation
between the floor and underside of the
nozzle is always constant – this makes
it possible to vacuum hard floors
without problems.

Converting into a Handheld
Appliance / Using the Crevice
Nozzle

The vacuum cleaner is also easy to use
as a handheld appliance.

0 Fold down the handle (Figure 4/C).
0 Remove the floor nozzle (Figure 3) and

fit the crevice nozzle (Figure 6).

rewind button (Figure 2/E).

clip on the upper part of the handle
(Figure 13).

Storage

The appliance can be stored in a

3

manner that saves a considerable
amount of space. Simply fold up the
handle (Figure 4/C). Leave the floor
nozzle fitted to the vacuum cleaner so
that it can stand up on its own
(Figure 14). The crevice nozzle can be
stored on the rear of the appliance
(Figure 15).

2 Protecting the Environment

Do not simply throw packaging mate­rial away.

– The cardboard packaging can be

deposited in the waste paper collec­tion container or the relevant waste
disposal system.

polyethylene (PE) at a PE collection

point for recycling.
