BEFORE YOU START
CHECK THE VOLTAGE
Before connecting the cleaner to an electrical supply, ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate located beneath 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 tted 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.
In no circumstances must the plug be used without a correct fuse cover tted.
If the plug that is tted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug tted.
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, consult a qualied 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
The brush in the cleaning head rotates at high speed and can cause damage to the mains supply cable if the cleaner 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 qualied person.
4. NEVER use the machine with a damaged mains supply cable.
Proprietary carpet conditioning and air freshening materials
After using proprietary carpet conditioning powders, it is recommended that the lters 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 ammable gas propellant.
Because of this, it is particularly important 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 or any of its lters, hose assembly, dustbag
chamber or dust cup.
Thermal Cut Off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner switches off, push
the switch to “Off” and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a full dust cup, a blocked hose
or clogged lter. If these conditions are found, x them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30
minute period, plug the cleaner back in and turn on the switch. If the cleaner still does not run, please call Electrolux on 08445 614614.
Calls to this number will be charged at 5p per minute at all times from a BT Landline.
