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.

SERVICE
Should you require service on your Electrolux cleaner, please telephone Electrolux Helpline on 08445 614614. Calls to this
number will be charged at 5p per minute at all times from a BT Landline. Before requesting service, please check whether your
problem is covered under Service Checklist (see below). Electrolux will arrange the uplift of the product for repair should no local
service agent be available.
New lters can be obtained from Electrolux Retailers.
SERVICE CHECKLIST
• If your cleaner will not operate, check the plug connection, plug fuse and mains fuse.
• Never allow the dust cup to become so full that it impedes the air-ow, thus reducing the cleaning efciency of the machine.
The character of household dust and its effect on the air-ow through the machine may vary considerably. Fluffy dust allows
air to pass through readily whereas ne powdery dust or proprietary cleaning powders, pack tightly in the dust cup, offering
greater resistance to air-ow and will reduce cleaning efciency if the cup becomes overloaded.
• Always store your cleaner and spare dust lters in a dry place.
• Renew the lter pads three or four times a year. This is essential to ensure continued high ltration of dust particles.
• Sucking up such items as stockings, clippings of cloth, sizeable pieces of paper, wrappings from cigarette packets or sweets
etc., may block the hose. Electrolux regrets that the clearing of blocked hoses cannot be regarded as service that can be
given free of charge, under the guarantee. Should a blockage occur, rst disconnect the cleaner from the electricity supply,
refer to section headed “Blockages”. If these operations are not successful, contact Electrolux Helpline for assistance.
• 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 oors.
Important - in the event of the mains supply cable of this vacuum cleaner requiring replacement, we recommend that this be
carried out by Electrolux Service Staff.
Spares
New lters can be obtained from Authorised Electrolux Dealers and electrical retailers.

Cleaning Accessories
CAUTION: Moving brush roll, power switch should

1
Pull the hose from hose adaptor on cleaner.
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to
routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls,
check the hose, dust cup and dust cup lter often. Clear a
clogged hose, empty the dust cup if it is full, and clean the
dust cup lter when it is dirty.
CAUTION: Turn off the power switch and unplug the
electrical cord before emptying the dust cup
or cleaning the dust cup lter.
CAUTION: Do not use the cleaner without the dust cup
lter properly installed. This can damage the

Hint: Some ne particles can restrict airow very quickly
and will decrease performance even before the
dust container appears full. For that reason, when
vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder,
plaster dust or similar ne substances, the dust
cup and lter may need cleaning more often.

HOW TO MAINTAIN (Continued)
Brush Roll
The brush roll turns to agitate, sweep and comb the carpet
nap. Check the brush roll regularly to be sure it is in top
condition. Cut away any hair or thread wound around the
brush roll because the build-up could cause the brush roll to
rotate unevenly.
