GENERAL
TROUBLE SHOOTING
No Power: If your vacuum cleaner does not
operate check the following:
• The plug connection.
• The electrical wall socket is
switched on.
Loss of suction: If your vacuum cleaner
looses suction power, check the following:
• Hose (7) and other accessories in use
are not blocked.
• The filters are clean.
Should the above mentioned checks not
solve the problem, please contact your
nearest Authorised Electrolux Service
Centre for advice.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
The motor is fitted with a thermal cut-out
switch which will automatically switch your
vacuum cleaner off if it starts to overheat. If
this does happen do the following:
• Switch the vacuum cleaner off at the
on/off switch (5) and unplug the mains
supply cable.
• Now leave your vacuum cleaner to cool
down for approximately 40 minutes.
• During this time check if the hose (7),
accessories, air inlet channel (see fig. 12)
and filters are perhaps blocked as this
could have caused the machine to
overheat.
• Once your vacuum cleaner has cooled
down, it will start again. If it does not
restart, contact your nearest Electrolux
Service Center
NOTE: If you wish to use your vacuum
cleaner while the cartridge filter (15) is
drying, you may use the extra cartridge
