or in your workshop, cellar or garage. Take good
care of it and use it properly and it will give you
many years of service.
Please read this instruction manual carefully,
since it contains instructions on the safe, proper
use of the product.
This instruction manual is a part of the product
and should be kept handy at all times. If the
product involved should change hands, make
certain that its new owner receives this instruction manual.
Using the Unit
Your Electrolux JANITOR is a multi-purpose vacuum cleaner suitable for use in your home,
hobby room, cellar, workshop, garage, or yard,
wherever there is dirt or debris that needs to be
cleaned up.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Use the unit for its intended purposes only.
Using it for any other purposes is prohibited. Improper operation, abuse, or failure to
observe these safety precautions will relieve us of all liability and void its warranty.
• Connect the unit to a 240 V electrical outlet
protected by at least a 13-Amp. fuse or circuit
breaker. Refrain from using any multi-socket
taps or adapter plugs.
• Never touch any voltage-carrying components,
as they could be dangerous.
• Never touch or use the unit while your hands
are wet.
• Do not use the unit if its cable is damaged,
exhibits any visible damage, or is not in proper
working order, since that could result in electric-shock hazards.
• If the unit has become so severely damaged
that electrical components are exposed,
immediately disconnect it from the electrical
outlet and contact Customer Service on
08706 - 055 055.
• Keep its nozzle and the free end of its suction
hose well away from your face and others’
faces, otherwise you might injure your/their
eyes and/or ears.
• Never use the unit to vacuum up any toxic
substances, aggressive liquids, or any solutions containing solvents.
• Never operate the unit in rooms used for storing inflammable liquids or where gases or
vapours might have accumulated or formed.
Some substances, such as gasoline, paint
thinners, or heating oil may form explosive
vapours or mixtures if they become admixed
with inducted air, which could lead to fires or
explosions.
• Never use the unit to vacuum up hot ashes or
glowing objects.
• Never insert any foreign objects into the unit’s
induction or exhaust ports.
• Never leave the unit unattended while it is running and never allow children to play with it.
• Make certain that the electrical outlet where
the unit is plugged in is readily accessible at
all times while the unit is running in order that
it may be immediately unplugged in the event
of an emergency.
• Be extremely careful when vacuuming staircases. Position the unit such that it cannot fall
or tip over. Never overstretch its suction hose.
Hold onto its carrying handle at all times so
that it cannot fall downstairs or tip over.
• Immediately unplug the unit if it malfunctions
during operation and before undertaking
cleaning or maintenance operations or replacing its filter.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on its cable.
• Keep the unit well isolated from sources of
heat or heaters or furnaces that might become
hot.
• Avoid using extension cords in wet or damp
areas.
• Never attempt to repair any damage to your
Electrolux JANITOR or any of its accessories
or to repair or replace its cable (a cable cord is
required) yourself. All such work should performed by an authorized customer service
engineer only, since improper repairs or modifications to the unit might cause health hazards.

Unpacking the Unit
• Unpack the unit and check that all items that
should be included are present. Immediately
notify your dealer or our Customer Service
department if you find any damage or if any

it to return the unit to your dealer or an
Electrolux Customer Service engineer for servicing.

Cleaning the cartridge filter (13)

You can clean it by simply brushing off the dust,
whilst holding it at its handle over a garbage bin.
If necessary, you can also clean it under a light

fully dried before being used again.

Cleaning the Unit

Troubleshooting
If your unit is inoperative or malfunctioning,
there may be no need to consult our Customer
Service department, since many common
problems can be solved on the spot using the
following troubleshooting procedures:
If ther
e is dust coming out of the unit while
vacuuming:
• Are the paper dustbag, and filter cartridge
correctly installed, tightly seated, and intact?
• Are you using an original filter?
If the unit gradually loses suction power:
• Is the tank full?
• Is the paper dustbag full?
• Are the suction hose or suction tubes clogged
with dirt or blocked by foreign objects? If so,
switch off the unit, remove the suction hose
and tubes, and clean them out. Stretching the
suction hose a bit should help dislodge any
dirt or foreign objects that may have become
trapped in the hose.
If the motor fails to run:
Unplug the unit before proceeding.
Never open the motor yourself.
• Are the cable, plug, and electrical outlet OK?

Customer Service department on
