IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
(THIS APPLIANCE)
When using an electrical appliance basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following.
Before connecting the cleaner to an electrical supply
outlet, ensure that the voltage marked on the rating
plate (on the underside of the cleaner) is correct for
your electrical supply. If it does not comply, do not
use the cleaner prior to contacting the manufacturer.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:
1. Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
servicing.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use
outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufactures recommended attachments.
5. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If
vacuum cleaner is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped in water, take it to a ser vice centre
before using.
6. Do not pull or carry on cord or use as a handle.
Do not close door on cord, or pull around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum
cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
8. Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with
wet hands.
9. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
10. Turn all controls off before unplugging.
11. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible
liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where
they may be present.
12. Do not pick up anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches,
or hot ashes.
13. Do not use without dust container and/or filter
in place.
14. Do not use extension cords or outlets with
inadequate current carrying capacity.
15. We recommend you do not use your vacuum on
carpet cleaning foams, sharp or heavy building
materials or plaster dust. They could damage
or clog the filters and cause failures to other key
parts in your vacuum cleaner and render your
warranty invalid.
16. Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.
17. Unplug electrical appliances before
vacuuming them.
18. Please remove the plug from the socket outlet
before cleaning or maintaining this appliance.
ELECTRICAL CABLE PRECAUTIONS
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Damage to the cleaner cable will not be covered by
th e w arra nty.
• Never pull or lift the vacuum cleaner by the cable.
• Disconnect the plug from the wall socket before
cleaning or maintaining the vacuum cleaner.
• Regularly check that the cable is not damaged.
Never use the vacuum cleaner if the cable is
damaged. All service and repairs must be carried
out by an authorised Electrolux service centre.
Always keep the vacuum cleaner in a dry place.
SERVICE & REPAIR
It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify
the product in any way. Under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the cleaner yourself.
NEVER VACUUM
• In wet areas.
• Close to flammable gases, combustible
substances, etc.
• Without a cartridge filter (this maydamage the
cleaner) and without the dust container. A safety
device is fitted which prevents the cover to close
without the filter. Do not attempt to force to
close the cover.
• Sharp objects.
• Fluids (this can cause serious damage to the
machine).
• Hot or cold cinders, lit cigarette butts, etc.
• Fine dust from plaster, concrete, or ash, for
example. The above can cause serious damage to
the motor – damage which is not covered by the
warranty. Products in aerosol may be flammable.
Do not spray these products on or near the
vacuum cleaner.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Your vacuum cleaner is double insulated. This means
that all external parts are electrically insulated from
the mains. This is done by placing insulation barriers
between the electrical and mechanical components,
making it unnecessary for the cleaner to be earthed.
WARNING: On collection of proprietary carpet
conditioning powder, it is recommended that the
dust container is emptied and the cartridge filter is
cleaned after each use. Some of the preparations
contain substances which if left in the vacuum
cleaner for extended periods, could cause damage.
Many air fresheners, household deodorants,
sprays and polishes contain highly inflammable
gas propellants, because of this it is particularly
important that these products are used strictly in
accordance with the relevant
manufacturers instructions, it is essential that none
of the above products are sprayed directly into the
vacuum cleaner or any of the filters, hose assembly
or dust chamber.
