How to Check and

Clear Hose Blockages

Low suction or poor pick-up may be due to a blockage in the vacuum cleaner.

Step 1: Remove hose from hose retainer on the base and check suction at end of hose. If little or no suction, check dust cup. Empty if needed. If no improvement, proceed to step 2.

CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before clearing hose.

Step 2: Remove electrical cord from cord hooks. Disconnect the clear tube by unscrewing the 2 screws, then lift away from cleaner. Check for any obstructions that may be in the tube or hose. Obstructions may be removed by using a blunt instrument to clear the tube or hose. Flexing the hose may help loosen the blockage. After clearing blockage, reverse above steps to reassemble unit.

Thermal Cut-Off

This cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner suddenly turns off, follow this procedure:

Step 1: Push on/off switch to off.

Step 2: Unplug cleaner.

Step 3: Check for source of overheating problem (i.e. full dust cup, clogged hose or clogged filters).

Step 4: If a full dust cup, clogged hose or clogged filters are found, empty the dust cup, unclog the hose or replace the filters.

Step 5: Wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to reuse the cleaner.

Step 6: After a 30-minute cool down period, plug the cleaner in and push the switch pedal. The cleaner should turn on.

Step 7: If the cleaner still does not operate, please call Electrolux Customer Care on 08445 614614. Calls to this number will be charged at 5p per minute at all times from a BT Landline.
