IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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 fitted 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.
If difficulty is experienced in obtaining a replacement, contact Electrolux Customer Services on 08706 055055.
In no circumstances must the plug be used without a correct fuse cover fitted.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. 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 qualified 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
Proprietary carpet conditioning and air freshening materials | | |
After using proprietary carpet conditioning powders, it is recommended that the | | Blue |
filters be changed. Some of these preparations contain substances which if left in the | Fuse |
vacuum cleaner for extended periods could damage the plastic mouldings which form | | Cord |
the structure of the cleaner. | | |
Many air fresheners, household deodorants, sprays and polishes contain a highly flammable 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 filters, 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, turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a full dust cup or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 60 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 60 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and push the on/off switch On (I). If the cleaner still does not run, please call Electrolux Customer Care.

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 airflow, thus reducing the cleaning efficiency of the machine. The character of household dust and its effect on the airflow through the machine may vary considerably. Fluffy dust allows air to pass through readily whereas fine powdery dust or proprietary cleaning powders, pack tightly in the dust cup, offering greater resistance to airflow and will reduce cleaning efficiency if the cup becomes overloaded.
•Always store your cleaner and spare dust filters in a dry place.
• Renew the filter pads three or four times a year. This is essential to ensure continued high filtration 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, first disconnect the cleaner from the electricity supply, refer to section headed “Problem Solving”. If these operations are not successful, contact Electrolux on 08706 055055.
•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 floors.
Important - If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by a Electrolux Service Agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
