Thermal Cut-Off
This vacuum has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum in case of motor overheating. If the vacuum switches off, push the switch pedal once and unplug the vacuum. Check the vacuum for a possible source of overheating such as a full dust cup, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait
at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the vacuum. After the 30 minute period, plug the vacuum back in and push the on/off switch On ( I ). If the vacuum still does not run, please call Electrolux Customer Care.

Service Checklist
•If your vacuum 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 air flow, thus reducing the cleaning efficiency of the machine. The character of household dust and its effect on the air flow through the machine may vary considerably. Fluffydust allows air to pass through readily whereas fine powdery dust or proprietary cleaning powders pack tightly in the dust cup, offering greater resistance to air flow and will reduce cleaning efficiency if the cup becomes overloaded.
•Always store your vacuum 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 vacuum from the electricity supply, refer to section headed “How to Clear a Blochkage.” If these operations are not successful, contact Electrolux Customer HELPLINE 08445 614614. Calls to this number will be charged at 5p per minute at all times from a BT Landline.
•Never pick up hot cinders or lighted cigarette ends.
•Make certain that your vacuum does not come into contact with water or any other liquid. It is not designed as a wet pick up vacuum, and must never be used on damp carpets or wet floors.
Important – in the event of the mains supply cable of this vacuum requiring replacement, we recommend that this be carried out by Electrolux Service Staff.
