Manual

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.

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

The brush in the cleaning head rotates at high speed and can cause damage to the mains supply cable if the cleaner passes

over it during cleaning operations.

Care should be taken to ensure that this does not happen. If the cleaning head has accidentally passed over the mains supply cable

the following action should be taken:

1. Switch off and remove the plug from the socket outlet.

2. Examine the mains supply cable for damage (only after removing the plug from the socket outlet).

3. If there is any sign of damage to the supply cable it MUST be renewed. The repair MUST be carried out by an Electrolux Service

Agent or a similar qualiﬁed person.

4. NEVER use the machine with a damaged mains supply cable.

Proprietary carpet conditioning and air freshening materials

After using proprietary carpet conditioning powders, it is recommended that the ﬁlters be changed. Some of these preparations contain

substances which if left in the vacuum cleaner for extended periods could damage the plastic mouldings which form 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 manufacturerʼs

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 suddenly shuts off,

push the on/off switch off (0) and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a full dustbag, a

blocked hose 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 (l). If the cleaner still does not run, please call Electrolux

Customer Care on 08706 055055.

The hose of my vacuum cleaner is clogged, what can I do? Verified

Detach the hose and look through it to determine if it is actually clogged. If this is the case, you can take a long object such as a broomstick and carefully push it through the hose. This will generally remove any objects that are clogging the hose. If this didn't help you should contact the manufacturer.

I want to know the age of my Electrolux appliance. How do I do that? Verified

You can determine the age of your product by using the serial number. This can be found on your device. The first character of the serial number indicates a year (ie: 1 = 2001) and the two characters after that indicate the week of production (ie: 35 = week 35 of that year). So the serial number 13500016 indicates that the machine is from week 35 of the year 2001.

If this does not solve the problem, it is possible the mechanism to rewind the cord is broken. In that case, contact the manufacturer or a repair service.

Can I use a regular vacuum cleaner to suck up ash? Verified

No, this is absolutely not possible. Ash that seems cooled may still be warm or even hot inside. A regular vacuum cleaner is not designed for this and it can cause a fire. Also, the filters of regular vacuum cleaners are not always suited for retaining extremely small particles such as ash. It can then reach the motor of the vacuum cleaner and cause damage.
