Important safeguards 3
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
•
Do not leave vacuum when plugged in.
Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.
• This appliance is not intended for use by any 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.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to an Authorised Electrolux Service Centre before using.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
• Do not run vacuum over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or vacuum with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
• This vacuum creates suction and contains a revolving brushroll. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not place vacuum on furniture or stairs as the brushroll may cause damage. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Place vacuum on floor with the handle in storage position while using attachments.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use without the dustbin or filter(s) in place.
• Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
• Store your vacuum indoors in a cool, dry area.
• Keep your work area well lighted.
• Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
• Unplug before connecting turbo nozzle. Not for use on animals.
PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
The brush in the cleaning head rotates at high speed and can cause damage to the mains supply cable if the vacuum 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 for extended periods could damage the plastic mouldings which form the structure of the vacuum.
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 or any of its filters, hose assembly, dustbag chamber or dustbin.
8 How to maintain your vacuum cleaner
Make sure vacuum cleaner is turned off and power cord is unplugged.
Maintain brush roll
Motor pulley can become hot with normal use.

Thermal Cut-Off
This vacuum has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum in case of motor overheating. If the vacuum switches off, turn the switch to off position and unplug the vacuum. Check the vacuum for a possible source of overheating such as a full dustbin, 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 Helpline.
Service
Should you require service on your Electrolux vacuum, please telephone Electrolux Customer Care HELPLINE on 0800 222 825. Before requesting service, please check whether your problem can be resolved in the Trouble shooting section on page 10.
New filter pads, brush rolls and drive belts can be obtained from Electrolux Retailers. If difficulty is experienced in obtaining spares, please contact Electrolux Customer Care
HELPLINE.
Service Checklist
• If your vacuum will not operate, check the plug connection and mains fuse.
• Never allow the dustbin 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. Fluffy dust allows air to pass through readily whereas fine powdery dust or proprietary cleaning powders pack tightly in the dustbin, 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 regularly. This is essential toensure 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 warranty. Should a blockage occur, first disconnect the vacuum from the electricity supply, refer to section headed “How to Clear a Blockage”. If these operations are not successful, contact Electrolux
Customer Care HELPLINE 0800 222 825.
• 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.
Spares
New filters, brush rolls and drive belts can be obtained from Authorised Electrolux Dealers and electrical retailers.
If difficulty is experienced in obtaining spares please call
