IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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 cleaner when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug

the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.

•Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or

near children.

•Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended

attachments.

•Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it

should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it

to a service center before using.

•Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord, or pull cord

around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner 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 cleaner 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 airflow.

•This vacuum cleaner creates suction and contains a revolving brush roll. Keep

hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving

parts.

•Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or

hot ashes.

•Do not use without motor filter in place.

•Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

•Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in

areas where they may be present.

•Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.

•Keep your work area well lighted.

•Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.

BEFORE YOU START

CHECK THE VOLTAGE

First check the voltage shown on the data plate (see rear view) to make sure that 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.

Intheeventoflossofthefusecover,replacementscanbe obtained from your Electrolux

retailer and must be of the same colour as indicated by the coloured insert on the base

of the plug.

Ifdifficultyisexperiencedinobtainingareplacement,contactanElectroluxServiceAgent

or phone 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, have it done by a qualified electrician, as Electrolux cannot regard the

repairof faults ontheplugconnection as aservicethatcanbe givenfreeofchargeunder

the terms of the guarantee.

HOW TO MAINTAIN

The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. Keep the

vacuum cleaner at top operating efficiency. Clean the filter and empty the dust container

regularly. If the dust container is visibly full before finished cleaning, empty as needed.

Adamaged or extremely soiled motor filter should be replaced. Pull back on the rubber

gasket to remove the used motor filter from the filter support frame. Keep the frame and

discard the used motor filter. Put the new filter over the frame and secure the lip of the

frame into the rubber gasket.

Additional filters are available from the Electrolux Customer Care line, 08706 055055.

Press the dust container latch, located

below the electrical cord, and rotate the

dust container off the unit. Grasp the

motor filter and pull up to remove.

Shake dust container contents into a

suitable container. Brush dust and dirt

from motor filter. If further cleaning is

desired, hand launder the washable

motor filter in warm water using a mild

detergent. Air dry thoroughly before

returning it to the dust container.

Replace motor filter into top of dust

container so rim of filter is seated

completelyinsidethecontainer. Place the

dustcontainer tab into theslotin the unit.

Pivot the sections together until the dust

container latch locks the container in

place.

performance even before the dust container appears full. For that reason, when

vacuumingcarpetfreshenersorcleaners,powder, plaster dust, or similarfinesubstances,

the dust container and filter may need cleaning more often.

Brush Roll

The rotating brush roll sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Keep the brush roll free from

hair and threads so it will continue to be effective.

NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before cleaning the

brush roll.

Brush Roll Belt

The brush roll belt drives the brush to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. Even

though the belt may not need to be changed often, it should be checked regularly to be

sure it is in good condition. Replace the belt if it is stretching, cracking, or slipping. Cut

away any hair or thread wound around the brush roll or the belt pulley because the

buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.

NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before replacing belt.

Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent injury, avoid

touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.
