Dust bag indicator and changing the dust bag
The dust bag should be changed when full. The dust bag
indicator window will light up when full. If the dust bag should
accidentally get broken in the cleaner, take cleaner to
Electrolux Service Centre for cleaning.
To check the dust bag, the cleaner must be switched on,
with all attachments connected and off the floor.
The dust bag full indicator may signify that the bag is blocked
(occasionally caused by very fine dust) which will cause loss of
suction and may result in overheating. If this occurs change
the dust bag even if it is not full.
To change the dust bag:
A) Open the cleaner cover.
B) Pull the sliding tab to remove the dust bag.
C) Insert new dust bag by sliding the bag slots into the holder.
Close cover.
We recommend the dust bag is changed:
* after using a carpet cleaning powder
* if there is a bad smell from the cleaner, then you should also
change/clean the filter
Note: Use only Electrolux original dust bags (ref.E54A)
and filters:
Washable, reusable HEPA filter (ref. EF25a)
Dust bag safety device
To avoid damaging the cleaner, do not use it without a dust
bag. A safety device is fitted which prevents the cover closing
without a dust bag. Do not attempt to force cover shut.
Changing/Cleaning the filters
Never use the cleaner without the filters in place. The Motor
Protection filter should be changed twice a year for normal usage.
To change Motor Protection filter:
D) Open the cleaner cover.
E) Remove filter and covering strip.
F) Important: Insert new filter with original covering strip
securely in place. Close cover.
The HEPA filter should be cleaned when indicator light is on.
To clean the HEPA filter:
G) Open the filter cover and remove filter unit.
H) Rinse the inside (dirty side) of the filter unit under warm tap
water only. Do not use cleaning agents and avoid
touching the delicate filter surface. Tap the filter frame
to remove excess water. Repeat cleaning procedure four
times and allow the filter to air dry. The original filtering
performance is now restored. Replace the unit back into the
cleaner and close cover ensuring it is properly fastened.
Troubleshooting
1. Power: If the electric power does not come on, disconnect
from mains and check plugs, cable and fuses where appropriate.
2. Blockage/dirty filters: The cleaner may switch itself off in
event of severe blockage or excessively dirty filters (overheat
indicator will flash). In such cases, disconnect from mains and
allow to cool for 30 minutes. Clear blockage and/or replace
filter(s) and restart.
The clearing of blocked hoses is not covered by the guarantee.
To avoid blockages and maintain suction efficiency, the floor
nozzles should be cleaned regularly using the hose handle.
Please see additional Electrolux information towards the back
of this booklet.
3. Water: If water is sucked into the cleaner the motor must be
changed at an Electrolux Service Centre.
4. Batteries: Change the batteries in the Remote control
handle when flat. We recommend alkaline batteries. NB Do not
throw the batteries among other rubbish. Put them in a special
recycling container.
