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.
