SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Use the unit for its intended purposes only.
Using it for any other purposes is prohibit-
ed. Improper operation, abuse, or failure to
observe these safety precautions will re-
lieve us of all liability and void its warranty.
• Connect the unit to a 240 V electrical outlet
protected by at least a 13-Amp. fuse or circuit
breaker. Refrain from using any multi-socket
taps or adapter plugs.
• Never touch any voltage-carrying components,
as they could be dangerous.
• Never touch or use the unit while your hands
are wet.
• Do not use the unit if its cable is damaged,
exhibits any visible damage, or is not in proper
working order, since that could result in elec-
tric-shock hazards.
• If the unit has become so severely damaged
that electrical components are exposed,
immediately disconnect it from the electrical
outlet and contact Customer Service on
08706 - 055 055.
• Keep its nozzle and the free end of its suction
hose well away from your face and others’
faces, otherwise you might injure your/their
eyes and/or ears.
• Never use the unit to vacuum up any toxic
substances, aggressive liquids, or any solu-
tions containing solvents.
• Never operate the unit in rooms used for stor-
ing inflammable liquids or where gases or
vapours might have accumulated or formed.
Some substances, such as gasoline, paint
thinners, or heating oil may form explosive
vapours or mixtures if they become admixed
with inducted air, which could lead to fires or
explosions.
• Never use the unit to vacuum up hot ashes or
glowing objects.
• Never insert any foreign objects into the unit’s
induction or exhaust ports.
• Never leave the unit unattended while it is run-
ning and never allow children to play with it.
• Make certain that the electrical outlet where
the unit is plugged in is readily accessible at
all times while the unit is running in order that
it may be immediately unplugged in the event
of an emergency.
• Be extremely careful when vacuuming stair-
cases. Position the unit such that it cannot fall
or tip over. Never overstretch its suction hose.
Hold onto its carrying handle at all times so
that it cannot fall downstairs or tip over.
• Immediately unplug the unit if it malfunctions
during operation and before undertaking
cleaning or maintenance operations or replac-
ing its filter.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on its cable.
• Keep the unit well isolated from sources of
heat or heaters or furnaces that might become
hot.
• Avoid using extension cords in wet or damp
areas.
• Never attempt to repair any damage to your
Electrolux JANITOR or any of its accessories
or to repair or replace its cable (a cable cord is
required) yourself. All such work should per-
formed by an authorized customer service
engineer only, since improper repairs or modi-
fications to the unit might cause health haz-
ards.
