Dust bag indicator and changing the dust bag
For peak performance the dust bag must be changed
when full. If the dust bag should accidentally get
broken in the cleaner, take cleaner to an Electrolux
Service Centre for cleaning.
The dust bag indicator window will gradually turn red
when filling and completely red when full.
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 Release catch and swing back lid before removing
the dust bag, bend the tab into the hole to prevent
dust escaping.
B Remove the dust bag.
C Insert new dust bag by fitting the bag slots over
holders.
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 the filter
Note: Use only Electrolux original dust bags and
filters (ref E44)
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 the filters
These should be changed every fifth dust bag. Never
use the cleaner without the motor protection filter.
To change filters:
a) Lift lid, remove dust bag and filter.
b) Insert new filter, replace dust bag and close.
Mondo also have exhaust filters.
To change it:
a) Lift rear grill and remove filter.
b) Insert new filter and replace grill.
Troubleshooting
1. Power: If the electric power does not come on,
disconnect from mains and check plugs, cable and
fuses where appropriate.
2. Blockages/dirty filters: The cleaner may switch
itself off in the event of a severe blockage or
excessively dirty filter(s). In such cases, disconnect
from mains and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
Clear blockage and/or replace filter(s) and restart.
If the safety valve triggers repeatedly during normal
use, check and remedy any blockage in the hose,
tubes, nozzle or filters.
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.
3. Water: If water is sucked into the cleaner the motor
must be changed at an Electrolux Service Centre.
