  Do not carry or drag your vacuum cleaner by the mains supply cable.

  Do not tug at the mains supply cable to remove the plug from the wall socket.

  Ensure the mains supply cable is kept well away from the rotating brushes (where fitted) of your appliance whilst in operation.

  Keep the mains supply cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and rough surfaces. Always ensure that the cable is not damaged in any way.

  Never pick up hot cinders or lighted cigarette ends.

  Extreme care is required when cleaning stair carpets with your appliance. Ensure that your cleaner is in a stable position at the bottom of 

the stairs, and take care not to stretch the hose beyond its actual length. Always ensure when using your cleaner on the stair treads that

  This appliance should be serviced by authorised Electrolux personnel and only genuine Electrolux spare parts should be used.

cable are not prepared for a specific type of plug.

As a general guide to fitting any plug
• 

Ensure the lengths of wire inside the plug are prepared correctly.

  Connections should be firmly made after all conductor strands are entered into the terminal posts.

  When preparing the cable ends take care not to damage the outer sheath, or the insulation surrounding the inner conductors.

  Tighten all screws.

  Replace the top cover of the plug and secure.

Extension Cable
• If using an extension cable at any time always ensure that the insulation sheath is in good condition and is not damaged in any way.
• Make sure that the socket is fitted to the extension cable correctly, if in doubt have it checked by a Qualified electrician.
Double Insulation

•  Your vacuum cleaner is double insulated. This means that all external parts are electrically insulated from the mains. This is 

done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical and mechanical components, making it unnecessary for the cleaner 
to be earthed.
