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 cleaner 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 qualifi ed person.
4.
NEVER
use the machine with a damaged mains supply cable.
Proprietary carpet conditioning and air freshening ma te ri als
After using proprietary carpet conditioning powders, it is recommended that the fi lters be changed. Some of these preparations contain
sub stanc es which if left in the vacuum cleaner for extended periods could damage the plastic mouldings which form the structure of
the cleaner.
Many air fresheners, household deodorants, sprays and polishes contain a highly fl am ma ble gas propellant.
Because of this, it is particularly important that these products are used strictly in ac cord ance with the relevant manufacturer’s
instructions.
It is essential that none of the above products are sprayed directly into the vacuum cleaner or any of its fi lters, hose assembly, dustbag
chamber or dust cup.
Thermal Cut Off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner switches off, push the
switch pedal once and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a full dust cup, a blocked hose or
clogged fi lter. If these conditions are found, fi x them and wait at least 60 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 60 minute
period, plug the cleaner back in and push the on/off switch On (I). If the cleaner still does not run, please call Electrolux Customer Care.
