SERVICE

Should you require service on your Electrolux cleaner, please telephone Electrolux on 08706 055055. Before requesting 
service, please check whether your problem is covered under Service Checklist (see below).

New fi lter pads, dust bags, brush rollers and drive belts can be obtained from Electrolux Retailers. If diffi culty is experienced 
in obtaining spares, please contact Electrolux on 08706 055055.

SERVICE CHECKLIST

• 

If

 your cleaner will not operate, check the plug connection, plug fuse and mains fuse.

• 

Never allow

 the dust bag to become so full that it impedes the air-fl ow, thus reducing the cleaning effi ciency of the 

machine. The character of household dust and its effect on the air-fl ow through the machine may vary considerably. 
Fluffy dust allows air to pass through readily whereas fi ne powdery dust or proprietary cleaning powders, pack tightly in 
the dust bag, offering greater resistance to air-fl ow and will reduce cleaning effi ciency if the bag becomes overloaded. 
Always ensure that you have a spare genuine Electrolux dust bag.

• 

Always store

 your cleaner and spare dust bags/fi lters in a dry place.

• 

Renew

 the fi lter pads three or four times a year. This is essential to ensure continued high fi ltration of dust particles.

• 

Sucking up

 such items as stockings, clippings of cloth, sizeable pieces of paper, wrappings from cigarette packets 

or sweets etc., may block the hose. 

Electrolux regrets that the clearing of blocked hoses cannot be regarded 

as service that can be given free of charge, under the guarantee.

 Should a blockage occur, fi rst disconnect the 

cleaner from the electricity supply, refer to section headed “Blockages”. If these operations are not successful, contact 
us on 08706 055055.

• 

Never

 pick up hot cinders or lighted cigarette ends.

• 

Make certain

 

that your cleaner does not come into contact with water or any other liquid. It is not designed 

as a wet pick up cleaner, and must never be used on damp carpets or wet fl oors. 

Important - in the event of the mains supply cable of this vacuum cleaner requiring replacement, we recommend that 
this be carried out by Electrolux Service Staff.

Spares

New fi lters, dust bags, brush rollers and drive belts can be obtained from Authorised Electrolux Dealers and electrical retailers. 
If diffi culty is experienced in obtaining spares please call us on 08706  055055.
