BEFORE YOU START

CHECK THE VOLTAGE

First  check  the  voltage  shown  on  the  data  plate  (see  rear  view)  to  make  sure  that  the  cleaner  is  of  the  correct  voltage  for  your 
electricity supply. If it is not, do not use the cleaner but refer back to your dealer.

CONNECTING TO YOUR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

Permanently connected to the cleaner is a mains supply (2-core) cable fitted with a non-rewirable plug incorporating a 13A fuse. 

In the event of the fuse requiring replacement the fuse cover should be removed using a small screwdriver. The old fuse 

MUST

 be 

replaced by a 13A ASTA approved BS1362 fuse or a BSI approved fuse.  The cover must be replaced before the plug is used again. 

In the event of loss of the fuse cover, replacements can be obtained from your Electrolux Retailers and must be of the same colour 

as indicated by the coloured insert on the base of the plug. 

If difficulty is experienced in obtaining a replacement, contact Electrolux on 08706 055055.

In no circumstances must the plug be used without a correct fuse cover fitted.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.

The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13 amp socket in 

another part of your home.

The wires in the mains cable of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

   Blue: Neutral.  Brown: Live.

As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals 

in your plug, proceed as follows: 

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

If using a three-pin plug, do not make any connection to the terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green 

or green-and-yellow. This cleaner is double insulated and no earth connection is necessary.

It  is  in  your  interest  to  ensure  that  the  plug  is  correctly  attached  to  the  mains  cable.  In  case  of  doubt,  have  it  done  by  a  qualified 

electrician, as Electrolux cannot regard the repair of faults on the plug connection as a service that can be given free of charge under 

the terms of the guarantee.

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 qualified person.

4.

 

NEVER

 use the machine with a damaged mains supply cable.

Proprietary carpet conditioning and air freshening materials 

After  using  proprietary  carpet  conditioning  powders,  it  is  recommended  that  the  dust  cup  or  filters  be  changed.  Some  of  these 

preparations contain substances 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 flammable gas propellant.

Because  of  this,  it  is  particularly  important  that  these  products  are  used  strictly  in  accordance  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 filters, hose assembly, dust 

cup chamber or dust cup.

This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner suddenly shuts off, push the 
switch pedal once and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a full bag, a blocked hose or clogged 
filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the 
cleaner back in and turn on the switch. If the cleaner still does not run, please call Electrolux on 08706 055055.
