SERVICE CHECKLIST

• 

If

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

• 

Never  allow

  the  dust  cup  to  become  so  full  that  it  impedes  the  air-flow,  thus  reducing  the  cleaning  efficiency  of  the 

machine. The character of household dust and its effect on the air-flow through the machine may vary considerably. Fluffy 

dust  allows  air  to  pass  through  readily  whereas  fine  powdery  dust  or  proprietary  cleaning  powders,  pack  tightly  in  the 

dust cup, offering greater resistance to air-flow and will reduce cleaning efficiency if it becomes overloaded.

• 

Always store

 your cleaner in a dry place.

• 

Renew

 the filter pads three or four times a year. This is essential to ensure continued high filtration 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, first disconnect the cleaner from the 

electricity supply, refer to section headed “Blockages.” If these operations are not successful, contact 

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 floors. 

Important - in the event of the mains supply cable of this vacuum cleaner requiring replacement, we recommend that this 

be carried out by a Electrolux Service Agent.
