• 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
you keep one hand firmly on the appliance.
• Dust bags and filters (depending on model) should be changed at regular intervals as stated in your instruction booklet.
• Always use genuine Electrolux dust bags and filters.
• Do not place the air freshener loose inside the dust bag compartment or cyclonic dust cup.
• Do not use the appliance without a dust bag or with the dust cover removed or dust cup.
• When fitting and changing the accessories always follow the instructions in the instruction booklet.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs undertaken by unauthorised or inexperienced persons
may cause injury and/or serious malfunctioning.
• This appliance should be serviced by authorised Electrolux personnel and only genuine Electrolux spare parts should be used.
• The supply cable fitted to your machine is of two core construction. Where a moulded-on plug is not fitted the leads at the end of the
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.
