Important Safeguards - Electrolux Z3270 series Owner's Manual

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not leave vacuum when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord when not in
use and before servicing.
• This appliance is not intended for use by any persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Use only as described in the manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged,
left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to an authorised Electrolux Service Centre before using.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges or
corners.
• A hazard may occur if the appliance runs over the supply cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or vacuum with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and
anything that may reduce air flow.
• This vacuum creates suction and contains a revolving brushroll. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not place vacuum on furniture as the brushroll may cause damage. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Place vacuum on floor with handle in storage position while using attachments.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes matches or hot ashes.
• Do not use without the dust cup or filter(s) in place.
• Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing
the drive belt.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be
present.
• Store your vacuum indoors in a cool, dry area.
• Keep your area well lighted.
• Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
• Unplug before connecting Turbo Brush. Not for use on animals.
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 vacuum passes over it during operations.
Care should be taken to ensure that this does not happen. If the cleaning head is 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 Authorised Electrolux Service Agent.
4. NEVER use the machine with a damaged mains supply cable.
