How to Clear a Blockage

Make sure vacuum is turned off and power cord is unplugged.
Hose Blockage
1) Remove hose from hose retainer on the
base. Flexing the hose will loosen any
blockage (fig. 1).
2) Hose connector - twist hose from
connector. Remove blockage and replace
hose. For better access, unclip hose from
sides of vacuum and clear blockage. Clip
back into place and reconnect hose at
both ends (fig. 2).

Thermal Cut-Off

This vacuum has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum in case of motor overheating. If the vacuum
switches off, turn the switch to off position and unplug the vacuum. Check the vacuum for a possible source of
overheating such as a full dust cup, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and
wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the vacuum. After the 30 minute period, plug the vacuum back
in and push the On/Off switch On (1). If the vacuum still does not operate, please call the Electrolux Customer
Helpline 0800 222 825 (Toll Free South Africa Wide).

Service Checklist
• If your vacuum will not operate, check the plug
connection and mains fuse.
• Never allow the dust cup to become so full that
it impedes the airflow, 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 airflow and will reduce cleaning
efficiency if the cup becomes overloaded.
• Always store your vacuum and spare dust filters
in a dry place.
• Renew the filter pads regularly. 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 warranty. Should
a blockage occur, first disconnect the vacuum
from the electricity supply, refer to section headed
" How to Clear a Blockage". If these operations
are not successful, contact Electrolux Customer
Helpline 0800 222 825.
• Never pick up hot cinders or lighted cigarette
ends.
• Make certain that your vacuum does not
come into contact with water or any other
liquid. It is not designed as a wet pick up
vacuum, and must never be used on damp
carpets or wet floors.
Important - in the event of the mains supply cable of
this vacuum requiring replacement, we recommend
that this be carried out by an Authorised Electrolux
Service Agent.
