BEFORE YOU START (continued)
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 qualifi ed 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 dustbag or fi lters 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 fl ammable 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 fi lters, hose assembly, dustbag
chamber or dust cup.
SERVICE
Should you require service on your Electrolux cleaner, please
telephone Electrolux on 08706 055055. Before requesting service,
please check whether your problem is covered under the Service
Checklist (see below).
New fi lter pads, dustbags, brush rollers and drive belts can be
obtained from Electrolux Retailers. If diffi culty is experienced in
obtaining spares, please contact Electrolux on 08706 055055.
SERVICE CHECKLIST
• If your cleaner will not operate, check the plug connection, plug
fuse and mains fuse.
• Never allow the dustbag/Smartbox to become so full that it
impedes the air-fl ow, thus reducing the cleaning effi ciency of the
machine. The character of household dust and its effect on the
air-fl ow through the machine may vary considerably. Fluffy dust
allows air to pass through readily whereas fi ne powdery dust or
proprietary cleaning powders, pack tightly in the dustbag, offering
greater resistance to air-fl ow and will reduce cleaning effi ciency
if the bag becomes overloaded. Always ensure that you have a
spare genuine Electrolux dustbag.
• Always store your cleaner and spare dustbags/fi lters in a dry
place.
• Renew the fi lter pads three or four times a year. This is essential
to ensure continued high fi ltration 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, fi rst disconnect the cleaner from the electricity supply,
to section headed “Blockages”. If these operations are not
successful, contact us on 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 fl oors.
Important - in the event of the mains supply cable of this vacuum
cleaner requiring replacement, we recommend that this be carried
out by Electrolux Service Staff.
Spares
New fi lters, dustbags, brush rollers and drive belts can be obtained
from Authorised Electrolux Dealers and electrical retailers. If diffi culty is
