This guarantee is in addition to your statutory and other legal rights.
BOSS products are carefully designed, manufactured, tested and inspected and in
consequence, we undertake to replace or repair any part found to be defective in mate-
rial or workmanship, within one year of delivery to the original purchaser, free of
charge. You may be required to take the product to your nearest service provider if the
product requries attention during the first year.
There are certain conditions which may invalidate this guarantee:
a. It is dependent upon the appliance being correctly installed and used in accordance
with the Company's instructions under normal domestic conditions within the United
Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland.
b. Service at all times must be carried out by an Electrolux Service Representative or
authorised agent.
c. The guarantee may be invalidated by unauthorised repair or modification of the
appliance.
d. You may be changed by the Electrolux Group if you call for an engineer to resolve
a problem that we believe is covered in the instruction booklet.
The Company does not accept liability for defects arising from neglect, misuse or acci-
dent. This guarantee excludes such normal wearing parts as filters, brushes and dust-
bags as the life of these depends upon the amount and nature of use.
Proof of the date of purchase will be required before service under guarantee is pro-
vided.

Before you start …check the voltage
Before connecting the cleaner to an electrical supply
ensure that voltage marked on the data plate (on the
underside of cleaner) is correct for your electrical sup-
ply. If is not, do not use the cleaner but refer back to
your dealer.
Connecting to your electrical supply
Permanently connected to the cleaner is a mains sup-
ply (2-core) cable fitted with a non-rewirable plug
incorporating a 13A fuse. In the event of the fuse
requiring replacement the fuse cover should be
removed using a small screwdriver. The old fuse
MUST be replaced by a 13AASTA approved BS1362
fuse and the fuse cover must be replaced before the
plus is used again. In the event of loss of the fuse
cover, replacements can be obtained from your
Electrolux dealer or Electricity Board and must be of
the same colour as indicated by the coloured insert on
the base plug.
If difficulty is experienced in obtaining a replacement,
contact your nearest Electrolux Service Centre.
(Please see the separate Electrolux Service
Organisation leaflet).
In no circumstances must the plug be used with-
out a correct fuse cover fitted.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable
for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appro-
priate plug fitted. Remove the fuse from the cut-off
plug. The cut-off plug should then be disposed of to
prevent hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged
into a 13 Amp socket in another part of your home
The wires in the mains cable of this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral.
Browm: Live.
As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, pro-
ceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which marked with the letter N or
coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown
must be connected to the terminal which is marked
the letter L or coloured red.
If using a three-pin plug, do not make any connection
to the terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth
symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow. [This
cleaner is double insulated and no earth-connection is
necessary.]
It is in you interest to ensure that the plug is correctly
attached to the mains cable. In case of doubt, have it
done by a qualified electrician, as Electrolux cannot
regard the repair of faults on the plug connection as a
service that can be given free of charge under the
terms of guarantee.
As a general guide to fitting any plug
• Ensure the lengths of wire inside the plug are pre-
pared correctly.
• Connection should be firmly made after all conduc-
tor stands are entered into the terminal posts.
• When preparing the cable ends take care not to
damage the outer seal, or insulation surrounding the
inner conductors.
• Tighten all screws.
• Replace the top cover of the plug and secure.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
