SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Thermal cut off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum in case of motor overheating. If the vacuum suddenly shuts off, push
the on/off switch off (0) 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 ( l ). If the vacuum still does not run, then take it to an Electrolux Authorized
Service Center for repair.
