SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This appliance is not intended for use by 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 the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
The vacuum cleaner features double insulation and does not need to be earthed.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Never vacuum :
• In wet areas.
• Close to flammable gases, etc.
• Without a dust container / dustbag (this may damage the cleaner). A safety

• Sharp objects.
• Fluids (this can cause serious damage to the machine).
• Hot or cold cinders, lit cigarette butts, etc.
• Fine dust from plaster, concrete, or ash, for example.
The above can cause serious damage to the motor – damage which is not
covered by the warranty.
Electrical cable precautions:
• Regularly check that the cable is not damaged. Never use the vacuum cleaner if
the cable is damaged.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, it’s
service agent or similary qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Damage to
the cleaner cable will not be covered by the warranty.
• Never pull or lift the vacuum cleaner by the cable.

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
supply. If is not, do not
use the cleaner but refer
back to your dealer.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting to your electrical supply
Permanently connected to the cleaner is a mains supply (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 13A ASTA 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 without
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 appropriate 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.
Brown: 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, proceed 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 your 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 prepared correctly.
• Connection should be firmly made after all conductor 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.
