User manual ELECTROLUX 70

[. . . ] · Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity. · Turn off all controls before unplugging. · Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. [. . . ] 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. Examine the mains supply cable for damage (only after removing the plug from the socket outlet). 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 qualified person. 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 filters 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 flammable 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 filters, hose assembly, dustbag chamber or dust cup. Thermal Cut Off This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner switches off, push the switch to "Off" and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner 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 cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and turn on the switch. If the cleaner still does not run, please call Electrolux on 08445 614614. Calls to this number will be charged at 5p per minute at all times from a BT Landline. 3 SERVICE Should you require service on your Electrolux cleaner, please telephone Electrolux Helpline on 08445 614614. Calls to this number will be charged at 5p per minute at all times from a BT Landline. Before requesting service, please check whether your problem is covered under Service Checklist (see below). Electrolux will arrange the uplift of the product for repair should no local service agent be available. New filters can be obtained from Electrolux Retailers. SERVICE CHECKLIST · If your cleaner will not operate, check the plug connection, plug fuse and mains fuse. · Never allow the dust cup to become so full that it impedes the air-flow, 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. [. . . ] Put bottom edge of dust cup in cleaner as shown above and rotate down against cleaner firmly. Dust cup latch will automatically lock. HOW TO MAINTAIN (Continued) Brush Roll The brush roll turns to agitate, sweep and comb the carpet nap. Check the brush roll regularly to be sure it is in top condition. Cut away any hair or thread wound around the brush roll because the build-up could cause the brush roll to rotate unevenly. Questions? [. . . ]
