Quick Guide & Assembly

Quick Guide

When taking the product out of its packaging, check for damages.

Vacuum Cleaner Assembling

Always remove the plug from the power supply before fitting or removing accessories. Before putting the appliance into service, please check if all filters are inserted correctly.

Connecting the Vacuum Cleaner

Fitting or removing the flexible hose to the air inlet (A):

• Fit the flexible hose into the air inlet. Turn the hose grip clockwise until it clicks into position.
• To release, first remove the plug from the power socket. Detach the flexible hose firmly from the air intake duct by turning anti-clockwise.

Fitting or removing the flexible hose to the air outlet (B):

• Remove the exhaust grille and the filter.
• Fit the flexible hose into the air outlet. Turn the hose grip clockwise until it clicks into position.
• To release, first remove the plug from the power socket. Detach the flexible hose firmly from the air outlet duct by turning anti-clockwise.

Fitting the Extension Tubes and Accessories

Diagram Description: Shows how to attach an extension tube to the handle and then attach a cleaning tool (like a brush) to the extension tube.

Operating Procedure

Using Specific Nozzles

• Floor Brush: Ideal for daily cleaning on carpets and hard floors. Use for cleaning hard floors and carpets.
• Crevice Nozzle: For cleaning corners, between cushions, or difficult-to-reach places.
• Wet Nozzle: Ideal for absorbing water or liquid. Use only for cleaning wet surfaces.
• Dusting Brush: Used for furniture, venetian blinds, books, lampshades, and shelves.

Vacuuming Dust

Before vacuuming dust, ensure the body, motor housing, filter, and attachments are dry. Fit the floor brush or other tools to vacuum the dust.

Absorbing Water

You can fit the wet nozzle or other cleaning tools. The safety buoy will not work when the body is filled with liquid. If this occurs, switch off the unit, remove the top cover, and pour out the liquid. If the appliance has fallen over, water may enter the motor. Ensure there is no water inside the motor before operating again.

Blowing Dust

Remove the filter grille from the blower position. Fit the hose connection. Once complete, remove the hose connection and fit the exhaust grille to its position, turning it tightly.

Note: If suction power weakens during operation, turn off the unit for a moment before resuming. If it still does not work, clean the body and empty the dust bin. Continuous extended use with a full dust bin may increase motor temperature and damage the unit.

Maintenance

Dust Filter Replacement

Note: Always unplug the cleaner before cleaning or maintenance.

Diagram Description: Shows steps for removing and replacing the dust filter. This involves removing the top cover, lifting out the filter, rinsing it, drying it, and reassembling.

• After detaching the flexible tube, remove the top cover.
• Lift up the dust filter to remove it from its slot.
• Rinse the filter in lukewarm water and dry it completely.
• When suction is extremely low with a washed filter, replace it with a new one. Contact an Electrolux service station for new filters.
• Replace the top cover and secure both latches on each side.

Cleaning Filter

Note:

• Filter must be cleaned when it becomes visibly soiled.
• Disconnect from the electrical outlet before cleaning filters.
• Do not use a washing machine to rinse filters.
• Do not use a hair dryer to dry filters.

How to Store Your Vacuum

• Choose a storage location that is both safe and dry.
• The vacuum comes with an onboard tool coupling for storing the floor nozzle; slide the parking clip onto the parking positions on the cleaner.
• Keep the extension tubes, nozzles, and hose together to avoid losing them.

Troubleshooting

In case of malfunction, check for the following probable reasons. Make necessary corrections at home. If the problem persists, consult the Electrolux Authorized Service Centre.
