SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum in case of motor overheating. If the vacuum
Thermal cut off
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.
