Safety precautions
CycloneXL should only be used by adults and only for normal vacuuming in a domestic environment. The vacuum
cleaner features double insulation and does not need to be earthed. Disconnect the plug from the mains before
cleaning or maintenance of the vacuum cleaner. Be sure to keep the vacuum cleaner in a dry place. All servicing
and repairs must be carried out by an authorised Electrolux service centre.
Never vacuum:
• In wet areas.
• Close to ammable gases etc.
• When housing shows visible signs of damage.
Never vacuum:
• Sharp objects, uids.
• Hot or cold cinders, lit cigarette butts, etc.
• Fine dust, for example from plaster, concrete, our, hot or cold ashes.
The above may 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. Damage to
the machine’s cable is not covered by the warranty.

power by sliding the control further up to“Max” position. Stop the vacuum cleaner by sliding in the opposite
direction to “O ” position.

tion.

Cleaning the hose and nozzle
The vacuum cleaner stops automatically if the nozzle, tube, hose or lters become blocked and when the dust
container is full. In such cases, disconnect from mains and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes. Clear blockage and/or
replace lters, empty the dust container and restart.
Tubes and hoses

obstruction is caused by glass or needles caught inside the hose.
Note: The warranty does not cover any damage to the hose caused by cleaning it.
Cleaning the oor nozzle

43* Press each wheel-hub and draw away the wheels. Remove dust-balls, hair or other objects that may be
entangled.
