Dust bag indicator and changing the dust bag

For peak performance the dust bag must be changed when
full. The dust bag indicator window will gradually turn red
when filling and completely red when full. If the dust bag
should accidentally get broken in the cleaner, take the Excellio
to an Electrolux Service Centre for cleaning.

To check the dust bag, the cleaner must be switched on, 
with all attachments connected and off the floor. 

The dust bag full indicator may signify that the bag is blocked
(occasionally caused by very fine dust) which will cause loss of
suction and may result in overheating. If this occurs change
the dust bag even if it is not full.

To change the dust bag: 

A) Release catch and swing back lid 

B) Pull the sliding tab to remove the dust bag.

C) Insert new dust bag by sliding the bag slots into the holder.

Close lid

We recommend the dust bag is changed: 

* after using a carpet cleaning powder

* if there is a bad smell from the cleaner, then you should also

change the filter 

Note: Use only Electrolux original dust bags and filters:

Dust bag (ref E41)

Motor Protection filter (ref EF19)

Micro filter (ref EF17)

Washable, reusable HEPA filter (ref EF25a)

Dust bag safety device

To avoid damaging the cleaner do not use it without a dust
bag. A safety device is fitted which prevents the cover closing
without a dust bag. Do not attempt to force cover shut. 

Changing the filters

There are two filters inside your Excellio cleaner. Never use the
cleaner without the filters in place. The Motor Protection filter
should be changed twice a year on average (or more frequently
if necessary).

To change Motor Protection filter:

A) Release catch and swing back lid. 

B) Lift holder and remove filter.

C) Insert new filter and replace holder. Close lid.

The Micro filter 

5210

should be changed every fifth dust bag. 

To change Micro filter:

D) Open the filter cover.

E) Discard the unit. Put in a new filter unit and close lid.

The HEPA filter should be cleaned when the indicator light is
on 

5240/45 

or twice a year on average 

5228/29

.

To clean HEPA filter:

F) Open filter cover and remove filter unit. 

G) Rinse the inside (dirty side) of the filter under tap water only.

Do not use cleaning agents and avoid touching the

delicate filter surface.

Tap the filter frame to remove

excess water. Repeat cleaning procedure four times and
allow the filter to air dry. The original filtering performance is
now restored. Replace unit back into cleaner and close
cover.

Troubleshooting

1. Power: 

If the electric power does not come on, 

disconnect from mains

and check plugs, cable and fuses

where appropriate.

2. Blockages/dirty filters: 

The cleaner may switch itself off 

in the event of a severe blockage or excessively dirty filter(s).
In such cases, disconnect from mains and allow to cool for 
20-30 minutes. Clear blockage and/or replace filter(s) and restart. 

The clearing of blocked hoses is not covered by the guarantee.
To avoid blockages and maintain suction efficiency, the floor
nozzles should be cleaned regularly using the hose handle. 

Please also see Electrolux additional information towards the
back of this booklet.

3. Water: 

If water is sucked into the cleaner the motor must be

changed at an Electrolux Service Centre.

Change the batteries in the Remote control module 

5245

when flat. We recommend alkaline batteries. NB! Do not throw
the batteries among other rubbish. Put them in a special
recycling container. If the batteries are flat you may start the
cleaner by pressing the button at the parking position.

for use Booklet please e-mail us on: floorcare@electrolux.se
