Functions (only models with automatic programmes and
functions)
A This program adjusts the fan speed according to the
degree of pollutants in the room.
B This program adjusts the fan speed according to the
noise level in the room. The air cleaner will operate at
the highest possible fan speed without increasing the
noise level in the room.
C This function can be used, for example, when coming
home after a day's work to quickly clean the room
from pollutants. This programme has three different
modes.
The air cleaner automatically operates at setting 3.
After 15 minutes, it will automatically drop to setting 1.
The air cleaner will be turned off after two hours. The
fan speed setting is selected manually. The setting
can be changed during the preset operating duration.
The air cleaner will be turned off after nine hours.
Fan speed setting as above (2h).
D Indicates the degree of pollutants in the room. Adjust
to suitable fan speed setting or use auto program
High degree of pollutants.
Medium degree of pollutants.
Low degree of pollutants.
E Indicates current fan speed setting.
F This symbol shows that the machine is operating
optimally and is supplying clean air. The symbol will
be extinguished and the respective fault indicator
lamp ( ) will come on when it's time to wash
the filters or an air cleaner fault has occurred.
G Indicates that the filters should be cleaned according
to the cleaning schedule below.
H Indicates a fault in the air cleaner. Refer to the instruc-
tions under "Air cleaning problems".
I With the button lock activated you can press all the
buttons without anything happening, which can be
used around children.
Cleaning and maintenance
Always disconnect the power supply prior to cleaning the unit.
Pre-filter
(a) Open the access door (9). (b) Take out the filters one at a
time and vacuum them. Use the brush accessory to avoid
damaging the filters. After cleaning filters insert and close the
door. The pre-filters do not need to be replaced. Follow this
procedure every two months or more often for sensitive people,
e.g. when vacuuming your home.
Main filter
(c) Press the button (13) and lift off the cover. (d) Take out and
vacuum the main filter first. Then, wash the filter by immersing
it in lukewarm water containing a mild detergent (no solvents).
After washing, rinse the filter with clean lukewarm water and
allow it to dry for at least 10 hours. If the filter is still damp
when you replace it in the air cleaner, you may hear a crackling
sound until the filter is completely dry.
Continue cleaning the air cleaner as follows (stage 3)
(e) Vacuum the grille at the top of the space. (f) Lift the grille
using the handle. (g) Remove the wire holder carefully with both
hands keeping it level and upright. (h) Vacuum the inside of the
cleaner, including the lower grille, with the brush or crevice
nozzle. If necessary, use a damp cloth with mild detergent.
(i) Carefully refit the wire holder using both hands and close
the grille. (If the wire is broken please refer to the troubleshoo-
ting section.) (j) Replace the main filter. Make sure the guides
are properly set in the grooves when you put the filter back.
(k) Replace the cover.
Resetting the air cleaner (stage 4)*
Press the reset button (4) after cleaning or replacement. The
warning lamp goes out to indicate that the air cleaner has
been reset. The air cleaner is reset automatically on models
that do not have a warning lamp.
Filter cleaning intervals
Depending on the level of ambient contamination, we recom-
mend that you follow the above procedure every two months or
when the indicator on the display lights up. The main filter may
need cleaning more frequently if dust is visible on the upper filter
surface.
Change the main filter at two or three-year intervals to ensure
the function of the air cleaner. (Reference no. of main filter
EF102.)
When using the carbon filter, replace every three to six months
or sooner if you are no longer able to detect a reduction in gases
and smells. Reference No EF103.

Troubleshooting air cleaner problems when fault
indicator on display comes on or the blue indicator
lamp changes colour to red (depending on model)
• A break in the corona wire (stage 1) is shown in figure (g)
and is used as a reference in the paragraph "Continue
cleaning the air cleaner as follows".
Change the wire as instructed below. Press the reset button
(4). If the fault indicator comes on again after a short period,
proceed with the next stage.
Changing corona wire - Remove the broken wire. Carefully
replace the new wire as follows: Secure one end of the wire into
the groove. Bend the wire holder slightly and attach the other
end.
• Additional cleaning(stage 2)
Clean the filter and the ionization chamber inside the air
cleaner according to the maintenance instructions. Get in
touch with your service station if the fault indicator comes on
again after a short period.
Troubleshooting
• If the fan does not operate, (ie. if you cannot sense a weak air
current), check that the power cable is undamaged and that it is
connected to the power supply. Check that the cover and filters
are correctly set. If the fan still does not start, take your air clea-
ner to an authorised Electrolux service station for inspection.
• If a continuous crackling sound can be heard from the main
filter, lift up the filter and turn it 180°. If this does not remedy
the problem, take the unit for service. (A soft hissing coming
from the filter is normal, especially when new.)
• If the indicator lamp (15) does not light up though the fan is
operating, take the unit for service. (This applies only to air
cleaners without automatic functions.)
