This document describes the Electrolux Twinclean Cyclonic vacuum cleaner, a device designed for indoor vacuuming in a home environment. It emphasizes ease of use, efficient cleaning, and straightforward maintenance.
Function Description:
The Electrolux Twinclean is a cyclonic vacuum cleaner that utilizes a bagless dust container system. Its primary function is to effectively remove dirt and debris from various surfaces, including hard floors and carpets. The cyclonic technology separates dust from the air, maintaining consistent suction power. The vacuum cleaner features double insulation, eliminating the need for earthing. It is equipped with an automatic cord winder (autoreverse) for convenient storage and retrieval of the power cord. The device offers adjustable suction power, controlled either via buttons on the unit or a remote control, with visual indicators (dark blue for max suction, light blue for min suction).
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific power ratings (e.g., wattage) are not detailed in the provided pages, the manual highlights several functional specifications:
- Dust Container: Bagless, designed to be emptied when full (indicated by a "Max" sign).
- Filtration System: Includes a dust filter that requires periodic cleaning to maintain high suction. The filter light on the vacuum cleaner flashes when cleaning is needed. Additionally, there are exhaust filters: a standard filter (to be cleaned every 5-7 years) and a HEPA filter (thicker, creased fibre material, to be cleaned every 2-3 years).
- Nozzles:
- Max In telescopic tube/telescopic tube with power cable.
- Max In hose handle (with or without remote control).
- Max In nozzle.
- Max In motorised floor nozzle (receives power via tube and hose, indicated by a blue light when the brush roller is turning).
- Max In turbo nozzle.
- Nozzle with pedal, telescopic tube and hose (position 1 for carpets, position 2 for hard floors).
- Crevice nozzle.
- Upholstery nozzle.
- Dusting brush.
- Cord Winder: Automatic (autoreverse) for easy cord management.
Usage Features:
The Twinclean is designed for user convenience and versatility across different cleaning tasks:
- Starting and Stopping: The vacuum cleaner is started/stopped by pushing a button on the unit's top. Models with remote control can be started by lightly pressing Max or Min buttons and turned off by pushing Off.
- Suction Power Adjustment: Suction power can be adjusted using the Max-Min button on the vacuum cleaner or the Max/Min buttons on the remote control.
- Telescopic Tube: The telescopic tube's length can be adjusted by pushing a release button and extending/shortening the tube. Some models have a lock button for secure attachment.
- Nozzle Versatility:
- Hard Floors and Carpets: The Max In, Max In Turbo, and Max In motorised floor nozzles (5) automatically detect surface type. The pedal nozzle (7) has specific settings for carpets (17) and hard floors (18).
- Crevices, Corners: The crevice nozzle (8) is used for tight spaces.
- Upholstered Furniture: The upholstery nozzle (9) is recommended.
- Curtains, Lightweight Fabrics: The upholstery nozzle (9) can be used, with suction power reduced via the Max-Min or Min button.
- Frames, Bookshelves: The dusting brush (10) is suitable for these surfaces.
- Parking Position: The tube can be attached to the rear of the vacuum cleaner for temporary pauses (19) or to the bottom for compact storage (20).
- Safety Precautions:
- Intended for adult use only for normal indoor vacuuming.
- Children should be supervised to prevent play with the appliance.
- Damaged plugs/cables must be replaced by an authorized Electrolux Service Agent.
- Never vacuum wet areas, flammable gases, sharp objects, fluids, hot/cold ashes, lit cigarettes, or fine dust (e.g., plaster, concrete, flour) to prevent motor damage not covered by warranty.
- Avoid pulling or lifting the vacuum cleaner by the cord.
- Disconnect from power before cleaning the exterior.
- Regularly check for cord damage.
- Store in a dry space.
- Max In Turbo and Max In motorised nozzles should not be used on fur rugs, rugs with long fringes, or pile depths exceeding 15 mm. Avoid leaving the nozzle in one place when the brush is rotating and do not pass over electrical cords.
Maintenance Features:
The Twinclean is designed for easy maintenance to ensure longevity and consistent performance:
- Emptying the Dust Container:
- Press the release button at the rear of the vacuum cleaner (22).
- Lift out the dust container (23).
- Empty over a wastepaper basket by pressing its release button (24).
- Reinsert until it clicks into place.
- Cleaning the Dust Filter:
- When the filter light flashes, turn off the vacuum cleaner (25).
- Open the cover by lifting the release catch (26).
- Lift out the filter holder and turn it a half turn to swap filters, then place them back (27).
- Turn the left filter a full turn in the direction of the arrow; the filter light will flash, the vacuum cleaner starts, and as it turns, the filter is cleaned. The vacuum cleaner turns off, and the filter light stops flashing (28).
- Approximately once a year, when the filter light flashes more frequently, the filters need washing:
- Lift out filters (A).
- Remove one filter at a time from the filter container (29) by pressing the marked release button and turning the filter (B).
- Rinse filters in lukewarm water and let them dry (C).
- Thread filters back into the filter holder (D).
- Cleaning the Exhaust Filter:
- Remove the dust container (30).
- Lift the two snap catches at the back edge and open the filter cover (31).
- Lift out the filter (32).
- Rinse the inside (dirty side) in lukewarm tap water, tapping the filter frame to remove water. Repeat four times. Avoid cleaning agents and touching the filter surface.
- Let the filter dry.
- Reinsert the filter, close the cover, and refit the dust container (33).
- Clearing Blockages (Hose and Nozzle):
- If the vacuum cleaner stops due to a blockage or blocked filter, unplug it and let it cool for 20-30 minutes.
- Remove the blockage and/or replace the dirty filter.
- Use a suitable implement to clear tubes and hoses (34).
- Hoses can sometimes be cleared by "massaging" them, but caution is advised for glass or needles (35). Hose damage from cleaning is not covered by warranty.
- Clearing Internal Blockages:
- If something gets stuck inside the vacuum cleaner:
- Turn off, open the front cover by lifting the release catch (36).
- Lift out the filter holder and filters (37).
- Lift the cover between the filter wells and remove any stuck objects; check filter well bottoms (38).
- Refit the cover, press down, put the filter holder back, and close the vacuum cleaner cover (39).
- Cleaning Max In and Carpet/Floor Nozzles:
- Clean frequently to avoid suction loss, ideally using the hose handle (40).
- Carefully pull out auxiliary wheels (41).
- Clean as needed and reinsert (42).
- Cleaning Motorized Nozzles (Certain Models):
- Always unplug before cleaning.
- To remove the brush roller cover, push the outer latch out and the middle cover to the left, freeing the wheels (43).
- Lift out the brush roller and clean it, snipping away entangled threads. Reinsert in reverse order. Auxiliary wheels can be pulled out, cleaned, and reinserted (44, 45).
- Cleaning Turbo Nozzle (Certain Models):
- Disconnect from the tube. Remove entangled threads by snipping them away. Use the hose handle to clean (46).
- Cleaning the Dust Container:
- Remove the dust container (47).
- Empty it (48).
- Remove the cover on the side of the round space by pulling it straight out (49).
- Wipe or wash the dust container. If water is used, ensure the cartridge is dry before reinserting.
- Refit the cover by pushing it straight in. Reinsert the dust container.
Troubleshooting:
- Vacuum cleaner does not start: Check cable connection, plug/cable damage, and blown fuse.
- Vacuum cleaner stops: Check if the dust container is full (empty and clean box/filter). Check for blockages in nozzle, tube, hose, or filters.
- Water entered vacuum cleaner: Motor replacement by an authorized service centre will be necessary. Water damage is not covered by warranty.
