Before vacuuming

Risk of falling

Trilobite cannot sense level differences. Because of this, it might
easily travel down a stairway or fall off a terrace, balcony, attic,
etc. It may even start climbing up inclines, e.g., slides in
children’s rooms. Consequently, be sure to close all doors and
“box” it in with magnetic strips. (Available as after sales item.)

Loose objects on tables, etc.

Trilobite automatically stops two centimetres in front of e.g.,
chairs, tables and pedestals. However, there is a chance Trilobite
can catch suspended electric cords, tablecloths, belts, cords, etc.
In the worst case,Trilobite will pull objects off tables and
cabinets or down your walls.

Objects on the floor

Put away small objects on the floor, which might be vacuumed
by Trilobite.

Combustibles

Never use Trilobite to:
• Vacuum rooms with lit candles, lamps, etc.
• Vacuum rooms with open fire or embers in an open fireplace without

supervision

• Vacuum rooms where curtains or other textiles can become stuck to

e.g., electric radiators

• Vacuum combustible substances such as petrol, white spirit, thinner, etc.
• Vacuum glowing cigarette butts
Because Trilobite can build up static electricity, never use it in
rooms where the air contains:
• Combustible gasses, such as petrol, white spirit, thinner, etc.
• Gasses from hairspray or deodorants

Do not spray the Trilobite with fragrances when it is operating.

While cleaning

Risk of personal injury

When Trilobite is working, somebody could stumble over it.
This may especially happen when Trilobite is returning to the
charger – in this case it is quiet as a whisper.With this in mind,
make sure everybody in your home knows that Trilobite is
working.

Do NOT sit or stand on Trilobite!!!

Liquids

NOTE! Do not allow Trilobite to vacuum liquids, since this
may severely damage the machine.

After vacuuming

Batteries

Only allow an Electrolux service centre to replace the batteries
since the use of incorrect batteries may cause overheating. Do
not under any circumstances heat the batteries!

Cleaning the filter unit

Carefully empty the filter unit. Dust collected in the unit can
cause allergic reactions in sensitive persons. (Use only original
Electrolux micro filters for a snug fit.)

Be especially careful if there is a chance Trilobite has

vacuumed rat poison, detergent, disease carriers, etc.

Please also pay attention to the fact that Trilobite may have

vacuumed e.g., insects or spiders.

Tip: Empty the filter unit in a plastic bag, while ensuring the bag fits
tightly around the unit.

Storing

Make sure small children cannot start Trilobite by accident.

For Your Own Safety

Trilobite is a machine that moves by itself. It is tempting
to prying children’s fingers and is at work when nobody is
around...With this in mind, it is important to read the
following before you put it to work.
