Operation
To connect the power cord, pull the cord out to the length required (Fig. G). A yellow band on the power cord indicates
the limit of extension. Do not pull the cord beyond that point. Connect the plug into wall outlet. The green control light
will illuminate to indicate that power is available. The cordwinder automatically rewinds the cord when given a light
tug. Holding onto the plug, feed the power cord slowly into the unit; do not allow the cord to whip into cordwinder.
To start the cleaner, gently press the toe switch on top of the unit (Fig. H). To stop the machine, press the toe switch
again. Always switch the cleaner off before disconnecting power cord.

Adjust the control dial for type of cleaning required (Fig. I). For normal conditions the dial should be set to NORMAL.
When vacuuming fine dust, set the dial to 1. When vacuuming larger particles, set the dial to 5. Open the suction
control to reduce suction for gentle cleaning of delicate fabrics, lightweight rugs, lamps shades or net curtains. The
suction control should always be open when using the crevice tool (Fig. J).

Attach the combination tool to handgrip to clean deeply into all
types of upholstered furniture and fabrics (Fig. K). Adjust wings on
nozzle to match furniture contours (Fig. L). The combination tool
is ideal for cleaning automobile upholstery, blankets, pillows,
mattresses, and clothing. For curtains and draperies, reduce the
suction strength and attach the combination tool to the wand for
better reach.
Reverse the combination tool on wand to clean baseboards without
bending or stretching. With the round brush on the end of the
handgrip, remove dust from delicate articles or carved furniture
contours (Fig. M).
Use the crevice tool on the end of the handgrip to get
into crevices of upholstered furniture and other hard-to-reach
areas. Using the nozzle on the end of the wand, clean hot air regis-
ters without kneeling or stooping. Remember to open the suction
control knob when using the crevice tool (Fig. N).

Questions and answers
The vacuum will not turn on. Cannot turn circular dial to normal; it's stuck.
The Electrolux vacuum model 2100 may not turn on if the power cord is not properly plugged in, the toe switch is not pressed correctly, or if the vacuum motor has shut off due to overheating or an obstruction. The circular dial may be stuck due to debris, incorrect use, or internal damage. Make sure the unit is off, check for obstructions, and inspect the dial for any physical blockage or misalignment.

The control dial is stuck. Cannot move it to normal. Vacuum won't start. The power symbol doesn't illuminate.
To fix a stuck control dial on an Electrolux 2100 vacuum that won’t start and has a non-illuminating power symbol, follow these steps:
1. Check Power Cord: Ensure the power cord is properly plugged in and fed slowly into the unit. Do not let it whip into the cord winder.
2. Toe Switch: Press the toe switch gently on top of the unit to start the vacuum. If it doesn’t start, press it again to ensure it's not stuck.
3. Control Dial: Adjust the control dial to a known working setting like “NORMAL.” If the dial is stuck, try gently turning it back and forth to free it. Avoid using force.
4. Suction Control: Open the suction control to prevent excess resistance that may affect startup.
5. Check Full Bag Indicator: Make sure the vacuum bag is not full and is installed correctly. A full or misaligned bag can prevent the vacuum from starting.
6. Filter Lock: Ensure the filter is locked in place, as an unlocked filter may stop the vacuum from operating.
If the vacuum still won't start and the power symbol does not light up, the issue may involve internal wiring, a faulty switch, or a failed motor, which may require professional repair.

The replace bag light is on but that isn't the issue. There are no clogs or kinks or overheating. I think it's possible it may have been run over damp carpet briefly, but I'm not certain. Is there a reset I can do or something I can replace?
To reset or fix the "replace bag" light issue on an Electrolux 2100 vacuum:
1. Check and Replace the Filter Bag: Ensure you are using an official Aerus (Electrolux) filter bag. A non-Aerus bag can cause dirt leakage, triggering the light.
2. Install the Bag Correctly: Make sure the bag is properly seated in the vacuum. An incorrectly installed bag may cause the sensor to think the bag is full or missing.
3. Clean Dust Build-Up: Dust or debris around the bag compartment or sensor can cause false readings. Clean the area before inserting a new bag.
4. Inspect the Bag Check Switch: The vacuum includes a full bag check switch. If this switch is dirty or faulty, it may trigger the light. Clean or inspect it for damage.
5. Check for Electrical Issues: Loose or uninsulated wires around the sensor or bag check switch may affect operation. Ensure connections are secure and insulated.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, further inspection or repair may be needed.
