BEFORE YOU START
CHECK THE VOLTAGE
First check the voltage shown on the data plate (see rear view) to make sure that the
cleaner is of the correct voltage for your electricity supply. If it is not, do not use the
cleaner but refer back to your dealer.
CONNECTING TO YOUR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
Permanently connected to the cleaner is a mains supply (2-core) cable fitted with a non-
rewirable plug incorporating a 13A fuse.
In the event of the fuse requiring replacement, the fuse cover should be removed using
a small screwdriver. The old fuse MUST be replaced by a 13A ASTA approved BS1362
fuse or a BSI approved fuse. The cover must be replaced before the plug is used again.
In the event of loss of the fuse cover, replacements can be obtained from your Electrolux
retailer and must be of the same colour as indicated by the coloured insert on the base
of the plug.
If difficulty is experienced in obtaining a replacement, contact an Electrolux Service Agent
or phone 08706 055055.
In no circumstances must the plug be used without a correct fuse cover fitted.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must
be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.
The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it
should be plugged into a 13 amp socket in another part of your home.
The wires in the mains cable of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the
following code: Blue: Neutral. Brown: Live.
As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of this appliance may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
If using a three-pin plug, do not make any connection to the terminal marked with the
letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow. This cleaner is
double insulated and no earth connection is necessary.
It is in your interest to ensure that the plug is correctly attached to the mains cable. In
case of doubt, have it done by a qualified electrician, as Electrolux cannot regard the
repair of faults on the plug connection as a service that can be given free of charge under
the terms of the guarantee.
