Before you start …check the
voltage
Before connecting the cleaner to
an electrical supply ensure that
voltage marked on the data plate
(on the underside of cleaner) is
correct for your electrical supply. If
is not, do not use the cleaner but
refer back to your dealer.
Connecting to your electrical
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 and the fuse cover
must be replaced before the plus is used again. In the event of loss of the fuse
cover, replacements can be obtained from your Electrolux dealer or Electricity
Board and must be of the same colour as indicated by the coloured insert on the
base plug.
If difficulty is experienced in obtaining a replacement, contact your nearest
Electrolux Service Centre. (Please see the separate Electrolux Service
Organisation leaflet).
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 cutoff plug should then be disposed of to prevent 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 fol-
lows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which marked
with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be con-
nected to the terminal which is marked 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 you 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 guarantee.
As a general guide to fitting any plug
• Ensure the lengths of wire inside the plug are prepared correctly.
• Connection should be firmly made after all conductor stands are entered into the
terminal posts.
• When preparing the cable ends take care not to damage the outer seal, or insu-
lation surrounding the inner conductors.
• Tighten all screws.
• Replace the top cover of the plug and secure.
