ELECTRICAL SUPPLY Before you start � check the voltage
Before connecting the cleaner to an electrical supply ensure that the voltage marked on the data plate (on the underside of the cleaner) is correct for your electrical 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 and the fuse 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 dealer or Electricity Board 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 your nearest Electrolux Service Centre or phone Electrolux Customer Services on 08706 055 055. 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. As a general guide to fitting any plug � Ensure the lengths of wire inside the plug are prepared correctly. � Connections should be firmly made after all conductor strands are entered into the terminal posts. � When preparing the cable ends take care not to damage the outer sheath, or the insulation surrounding the inner conductors. � Tighten all screws. � Replace the top cover of the plug and secure.
