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.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY INSTRUCTIONS
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 cut off 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 follows:
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 connected 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 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 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 insulation
surrounding the inner conductors.
•Tighten all screws.
•Replace the top cover of the plug and secure.

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
