Electrical supply (UK and Ireland only)
Before you start … check the voltage
Before connecting the air cleaner to an electrical supply
ensure that the voltage marked on the data plate (on the
reverse side of the air cleaner) is correct for your electrical
supply. If it is not, do not use the air cleaner but refer back
to your dealer.
Connecting to your electricity supply
Permanently connected to the air 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. (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 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.
