HERTZ
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 the retailer.
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 dealer or Electrical Retailers
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 Electrolux on 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. Green/Yellow: Earth.
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.
The wire which is coloured yellow and green must be connected to the terminal which is marked with a letter E or coloured
yellow and green.
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.

This steam cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of overheating. If the cleaner suddenly
shuts off, push the switch pedal once and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating
such as no water in the tank. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting
to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and turn on the switch. If the cleaner still does
not heat up, please call Electrolux on

and grime is removed.
