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 your dealer.
CONNECTING TO YOUR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
(for UK residents only)
Permanently connected to the cleaner is a mains supply (3-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.
f 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 orcoloured 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.
WARNING
If the mains supply cable becomes damaged during cleaning the following action should be
taken:
1. Switch off and remove the plug from the socket outlet.
2. Examine the mains supply cable for damage (only after removing the plug from the socket outlet).

Thermal Cut Off
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 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, call Electrolux on 08706 055055 if you reside in the UK, otherwise contact your nearest
Service Agent.
