Electrical Information
Connecting to the mains
Before you use your washing machine check
that the voltage shown on the data plate
conforms with your mains supply.
The mains lead of the washing machine is
fitted with a non-rewireable moulded-on 13
amp plug containing a 13 amp fuse. In the
event of the fuse requiring replacement, the
fuse cover/carrier should be removed, using a
small screw driver to lever it out. The old fuse
should be replaced by a 13 amp ASTA
approved BS1362 fuse and the fuse cover/
carrier must be refitted before the plug is
used again.
If the fuse cover/carrier is lost, a replacement
can be obtained from the Electrolux Service
Centres listed on page 25. The fuse cover/
carrier must be of the same colour as that of
the coloured insert in the base of the plug. In
no circumstances must the plug be used
without a correct fuse cover/carrier fitted.
If the plug supplied on the mains lead is not
suitable for the socket outlet in your home it
should be cut off and disposed of safely, or
destroyed, to avoid any possible shock hazard
resulting from the plug being inserted into a
13 amp socket elsewhere in the house. A
suitable replacement plug should be fitted (as
shown opposite). If a 13 amp plug and socket
are not used, the circuit supplying the washing
machine should contain a 15 amp fuse.
However, we recommend that this operation
be carried out by a member of the Electrolux
Service Organisation or a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead of this appliance
are coloured in accordance with the following
code:-
GREEN-and-YELLOW : EARTH
BLUE
: NEUTRAL
BROWN
: LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:-
Connect the GREEN-and-YELLOW coloured
wire to the plug terminal marked letter E or
earth symbol + or coloured green or green-and-
yellow.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the
plug terminal marked letter L or coloured red.
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the plug
terminal marked letter N or coloured black.
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.
Extension Cord
If using an extension cord at any time always
ensure that the insulation sheath is in good
condition and is not damaged in any way.
Make sure that the socket is fitted to the
extension cable correctly, if in doubt have it
checked by a qualified electrician.
