supply through an approved plug or a suitably fused isolator switch.

As the colours of the flexible cable of this appliance may not correspond with

the coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as follows:

• The BLUE wire must be

connected to the

terminal which is

marked N.

• The BROWN wire must

be connected to the

terminal which is

marked L.

• The YELLOW AND

GREEN wire must be

connected to the

terminal which is

marked E or .

In the event that the pump is hard-wired into the electrical system, it must be

carried out in accordance with IEE regulations.

OPERATION

To operate the pump move the tab to the

required position for either Auto or Manual mode.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION (A)

To set the pump running automatically:

1. Move the tab until the indicator is positioned

on “A” (automatic).

• When the float reaches the ON level the

pump will start and will continue operating

until the float drops to the OFF level.

MANUAL OPERATION (M)

To manually start the pump:

1. Lift the tab until the indicator is positioned on

“M” (manual).

• The pump will run indefinately.

2. When the water level is down to 2-3 mm disconnect the pump from the

mains power suppy..

The pump is fitted with a thermal overload switch. If the pump overheats for

any reason, it will automatically switch OFF. Once the pump has cooled (at

least 5-10 minutes), it will automatically restart.

AFTER USE

If the temperature is lower than 0°C, ensure there is no residual water in the

pump which could freeze, causing cracks in the plastic parts.

If the pump has been used with substances that tend to form a deposit, or

with water containing chlorine, rinse it after use with a powerful jet of water in

order to avoid the formation of deposits which would reduce the

performance of the pump.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY
