• Connect the BLUE wire
to the terminal marked N.
• Connect the BROWN
wire to the terminal marked L.
•Connect the YELLOW
AND GREEN wire to the terminal marked E
or .
AN APPROVED RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) WHICH HAS A TRIPPING CURRENT OF LESS THAN 30 mA MUST BE USED.
If you are not sure, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT try to do any repairs.

INSTALLING THE PUMP

Remove all packaging and make sure that the pump has no visible damage. Dispose of all packaging appropriately.

• The water inlet must be fully submerged before the pump is switched on and the pump be standing upright.
5. Connect the power cable to a high sensitivity residual current device (RCD) which has a tripping current of less then 30mA.

OPERATING THE PUMP

WARNING: CHECK THE PUMP FOR DAMAGE BEFORE USE, DO NOT USE THE PUMP IF IT IS DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
1. Switch the mains power supply on.
• The pump will begin to drain water until it reaches the 12 mm limit.
2. When finished, disconnect the pump from the power supply.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY
• The pump is fitted with a thermal overload switch. If the pump overheats
for any reason, it will automatically switch the pump OFF. Once the pump has cooled (at least 5-10 minutes), it will automatically restart.

AFTER USE

If the temperature is expected to be lower than 0°C, ensure there is no residual water in the pump which could freeze and damage the pump.
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.
