Introduction

The User Manual contains useful information for the user on
how to work correctly and in complete safety, and is designed
to make it easier to use the machine (called “machine” or “ap­pliance” below).

What follows is in no case intended to be a long list of warnings
and constraints, but rather as a series of instructions meant to
improve the service provided by the machine in every respect,
and particularly to avoid a series of injuries or damage to equi­pment that might result from inappropriate procedures for use
and management.

It is essential that all the people responsible for transporting,
installing, commissioning, using, maintaining, repairing or dismant­ling the machine should consult this manual and read it carefully
before proceeding with the various operations, in order to avoid
any incorrect or inappropriate handling that might be result in
damage to the machine or put people’s safety at risk.

2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

ATTENTION!!

Connection to the electrical power supply must be done according to proper professional practice by a qualifi ed and authorised
person (see current standards and legislation in the country of installation).

If an adapter is used on the socket, a check must be made that the electrical characteristics of this adapter are not lower than
those of the machine.

Do not use multiple plugs
The AC power supply to the machine must comply with the following conditions;

- Maximum voltage variation: ±5%

- Maximum frequency variation: ±1% on a continuous basis, ± 2% over short periods

ATTENTION: the electrical installation must comply (for design, creation and maintenance) with the legal and standard
requirements in the country where used.

- Check that the electric mains voltage, the value shown on the specifi cation plate and the label on the power cable are the
same.

- The machine’s electrical power supply must be protected against voltage surges (short-circuits and excess voltages) by using
fuses or thermal relays of the appropriate gauge relative to the place of installation and machine specifi cations – see the spe­cifi cations shown in column G of fi gure 2.3a

ATTENTION: Concerning protection against indirect contact (depending on the type of power supply provided and
connection of the exposed conductive parts to the equipotential protection circuit), refer to point 6.3.3 of EN 60204-1 (IEC
60204-1) with the use of protection devices for automatic shut-off of power in the event of an insulation fault with a TN or
TT, system, or for the IT system, with the use of a permanent insulation or differentials controller for automatic shut-off.
The requirements of IEC 60364-4-41, 413.1 must apply for this protection.

For example: in a TT system, a differential circuit breaker must be installed upline of the power supply, with a suitable
power cut-off (e.g.: 30 mA) on the earthing installation for the place where it is planned to install the machine.

ATTENTION: Failure to comply with these instructions means the customer runs the risk of machine failure and/or acci­dents due to direct or indirect contacts.

• This food processor is available in three versions:

- Single speed : Single phase - one voltage only.

- Two-speed : Three-phase - one voltage only.

- Variable speed : Single phase - one voltage only.

• Check that the electric mains voltage and the value shown
on the specifi cation plate and the power cable label are the
same.

• The machine must be protected by a residual current device
(RCD) and one fuse per phase, of a rating shown in column Fof
the specifi cations.

• Motor specifi cations:
A Number of phases (1 = single phase or 3 = three-phase)
B Nominal voltage in volts
C Frequency (Hertz)
D Nominal rating (Watts)
E Nominal current (Amperes)
F Rating of the fuse protecting the electric line (Amperes)

Single phase, one voltage, one speed only

• A single phase 2-pole + earth wall socket rated at 16 A will
be required.

Three-phase, one tension, two speeds

• A standard 3-phase + Earth wall socket rated at 20A will be
required and an appropriate sealed plug to be fi tted onto the
power lead.

Must be earthed by green/yellow wire.

• Check the direction of rotor rotation at both speeds:

- Press the On button (see § 3.1).

- Make a visual check through the lid that the rotor turns in an
anti-clockwise direction ( ) at both speeds (see arrow etched
on the rotor handle).

- If the direction of rotation is reversed, change over the 2 phase
wires on the power socket.

Single phase, one voltage, variable speed

• The food processor is powered by single phase current up to

the variable speed unit which transforms the current to power
the three-phase motor.

• An easily accessible, standard 2-pole + earth sealed wall

socket rated at 16 A will be required.

2.3

• Warning to the installer:
This electronic variable speed food processor is fi tted with an
integral fi lter which does not pass through the variable speed
unit. To be effective, the machine's earth must be of good quality,
otherwise interference may pass through via the variable speed
unit and damage it.

Must be earthed by green/yellow wire.

• No earth connection = no protection = risk of failure +
DANGER for the user!

Note: The earth values are defi ned according to the residual
differential current (See standard NFC 15100 and PROMOTELEC
guide) and must be checked by an electrician.

Damage caused by a lack of earth will not be covered by
the warranty

In certain cases, depending on the sensitivity of the
protective RCD, SI-type (Super Immunity) devices may
need to be fi tted to prevent unwanted tripping.

To PAT test the Electrolux Range of Food Preparation Equipment,
the PCB board needs to be disconnected before any test is done.
This is due to the fact that the boards are fi tted with a grounding
diode that can give incorrect result during such a test. Also on a
standard appliance a fl ash test of 25 amps and up to 3000v is
used but, as you would expect, to use this on equipment, which
has a printed circuit, board would be quite destructive to that
board. We would recommend the use of a PAT tester approved
for computer systems which use a lower rate of amps.

The appliance is perfectly safe and is CE certifi cated. There are
two ways to get overcome this problem.

· Disconnect the board as instructed and test using test for
PC’s,

· Or install the mixer on a fused spur (no plug) as this takes it
away from being a portable appliance and the PAT test is then
not needed.
