Supply via mains connection
The230Vsystemissafeguardedbya2-polecircuitbrea-
kerwitharesidualcurrentoperateddeviceand2x13A.
Theresidualcurrentoperateddeviceislocatedeitherinthe
seatingarrangementbehindthedriver‘sseatorintheclothes
cupboard(dependingonthemodel).Shouldtherebeapower
failure,theautomaticpersonprotectioncircuitinterruptsthe
entire230Velectriccircuit.Inmostcases,suchapowerfai-
lureiscausedbyadefectelectricaldeviceoradefectcord.
•Repairthedefectbeforeyouswitchthecircuitbreakeron
again.
•Ifyoucannotrepairthedefect,consultanelectrician.

 25m,aCEEplugandconnectortoconnectthemotor

Ifyouareusingacabledrumwithoutprotectionagainst
overheating,theelectriccablemustbecompletelyunw-
oundfromthecabledrum.
