Applies to
- household appliances manufactured by the Electrolux Group
Resolution
To determine the year and place of manufacture, we will need the information on the device’s rating plate.
Example rating plate showing the place of manufacture, model number, product number (PNC), and serial number:
1. Model name
2. Product number code (PNC)
3. ML number
4. Serial number
The place of manufacture is indicated by the wording "Made in" (place of manufacture), e.g. "Made in Poland", “Made in Germany”.
The number used to determine the year of manufacture is the product’s serial number.
The first digit of the serial number indicates the year of manufacture, and the next two indicate the week of that year. As, for example, the digit 1 could indicate a year of manufacture of 2001, 2011 or 2021, you will need to contact Consumer Service to establish the exact date of manufacture.
