ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the fan into the socket, check the following:
•Make sure your hands are dry
•The socket must have an earth connection
•The socket must be able to withstand the maximum power output indicated on the
rating label
•The power cord must not be bent or crushed
•Do not use extension leads
•Do not use outdoors
•Do not change the plug for a lower rated specification
Both the Variable and single speed 230V fans are fitted
with a 13amp BS1363/A approved plug and fuse. If
your plug needs to be replaced it should be fitted with
a plug with the same standard.
The 110V model will be fitted with a 32amp 110V BS
EN 60309-2 plug and be wired according to the letters stamped on the plug: L = live
(Brown), N = Neutral (Blue), E = Earth (Green/Yellow)
The power cord and plug should be inspected regularly for damage and should be replaced
by the manufacturer or similarly qualified persons if necessary.
