Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate of your appliance corresponds with
your electricity supply which must be A.C. (Alternating Current).
For appliances fitted with a plug
If the socket outlets are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance,
the plug should be removed and the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING: The plug removed from the mains lead, if severed, must
be destroyed as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged
into a live socket outlet.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Should the fuse in the 13A plug require changing, a 13A BS 1362
fuse must be fitted.
IMPORTANT: Installation must be carried out by an appropriately qualified
service engineer. Any damage caused by installation by an un-qualified individual
will invalidate you warranty.
Fitting a plug
The mains lead of this urn will already be fitted with a BS1363 13A plug. In the
event of replacing a fuse, a 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA or BSI must be used. If
the plug is not suitable for your socket then the plug must be cut off and disposed
of safely. An appropriate plug should be fitted as follows:
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green-and-Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
The wire, which is coloured green and- yellow, must be connected to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green or
green-and yellow. The wire, which is coloured blue, must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black or blue. The wire, which
is coloured brown, must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
L or coloured red or brown. Make sure that the connections are tight and that there
are no loose strands of wire and no insulation trapped under the terminals. Tighten
the clamp in the plug making sure that it grips the outer covering of the cord. In a
13A (BS 1363) fused plug, fit a 13A fuse. Tighten the plug cover securely.
If you are in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT: The supply cord on this appliance is of a special type. If replaced,
only a Burco supply cord must be used. The supply cord may become warm when
the appliance is in use.
6kW Appliances
You must use a qualified electrician to install the 6kW water boilers to an appropriate
(32amp) supply. Do not fit a 13amp plug to these boilers. Means of disconnection must
be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
