This product is provided with a standard 13 amp, 230 volt (50Hz), BS 1363 plug, for
connection to a standard, domestic electrical supply. Should the plug need changing at
any time, ensure that a plug of identical specification is used.

connected in accordance with the following coulour code:
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
•Connect the BLUE couloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter “N”

If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded on to the electric cable (i.e. non-rewireable)

used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local Clarke dealer or most electrical
stockists.
