If the terminals in the plug are unmarked or you are in any doubt as to the correct
connections,consult aqualified electrician.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following

After replacement of the fuse in the moulded plug, the fuse cover must be
refitted. If the fuse cover is lost a replacement cover must be obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in
the base of the plug or the colour that is embossed in words in the base of
the plug recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when
orderinga replacementfuse cover.
Only 5 amp. replacement fuses which are ASTA approved to BS 1362 should
befitted. (U.K. Only)
