A) This appliance is tted with a plug that will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not t your socket, the plug should be cut o from the
mains lead, and an appropriate plug tted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut o plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as
this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded-on type, the
fuse cover must be re-tted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse
cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical
dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.
B) Please follow the instructions provided below.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.The brown wire must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red. If you have a 3-pins plug, do not connect any wire to the “earth”terminal.
- Voltage and wattage can be found on the rating label on the underside of the machine.
