This heater must be used on an A.C.~ supply only and the voltage
marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage. This
heater is tted with a plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. When
replacing the fuse, a 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362
must be used.
If the plug is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home, the
plug must be cut off and an appropriate one tted. A plug cut off
from a mains lead will give a shock hazard if inserted into a 13
amp socket elsewhere in the house. To avoid this, it should be
disposed of immediately.
NOTE: The fuse cover of a non-rewirable plug must be retted
when changing the fuse. Should the cover become lost, the plug
must not be used until the correct replacement fuse cover is
obtained from your supplier or by contacting our customer helpline.
IMPORTANT: The wires in this 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 in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the BROWN wire to the terminal marked ‘L’ or coloured
RED. Connect the BLUE wire to the terminal marked ‘N’ or
coloured BLACK.Note: ‘L’ or ‘N’ must not be connected to the
EARTH terminal marked ‘E’ or ‘ ’ or coloured GREEN or GREEN
AND YELLOW.
If in doubt, consult your electrician.
