Permanently connected to the cleaner is a mains sup-
ply (2-core) cable fitted with a non-rewirable plug incor-
porating a 13A fuse In the event of the fuse requiring

a correct fuse cover fitted.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable
for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appro-
priate plug fitted Remove the fuse from the cut off

coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral.

ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which marked with the letter N or coloured
black The wire which is coloured brown must be con-
nected to the terminal which is marked the letter L or
coloured red
If using a three-pin plug, do not make any connection
to the terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth
symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow This

pared correctly

age the outer seal, or insulation surrounding the inner
conductors
