CONNECTING TO YOUR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
Permanently connected to the cleaner is a mains supply (2-core) cable.
The mains supply cable is fitted with a non-rewireable plug incorporating a
13A fuse. In the event of the fuse requiring replacement the fuse cover
should be removed using a small screwdriver. The old MUST be replaced by
a 13A ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse and the cover must be replaced before
the plug is used again. In the event of loss of the fuse cover, replacements
can be obtained from your dealer or Electricity Board and must be of the
same colour as indicated by the coloured insert on the base of the plug.
If difficulty is experienced in obtaining a replacement, contact your nearest
Service Centre. (Please see the separate Service Organisation leaflet). In no
circumstances must the plug be used without a correct fuse cover fitted.
In the event that the non-rewireable plug is unsuitable for the type of
sockets in your home, it should be cut off and disposed of safely or
destroyed to avoid any possible shock hazard resulting from the plug being
inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
A suitable replacement plug should be fitted as follows:

make any connection to the
terminal marked with the letter E or
by the earth symbol or coloured
green or green-and-yellow. This
cleaner is double insulated and no
earth connection is necessary.

MUST be fitted with a 13-amp fuse. it
is in your interest to ensure that the
plug. is correctly attached to the
mains cable. In case of doubt, have
it done by a qualified electrician, as

connection as a service that can be
given free of charge under the terms
