ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Check that the voltage on
the rating plate of your
appliance corresponds with
your house electricity
supply which must be A.C.
(Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your
home are not suitable for
the plug supplied with this
appliance the plug should
be removed and the
appropriate one fitted.
If you cut off the plug and
let go of the cable, it will
rewind into the machine,
therefore you must pull out
a length of cable and
secure it before cutting the
plug off and re-fitting a new
one.
WARNING: A damaged
or severed mains cable
fitted with a plug should
never be connected to
the mains supply. It must
be destroyed, as a
damaged cable becomes
hazardous if connected
to a power socket.
Should the fuse in the 13
amp plug require changing,
a 13 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
