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 off the plug and refitting a new
one.
WARNING: The plug removed from the
mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed
as a plug with bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged into a live socket
outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require
replacement, a BS1362 13 amp fuse must be
fitted.
