Mains plug
Thisapparatusisttedwithanapproved13Ampplug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
aRemove fuse cover and fuse.
b Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3 Amp,
A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
c Ret the fuse cover.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or
•
coloured black.
Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or
•
coloured red.
Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the
•
plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.
