The mains lead of this appliance will already be fitted with a BS1363 13amp plug. In the event
of replacing a fuse, a 13amp fuse approved by ASTA or BSI must be used.
•
If the plug is not suitable for your socket then the plug must be cut off and disposed of safely.
•
An appropriate plug must be fitted as follows:-
•
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow – Earth, Blue – Neutral, Brown – Live
•
The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E, the earth symbol or coloured Green and Yellow.
•
The wire which is coloured Blue, must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured Black or Blue.

Make sure that the connections are tight and that there are no loose strands of wire and no
insulation trapped under the terminals. Tighten the clamp in the plug making sure that it grips
the outer covering of the cord. In a 13amp (BS 1363) fused plug, fit a 13amp fuse and tighten
the plug cover securely.
