Electrical connection
Power supply voltage and frequency: 230-240V a.c. 50/60 Hz.
Note:
the supply cable must be positioned so that it never reaches at any point a temperature 50°C higher than the
room temperature. The cable must be routed away from the rear vents. Should you require it, you may use a longer
cable, however, you must ensure that the cable supplied with the appliance is replaced by one of the same
specifications in accordance with current standards and legislation.
Your appliance is supplied with a 13 amp fused plug that can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use.
Before using the appliance please read the instructions below.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse:
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse
cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.
Replacement fuse covers:
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the
colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from your
nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug:
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to remove it to add a cable extension or
to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:
•
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 amp re-wireable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
or:
•
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS
5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance.
Please note:
for appliances with a rating greater than 13 amp (eg: electric hob, double ovens and freestanding
electric cookers etc.) the mains cable must be wired into a cooker output point with a rating of 45 amp. In this case
the cable is not supplied.
Disposing of the plug:
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally
inserted into a socket. Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:
Important:
the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow
- Earth
Blue

If the colours of the wires in the mains lead do not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13 amp fuse. A 15 amp plug must be protected by a 15
amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board. If you are in any doubt about the electrical supply
to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.
