ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply
through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
THIS APPLIANCE IS DOUBLE INSULATED
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:

As the colours of the flexible lead of this appliance may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
• No connection should be made to the earth terminal .
• Connect BROWN cord to terminal marked with a letter “L” or
coloured RED.

If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electric cable
(i.e. non-rewireable) please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is a
danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
3. When replacing a detachable fuse carrier, ensure the correct replacement
is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
