Fuse and mains plug replacement
This product is supplied with a moulded plug
which contains a 13A fuse. If you are simply
replacing the fuse, you must use a 13A fuse
which has been approved by ASTA to BS1362
(Figure 6).
If the plug does not fit the socket or becomes
damaged, a new plug must be fitted. Replace
the original plug with the correct plug for your
socket. If this is a 3-pin (square pin) 13A
(BS1363) plug, you must make sure that it is
fitted with an ASTA approved 13A fuse.
If another type of plug is used, it must be
protected by a 15A fuse, either in the plug or at
the distribution board.
1. Cut off the existing fitted plug.
2. The wires in the mains lead supplied with
this appliance are coloured in accordance with
the following code (Figure 7):
GREEN/YELLOW = EARTH (E)
BLUE = NEUTRAL (N) BROWN = LIVE
(L)
This product must be earthed
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
may not correspond with the colour markings
identifying the terminals in your new plug,
proceed as follows.
The wire which is coloured GREEN or
YELLOW/GREEN must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter E or
E
symbol or coloured GREEN or
YELLOW/GREEN.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter L or coloured RED.
3. Ensure that the connections are tight and
that no loose strands are left out of the
terminals.

If the mains lead becomes damaged
consult a qualified electrician.
