Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds 

with the main voltage in your home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your 

local electricity company.

The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 

amp capacity. 

Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with 

a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined below.

Note:

 Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly 

disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with 

the obvious consequent danger.

Please note:

 We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be 

switched off when the machine is not in use.

imPortaNt: 

The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance 

with the following code:

green and yelloW

as the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the 

coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

-  The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is 

marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol 

or coloured green or 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.

-  The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L 

or coloured red.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. 

do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. if your electricity supply point has 

only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried 

out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same 

size.

after replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. if the fuse cover 

is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the 

correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or 

elsewhere on the plug. always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.

only  13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.

This appliance conforms to the norms en 55014 regarding the suppression of radio inter-

ference.
