 Risk of electric shock. Do not open.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded 3 pin mains plug for your safety. The value of the fuse fitted is 
marked on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need replacing, ensure the substitute is of the 
correct rating, approved to BS1362 and ASTA or BS Kite marked.

The fuse cover is removable with a small plain slot screwdriver. Ensure the fuse cover is replaced before 
attempting to connect the plug to an electrical outlet. If the cover is missing, a replacement must be 
obtained or the plug replaced with a suitable type.

If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable should be disabled to prevent connection to a 
live electrical outlet.

This appliance is Class II

 and is designed for connection to a power supply matching that detailed on 

the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted.

If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance. Follow all 
the instruction supplied with the extension lead.

Double insulated      : This product requires no earth connection as supplementary insulation is applied 

to the basic insulation to protect against electric shock in the event of failure of the basic insulation.

Important: 

On products exceeding 2000W it is recommended that the power cable and/or extension 

cable are fully unwound before a connection is made to the power supply. However, ensure the residual 
cable does not pose a trip hazard
