Connection
Make sure that you have an earthed power
outlet socket rated at 13 amps (minimum).
9.1 Attention!
When installed, the socket must be
reachable after installation, or a separate
switch (which can disconnect the two poles)
must be used in the installation. Check for
suitability.
For a permanent connection, a master
switch with at least 3mm contact clearance
and minimum 13 A rating must be used.
9.2 Electrical requirements
Before you insert the plug into the wall
socket make sure that the voltage and
the frequency shown in the rating label
corresponds to your electricity supply.
We recommend that this appliance be
connected to the mains supply via a
suitable switched and fused socket in a
readily accessible position.
Should the mains lead of the appliance
become damaged or need replacing at
any time, it must be replaced by a special
purpose made mains lead which can only
be obtained from an Authorised Service
Agent.

Warning
This appliance must be earthed
If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for
your socket, then the plug should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted.
The moulded plug on this appliance
incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse
need to be replaced an ASTA approved
BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be
used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover.
In the event of losing the fuse cover, the
plug must not be used until a replacement
fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the
replacement fuse cover must be the same
colour as that visible on the pin face of the
plug. Fuse covers are available from any
good electrical store.
In order to avoid hazards, damaged
supply cord should be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified people.

specialist retailers.
