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 Authorized 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.
Destroy the old plug, a cut off plug with a bare cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket
elsewhere in the house.
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.
Important

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals on your
plug, proceed as follows:
1

the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol or coloured green and
yellow or green.
