Make sure that the electrical socket is accessible. Take the
mains lead from the back of the machine and plug it into the
socket. We do not recommend wiring your machine directly
into the mains supply.

Changing the mains lead
If you have damaged the existing lead and need a new one,
contact Hotpoint Service UK on 08709 066066 or
www.theservicecentre.co.uk (or in the  Republic of Ireland on
1850 302 200). A charge will be made. We strongly advise that
fitting the new lead is carried out by a qualified electrician.

Changing the plug
If you need to change your plug if it does not fit your socket;
isolate the machine from the mains supply. Cut off the
supplied plug and safely dispose of the discarded plug.
Note: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains
lead may not match the colour of the markings  which show
the different terminals in the plug. You must wire it as shown
below.

Fuses
Your machine comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A)
fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use only those rated at 13
amp (13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change the fuse,
lift the holder to vertical position and lift the fuse out. To
replace the fuse, insert the fuse and push the fuse holder down
into the locked position. Correct replacement is identified by
colour coding or the marking on the base of plug.
WARNING:
Do not use the plug unless the fuse  holder is in the locked
position and the top cover firmly replaced.

following EEC directives.
