Plug Fitting Instructions (UK only)

The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13A mains plug 
fitted with a 3A fuse inside.  If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is 
important that a 3A one is used.  If the plug needs to be changed because it 
is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off 
and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below.  The 
plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13A socket is likely 
to cause an electrical hazard.  Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS 
mains plug to the power cord the wires should be fitted as shown in this 
diagram.  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.  Connect them as follows:-

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

The wire which is coloured 
G R E E N / Y E L L O W   m u s t   b e  
connected to the terminal which is 
marked with the letter ‘E’ or 
coloured GREEN.

Note

 

If a 13 Amp (BS 1363) type of plug is used  a 3 Amp or 5 Amp fuse must be 
fitted, either in the plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.
