Preparation

IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG (U.K. only)

FOR YOUR SAFETY, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT
CAREFULLY.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your
safety and convenience. A 13 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse
need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of
13 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark       or the BSI mark       on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted
when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover, the plug must not be
used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be
purchased from an Authorised Service Centre.

If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your
home, then the fuse should be removed and the plug cut off and
disposed of safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the
cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below.
If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.
