earthed
Fuse replacement
If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a
BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to change a fuse in
this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse
to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.
3. Refit both into plug.
Important:
The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a
fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not
be used until a correct replacement is fitted.
Correct replacement are identified by the colour
insert or the colour embossed in words on the
base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from
your local electrical store.
Connection to a rewirable plug
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlet, then it should be cut off and disposed of in
order to avoid a possible shock hazard should it
be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
A suitable alternative plug should then be fitted
to the cable.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN- “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLOW - “EARTH” (“E”)
1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter “E” or by the Earth
symbol
or coloured green or green and
yellow.
2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or
coloured black.
3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or
coloured red.
For the Republic of Ireland only
The information given in respect of Great Britain
will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and
socket is also used, the 2-pin, side earth type. In
this case, the wire which is coloured GREEN
AND YELLOW must be connected to the EARTH
contact, and the two wires to the two pins,
irrespective of colour. The supply to the socket
must be fitted with a 16 amp fuse.
