1) ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
“Warning - this appliance must be earthed”
This appliance is normally supplied with a
mains lead having a plug fitted in the factory
which has been checked for correct earth
continuity.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlet, or if the machine’s mains lead is not
fitted with a plug, you should fit a suitable new,
good quality plug by following the instructions in
(2) below.
Any unsuitable plug should be cut off and
disposed of in order to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a socket.
2) CONNECTION TO A REWIRABLE PLUG - to
be carried out only by a qualified electrician
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”)
To fit a new plug, proceed as follows:
2.1 Polarized Plugs (e.g. 3 pin, 13 amp plug
conforming to BS 1363A)
a. 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 yellow or green and
yellow.
b. The BLUE wire must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter “N”
or coloured black.
c. The BROWN wire must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter “L”
or coloured red.
2.2 Non-polarized plugs (e.g. 2 pin with side
earth contact)
The wire which is coloured GREEN AND
YELLOW must be connected to the earth
contact. The other two wires should be
connected to the two pins, irrespective of
colour.
3) FUSE REPLACEMENT
If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with
a BS 1363A 13 amp fused plug, replace the
fuse only with an A.S.T.A. approved type
conforming to BS 1362 and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and the fuse (B).
2. Fit the replacement 13 A fuse into the fuse
cover.
3. Refit both into the plug.
For all other types of plug, the supply socket
should be protected by a 16 A fuse or circuit
breaker at the distribution board.
