FOR UK ONLY
• The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code.
• Blue - NEUTRAL Brown - LIVE.
• If your appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable
mains plug which is not suitable for the socket
outlets in your home, the plug must be cut off
and an appropriate one fitted.
NOTE:
• A plug cut off from a flexible cord will give a
shock hazard if inserted in a 13 amp socket
elsewhere in the house. To avoid this, it should
be disposed of immediately.
• If you are fitting an alternative type of plug then
the colours of the wires in the mains lead of the
appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals on
your plug. In this case proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured BLUE must be con-
nected 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.
NOTE:
• If a 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used a 13 amp
(BS 1362) fuse must be fitted either in the plug,
adaptor or at the fuse board.
NOTE:
• The fuse cover of a non-rewireable plug must be
refitted when changing the fuse. Should the fuse
cover become lost, the plug must not be used
until the correct replacement fuse cover is
obtained from our service department or stockist.
Electrical connection:
• The connecting cable must be connected to the
terminal appropriate to the markings L, N and
(see illustration).
• Proceed with caution when drilling holes!
• For installation of the appliance, care must be
taken not to damage concealed cables. For this
reason, drilling holes above and below wall
power points must be avoided.
Only switch on the appliance when installation is
complete.
Switching on for the first time:
• After switching on the appliance for the first
time and following extended periods on non-
use, the appliance may smell for a short time.
• Upon switching on the equipment, a slight
vibration of the heating element may occur. This
is normal and will cease after a few seconds.
Cleaning:
• First, disconnect the equipment from the power
supply system (switch off the fuse unit)!
• After the appliance has cooled down, the hous-
ing can be wiped dry.
