ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This appliance is fitted with a fused three pin plug to BS1363 which is suitable for use in all
homes fitted with sockets to current specifications. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your
socket outlets, it should be cut off and carefully disposed of. To avoid an electric shock, do
not insert the discarded plug into a socket.
FITTING A NEW PLUG
If for any reason you need to fit a new plug, the flexible mains lead must be connected as
shown here. The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Connect BLUE to Neutral (N)
Connect GREEN & YELLOW to Earth (E)
Connect BROWN to Live (L)
13 amp fuse to be used
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance do not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which
is coloured green and yellow MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter E (Earth) or coloured green. The wire which is coloured blue MUST be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N (Neutral) or coloured black. The wire which is
coloured brown MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L (Live)
or coloured red.
Before refitting the plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of wire inside the
plug. Use a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. Only BSI or ASTA approved fuses should be used. If you are
at all unsure which plug or fuse to use, always refer to a qualified electrician.
Note: after replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded plug which has a fuse cover, the cover
must be refitted to the plug; the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover. If lost,
replacement fuse covers can be obtained from an electrical shop. This appliance complies
with the following EEC Directives: 73/23 EEC (Low Voltage Directive) and 89/336 EEC (EMC
Directive).
