Electrical requirements
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product
corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you are in any doubt about
your supply contact your local electricity company.
The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13
amp capacity. Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off
and replaced with a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be prop-
erly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket -
with the obvious consequent danger.
N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched
off when the machine is not in use.
important: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may 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 in the
plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or
green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected 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.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each termi-
nal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply
point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be car-
ried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the
same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is
lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the
correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess
or elsewhere on the plug.Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio inter-
ference.
