Connection
Make sure that you have an earthed
power outlet socket rated at 13 amps
(minimum).
9.1 Attention!
When installed, the socket must be
reachable after installation, or a separate
switch (which can disconnect the two
poles) must be used in the installation.
Check for suitability.
For a permanent connection, a master
switch with at least 3mm contact
clearance and minimum 13 A rating
must be used.
9.2 Electrical requirements
Before you insert the plug into the wall
socket make sure that the voltage and
the frequency shown in the rating label
corresponds to your electricity supply.
We recommend that this appliance be
connected to the mains supply via a
suitable switched and fused socket in a
readily accessible position.
Should the mains lead of the appliance
become damaged or need replacing at
any time, it must be replaced by a special
purpose made mains lead which can only
be obtained from an Authorised Service
Agent.

If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable
for your socket, then the plug should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted.
The moulded plug on this appliance
incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse
need to be replaced an ASTA approved
BS1362 fuse of the same rating must

cover. In the event of losing the fuse
cover, the plug must not be used until a
replacement fuse cover has been fitted.

must be the same colour as that visible
on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers
are available from any good electrical
