Mains Cord

This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If

it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug

the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or

damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement

available from the appliance manufacturer is obtained.

It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover

corresponds with the rating marking on the base of the

plug.

If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for

your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and

an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions

below. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as

insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical

hazard. For your own safety read the following instructions

carefully before attempting to connect this unit to mains.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance

with the following code:

BLUE=NEUTRAL, BROWN=LIVE

Important

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appli-

ance may not correspond with the coloured markings iden-

tifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:-

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.

No connection is to be made to the earth terminal of the

plug.

If a 13 Amp (BS 1363) Plug is used, a 3 Amp Fuse must be

fitted, of if any other type of Plug is used a 3 or 5 Amp

Fuse must be fitted, either in the Plug or Adaptor, or on the

Distribution Board.
