Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily
accessible wall socket which is adjacent to, and not more than 1.25m away from the
appliance and capable of electrical isolation.
Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your home it should be cut off and replaced
with a suitable plug as outlined below.
NOTE: The removed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be
properly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply
socket – with the obvious consequent danger.
IF THE FITTED PLUG IS REMOVED
The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected as below to a three pin plug of not
less than 13 amp capacity. If a B.S. 1363 fused plug is used, it must be fitted with a 3
amp fuse which is approved to B.S. 1362.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW – EARTH
BLUE
– NEUTRAL
BROWN
– LIVE
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 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 terminal. Do not
forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. As the appliance must be earthed, do
not use 2-pin sockets outlets, if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be
carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the
same size i.e. 0.75mm

IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED
In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied a 3 amp ASTA approved fuse to
BS1362 must be fitted.
NOTE: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the
fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained
and fitted. A new fuse cover can be obtained from your local Electricity Board. The colour
of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in the base
of the plug.
