13A must be used and fitted with a 13A fuse “ASTA” ap-
proved to BS 1363.

If you replace the fuse, the cover must be refitted.  If the 
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement 
has been obtained from your supplier.  The color of the fuse 
cover is that of the insert in the base of the fuse recess or 
elsewhere on the plug.  Always state this color when order-
ing a replacement cover.

If your appliance has a moulded plug, you do NOT have to 
do the following assembly as shown in Figure 2.  Appliances 
with moulded plugs are ready to use as is.

IMPORTANT: The wires should be connected to the termi-
nals of the plug as follows:

• 

Earth to the terminal marked E or coloured Green or 
Green/Yellow.

• 

Neutral to the terminal marked N or coloured Blue.

• 

Live to the terminal marked L or coloured Brown.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are 
retained in each terminal.  The flexible main cable, plug and 
socket must not be exposed to flue products or be allowed 
to come in contact with a hot surface.  The cable must not 
be trapped or pulled taut when the appliance is pushed into 
position.

THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, 
BE UNEARTHED.

Electrical Connection

Use nominal 230 VAC, 50 Hz only.  

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  All external wiring 
must comply with the IEE Regulations for the Electrical Equip-
ment of Buildings.  Connections to the electrical supply can 
be made with either a plug and socket or be permanently 
wired via a double-pole switch.

The appliance is supplied with a 250VAC PVC (85 degrees 
C) core cable (0.5mm x 2 metres long).  Any replacement 
cable fitted must follow this specification.  The unit may be 
supplied with either a moulded or rewirable plug.  Should 
the plug not fit the socket at the installation site, it should be 
removed and replaced with the correct type of plug.

If a moulded plug is fitted which is not suitable, it must be 
removed and disposed of.  To avoid the risk of electrocu-
tion, a plug must not be left where a child may plug it into a 
supply socket.  It must not be used for any other appliance.
