Plug Fitting Instructions (UK only)
The
cord supplied with this appliance is factory-fitted with a
UK
mains
plug fitted with a 5-amp fuse inside. If
it
is
necessary to change
the fuse, it is important that a 5-amp fuse is used. If the plug needs
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 must then
be
disposed of safely,
as insertion into a mains socket is likely to cause
an
electrical hazard.
Should it
be
necessary to fit a 3-pin
BS
mains plug to the power cord, the
wires should be fitted as shown
in
this diagram.
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. Connect them 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
.
The
wire which is coloured GREEN/
YELLOW
must
be
connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter 'E'
or coloured
GREEN.
