3. Connect your machine to the electricity supply
Make sure that the electrical socket is accessible. Take the mains lead from the back of the machine and plug it into the socket. We do not recommend wiring your machine directly into the mains supply.
Changing the mains lead
If you have damaged the existing lead and need a new one, contact Hotpoint Service UK on 08709 066066 or www.theservicecentre.co.uk (or in the Republic of Ireland on 1850 302 200). A charge will be made. We strongly advise that fitting the new lead is carried out by a qualified electrician.
Changing the plug
If you need to change your plug, ie. if it does not fit your socket; isolate the machine from the mains supply. Cut off the supplied plug and safely dispose of the discarded plug. Note: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead may not match the colour of the markings which show the different terminals in the plug. You must wire it as shown below.

Fuses
Your machine comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A) fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change the fuse, lift the holder to vertical position and lift the fuse out. To replace the fuse, insert the fuse and push the fuse holder down into the locked position. Correct replacement is identified by colour coding or the marking on the base of plug.
WARNING:
Do not use the plug unless the fuse holder is in the locked position and the top cover firmly replaced.
We do not recommend the use of extension leads. If you need to do so, consult a qualified electrician.
