Installation

3.7 Electrical connection

Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a 13 A fuse. Our company shall not be liable for any damages that will arise when the product is used without grounding in accordance with the local regulations.

Connection must comply with national regulations.

Power cable plug must be within easy reach after installation.

If the current value of the fuse or breaker in the house is less than 13 Amps, have a qualified electrician install a 13 Amp fuse.

The voltage specified in the "Technical specifications" section must be equal to your mains voltage.

Do not make connections via extension cables or multi-plugs.

B WARNING: Damaged power cables must be replaced by the Authorized Service Agents.

Electrical requirements

Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply.

We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position. Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a Authorised Service Agent.

B WARNING: This appliance must be earthed

If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted.

Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house.

The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any good electrical store.

Important

Fitting a different plug

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows:

1Connect the green - yellow or green (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol f or coloured green and yellow or green.

2Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.

3Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.

With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.
