If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the colour of the markings identifying terminals in the plug. You should therefore wire it as shown (see illustration). If the mains lead needs to be replaced at any time, it should be replaced by a special lead obtainable from your local authorised Creda Service Centre.
A charge will be made if you have damaged the existing lead or require a longer one. It is strongly advised that this work is carried out by a qualified electrician.
CE marking certifies that this appliance complies with requirements laid down in EEC Directive 89:336 (Electromagnetic compatibility) and subsequent modifications and Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC.

★For your safety and to comply with IEE regulations, you should not install your appliance in a bath or shower room. Seek professional advice if you wish to do so.
★Ensure sufficient space is allowed for the appliance. Dimensions should be a minimum of:- 600mm Wide (235/8”), 600mm Deep (235/8”) and 900mm High (351/2”).
★Ensure the electrical socket and water taps are easily accessible and that the water supply can be isolated if necessary.
