MAINS CONNECTION
Your unit has been supplied with a mains lead with a fitted moulded plug. This is identified by the fuse holder in the base of the plug. Please read the following safety instructions before use.
1If the moulded plug is cut off from the mains lead then the plug must be disposed of safely.
2NEVER under any circumstances insert such a plug into a 13 amp socket.
3NEVER under any circumstances use the appliance without the fuse cover fitted. This is the little cover fixed into the base of the plug to hold the fuse in place.
If you lose the fuse cover then please contact any electrical dealer for a replacement or ring our helpline.
4A replacement fuse must be rated at 13amp. The fuse must be manufactured and approved to BS1362.
5IF IN ANY DOUBT PLEASE CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN.
If you need to fit a plug to the mains lead, this should be fitted in accordance with the wiring instructions as shown below, and will need to be used with a 13 amp fuse. If in doubt consult an electrician.
If you are using an extension lead it must be rated at a minimum of 10 amps and fully unwound. Do not operate with a lead rated at less than 10 amps as this will cause premature failure of the element which is not covered by the guarantee.
As 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, proceed 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.
