Electrical requirements

Check that the voltage on the rating plate of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply which must be A.C. (Alternating Current).

If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, the plug should be re moved and the appropriate one fitted.

WARNING : The plug removed from the mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed, as a plug with a bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket outlet.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require changing, a 13 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
