INSTALLATION

For your own safety read the following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this unit to mains.

Moulded plugs

Should it be necessary to remove a moulded on plug from the mains cable, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable replacement.

If the terminals in the plug are unmarked or you are in any doubt as to the correct connections, consult a qualified electrician.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code

Blue	Neutral
Brown	Live

As the colour of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your replacement plug proceed as follows.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with letter L or coloured red.

The moulded plug cannot be used for any other appliance, therefore remove the fuse and dispose immediately and safely to prevent anyone, especially children from plugging it in to a wall socket, which will create a safety hazard.

After replacement of the fuse in the moulded plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost a replacement cover must be obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug or the colour that is embossed in words in the base of the plug recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.

Only 5 amp. replacement fuses which are ASTA approved to BS 1362 should be fitted. (U.K. Only)

We recommend the use of a good quality plug.
