STEP 1 Electricity Supply
WARNING: The appliance must be earthed.
Fuses
Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A) fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change the fuse lift the holder to vertical position and lift the fuse out. To replace the fuse, insert the fuse and push fuse holder down into the locked position. Correct replacement is identified by colour coding or the marking on base of plug.
WARNING: Do not use the plug unless the fuse holder is in the locked position and the top cover firmly replaced.

We strongly advise that fitting a new lead is carried out by a qualified electrician.
Seek professional advice if you need to use an extension lead.
Changing the Plug
If you need to change your plug, if it does not fit your socket: isolate the machine from the mains supply. Cut off the supplied plug and safely dispose of the discarded plug. DO NOT plug into any other socket.
NOTE: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead may not match the colour of the markings which show the different terminals in the plug. You must wire it as shown below:
Green and yellow (Earth) wire to terminal marked ‘E’, symbol 
, or coloured
green and yellow.
Blue (Neutral) wire to 
terminal marked ‘N’ or
coloured black.
13A ASTA approved fuse to BS1362.
Brown (Live) wire to terminal marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
