the appliance are shown on the rating
label at the rear.
• When connecting to the mains the
programme selector must be in the
»Stop« position.
A damaged power cable must be re-
B
placed by an authorised qualified electrician. Until the appliance has been
repaired it must not be operated! Risk
of electric shock!
The right plug
This appliance comes with a fitted plug.
If this plug is not suitable for your socket
outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted (see below). The cut off
plug should be disposed of immediately to
prevent the possibility of electric shocks,
should it be plugged into a socket.
In the event of losing the fuse cover, the
plug must not be used until a replacement
fuse cover has been fitted; it can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer.
The colour of the correct replacement fuse
cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in the base of the plug.
If the plug fitted is the moulded on type,
the fuse is a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse
to BS 1362.
With alternative plugs a 15 amp fuse must
be fitted either in the plug or in the mains
fuse box.
Fitting a different plug
The wires in the mains cable are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow – Earth
Blue – Neutral
Brown – Live
If you fit your own plug the colours of
these wires may not correspond with the
identifying marks on the plug terminals.
