ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This product is provided with a standard 13 amp, 230 volt (50Hz), BS 1363 plug, for
connection to a standard, domestic electrical supply. Should the plug need changing at
any time, ensure that a plug of identical specification is used.
WARNING
This appliance is double insulated and the two wires in the mains lead should be
connected in accordance with the following coulour code:
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
• Connect the BLUE couloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter “N”

If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded on to the electric cable (i.e. non-rewireable)
please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is a danger of
electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the correct replacement is
used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local Clarke dealer or most electrical
stockists.
Fuse Rating
The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (3 amps) and this
replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
