De'Longhi GB-376IDL Owner's Manual

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (U.K. ONLY)

The flexible mains lead is supplied
connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having
a fuse of 13 amp capacity.Should this plug
not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should
be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug,
following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any
other appliance and should therefore be
properly disposed of, (having removed the
fuse) and not left where children might find it
and plug it into a supply socket - with the
obvious consequent danger.
If the plug is a moulded-on type the fuse cover
must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug
must not be used until a replacement cover is
obtained. The colour of the correct replacement
fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the
base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug.
Always state this colour when ordering a
replacement fuse cover.
N.B. We recommend the use of good quality
plugs and wall sockets that can be switched
off when the machine is not in use.
IMPORTANT: the wires in the mains lead
fitted to this appliance are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and
yellow must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter E or
by the earth symbol or coloured green
or green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all
strands of wire are securely retained in
each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the
mains lead clamp on the plug. If your
electricity supply point has only two pin
socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult
a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require
replacement, it is essential that this
operation be carried out by a qualified
electrician and should only be replaced
with a flexible cord of the same size.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are
ASTA approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN
55014 regarding the suppression of radio
interference.

Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product
corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you are in any doubt
about your supply contact your local electricity company.
