Electrical connection

This heater must be used on an A.C.~ supply only and the voltage
marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage. This heater
is fitted with a plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. When replacing the
fuse, a 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362 must be used.
If the plug is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home, the plug
must be cut off and an appropriate one fitted. A plug cut off from a
mains lead will give a shock hazard if inserted into a 13 amp socket
elsewhere in the house. To avoid this, it should be disposed of
immediately.
