CONNECTION TO POWER

Before Switching on make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate.

Mains Cord

This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement available from the appliance manufacturer is obtained. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the rating marking on the base of the plug. If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. For your own safety read the following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this unit to mains. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE=NEUTRAL, BROWN=LIVE

(For the area of Great Britain)

Important

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 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. No connection is to be made to the earth terminal of the plug. If a 13 Amp (BS 1363) Plug is used, a 3 Amp Fuse must be fitted, of if any other type of Plug is used a 3 or 5 Amp Fuse must be fitted, either in the Plug or Adaptor, or on the Distribution Board. Mains Supply: 220 - 240 V

50 Hz - AC only

Do not make any connection to the larger pin marked with the letter “E” or by the symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
