Electrical requirements

Check that the voltage on the rating

plate corresponds with your house electricity which must be A.C. (alternating current).

If the socket outlets in your home are not

suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance the plug should be removed and the appropriate one fitted.

If you cut off the plug and let go of the

cable it will rewind into the machine. Therefore you must pull out a length of cable and secure it before cutting off the plug and refitting a new one.

IMPORTANT: The plug removed from

the mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed as a plug with a bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket outlet.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug

require changing a 13 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.
