ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Check that the voltage on

your house electricity
supply 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 the

WARNING: 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.
