Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed
as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket

outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains
a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a
plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the dis­tribution board should not be greater than 5
Amp.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other
than herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure or other unsafe
operation.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inser­ted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown =
live (L).

•• As these colours may not correspond with the

colour markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
