Mains plug
This apparatus is fi tted 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 Refi t the fuse cover.
If the fi tted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fi tted 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.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed off
to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with
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:
•
Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or coloured black.
•
Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
•
Do not connect either wire to the earth
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of
the lead - not simply over the two wires.
