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.

Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362

2.

5 Amp, A .S .T.A. or BSI approved type.

Re t the fuse cover.

3.

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.
