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.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed off to avoid a possible
shock hazaed 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 N or
coloured red.

- Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the

plug, marked E (or ) or coloured green (or green and

yellow).
