MAINS PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

The mains lead of this equipment is already fitted with a mains plug which is either a non-rewireable

(moulded) or a rewireable type. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved fuse

to BS1362 marked

or

and of the same rating as the one removed from the plug must

be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use the plug without

the fuse cover fitted.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied

either cut-off the moulded plug (if this type is fitted) or remove by undoing the screws if a rewireable

plug is fitted and fit an appropriate type observing the wiring code below.

DANGER: The fuse should be removed from the cut-off plug and the plug destroyed immediately

and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted

elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN-AND-YELLOW: Earth

BLUE:

Neutral

BROWN:

Live

As the colours of the wires in this mains lead may not correspond with coloured markings

identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug

which is marked with the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol

Å@

, or coloured green or green-

and-yellow.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter

N or coloured black.
