fMPORTANT	Machines	for	Great

Britain and some otfier countries having similar wiring standards are shipped from the factory without a plug for connection to the mains.

The wires in the main lead are coloured according to code.

Bfue: Neutral (N)

Brown: Live (L)

As the colours of the wires in the main lead of this appliance may not always correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Tlie wire which is coloured blue must be

connected	to	the	terminal	which is
marked with the letter N				or coloured
black.
The wire	which	is	coloured	brown must

be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. If a 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3

amp

fuse

must

be

fitted, or if any other

type of plug is used, a
