Fuse replacement.
If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A
13 amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug
use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed
as follows:
1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.
3. Refit both into plug.
Important: The fuse cover must be refitted when
changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must
not be used until a correct replacement is fitted.
Correct replacement are identified by the colour insert or
the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your local
electrical store.
Connection to a rewireable plug
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then
it should be cut off and disposed of in order to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A
socket elsewhere.
A suitable altenative plug should then be fitted to the cable.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code;
BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLOW - “EARTH” (“E”)
1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to
the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E”
or by the Earth symbol
or coloured green or green and
