ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
1) ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
“Warning - this appliance must be
earthed”
This appliance is normally supplied with a
mains lead having a plug fitted in the factory
which has been checked for correct earth
continuity.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlet, or if the machine’s mains lead is not
fitted with a plug, you should fit a suitable new,
good quality plug by following the instructions in
(2) below.
Any unsuitable plug should be cut off and
disposed of in order to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a socket.

PLUG - to be carried out only by a
qualified electrician
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLOW - “EARTH” (“E”)
To fit a new plug, proceed as follows:
2.1Polarized Plugs (e.g. 3 pin, 13 amp plug
