IMPORTANT:
If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to fit an appropriate

a shock hazard. The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured 
in accordance with the following code.
•Green-and-yellow : Earth
•Blue : Neutral
•Brown : Live
As the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the 
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 by the letter “E” or by the safety earth 
symbol   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.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which 
is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.
