All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK).
The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable and moulded plug ready for
connection to an a.c. single phase
220-240 V 50 Hz supply.
Please ensure that the connection data
quoted on the data plate match the
household mains supply.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket which is easily
accessible. It must not be located
behind the appliance. For extra safety it
is advisable to protect the appliance
with a suitable residual current device
(RCD).
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance must not be connected
to the inverter of an autonomous power
supply, e.g. a solar power system.
When switching the appliance on, a
surge in power could trigger the safety
cut-out mechanism. This could damage
the electronic unit.
The appliance must not be used with
so-called energy saving devices. These
reduce the energy supply to the
appliance which could then become
too warm. Using such devices could
alter the specification of the product.If the connection cable has to be
replaced, this must be done by a
suitably qualified and competent
person.
Do not plug other appliances in behind

The fuse cover must be re-fitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover
is lost, the plug must not be used until a

is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is
embossed in words in the base of the

on which models are suitable.
Follow the instructions for the other
appliance on how to install the two
appliances side by side.
