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.
2) CONNECTION TO A REWIRABLE 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 
conforming to BS 1363A)
a.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 yellow or green and 
yellow.
b.The BLUE wire must be connected to the 
terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or 
coloured black.
c.The BROWN wire must be connected to the 
terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or 
coloured red.
2.2Non-polarized plugs (e.g. 2 pin with side 
earth contact)
The wire which is coloured GREEN AND 
YELLOW must be connected to the earth contact. 
The other two wires should be connected to the 
two pins, irrespective of colour.
3) FUSE REPLACEMENT
If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a 
BS 1363A 13 amp fused plug, replace the fuse 
only with an A.S.T.A. approved type conforming to 
BS 1362 and proceed as follows:
1.Remove the fuse cover (A) and the fuse (B).
2.Fit the replacement 13 A fuse into the fuse 
cover.
3.Refit both into the plug.
