Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate of
your appliance corresponds with your house
electricity supply which must be A.C. (Alter-
nating current).
For appliances with fitted plug.
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance the plug should be removed and the
appropriate one fitted.
If you cut off the plug and let go of the
cable it will rewind into the machine. Therefore
you must pull out a length of cable and secure
it before cutting off the plug and refitting a
new one.
WARNING : The plug removed from the
mains lead, if severed, must be de-
stroyed as a plug with bared flexible
cord is hazardous if engaged into a live
socket outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require
changing a 13 amp BS1362 fuse must be
fitted.
