Electrical Connection
Power supply voltage and frequency: 220-240V a.c.
50/60Hz.
! The supply cable must be positioned so that it never
reaches at any point a temperature 50°C higher than
the room temperature. The cable must be routed away
from the rear vents. Should you require it, you may use
a longer cable, however, you must ensure that the
cable supplied with the appliance is replaced by one
of the same specifications in accordance with current
standards and legislation.
Your appliance is supplied with a 13 amp fused plug
that can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for
immediate use. Before using the appliance please
read the instructions below.
! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE
CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used,
and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost,
the plug must not be used until a replacement is
obtained.
Replacement fuse covers
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the
correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or
the colour that is embossed in words on the base of
the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from
your nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug
and you should wish to remove it to add a cable
extension or to re-route the mains cable through
partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:
• the plug is replaced by a fused 13 amp re-wireable
plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
or:
• the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp
cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance
with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving
the appliance.
Please note: for appliances with a rating greater than
13 amp (eg: electric hob, double ovens and
freestanding electric cookers etc.) the mains cable
must be wired into a cooker output point with a rating
of 45 amp. In this case the cable is not supplied.
Disposing of the plug
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be
accidentally inserted into a socket. Instructions for
connecting cable to an alternative plug:
! The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead do not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E”
or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect Brown wire to terminal marked “L” or
coloured Red.
Connect Blue wire to terminal marked “N” or coloured
Black.
If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted
with a 13 amp fuse. A 15 amp plug must be protected
by a 15 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at
the distribution board. If you are in any doubt about
the electrical supply to your machine, consult a
qualified electrician before use.
How to connect an alternative plug
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
BLUE “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN “LIVE” (“L”)

Disposing of the appliance
