Hotpoint WMTL80 - Manual (Page 4)

Make sure that the electrical socket is accessible. Take the mains lead from the back of
the machine and plug it into the socket. We do not recommend wiring your machine
directly into the mains supply.
Changing the Mains Lead
If you have damaged the existing lead and need a new one, contact Hotpoint Service UK
on 08709 066066 or www.theservicecentre.co.uk (or in the Republic of Ireland on 1850
302 200). A charge will be made. We strongly advise that fitting a new lead is carried out
by a qualified electrician.
Changing the Plug
If you need to change your plug if it does not fit your socket; isolate the machine from
the mains supply. Cut off the supplied plug and safely dispose of the discarded plug.
Note: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead may not match the
colour of the markings which show different terminals in the plug. You must wire it as
shown below.
Fuses
Your machine comes fitted with a plug and a 13amp (13A) fuse. If you need to replace
the fuse, use only those rated at 13amp (13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change
the fuse, lift the holder to vertical position and lift the fuse out. To replace the fuse, insert
the fuse and push the fuse holder down into the locked position. Correct replacement is
identified by colour coding or the marking on the base of plug.
WARNING: Do not use plug unless the fuse holder is in the locked position and the top cover
firmly replaced.
CE marking certifies that this appliance conforms to the following
