3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that the voltage of the socket corresponds to the
voltage requirement indicated on the appliance, and that the electrical socket and the mains supply to the
socket is rated at 13amps. It is important to ensure that the socket is adequately earthed.
This appliance complies with EEC Directive 89/336 relating to electromagnetic compatibility.
A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut
off from the mains lead, and on appropriate plug fitted, as below. WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after
removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative
plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover
must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover,
the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the
correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.
