The rating plate can be found behind the grease filters, on the motor.
We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply with the I.E.E. and local regulations. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following UK code: Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live, Green/Yellow = Ground If you only find two wires in the main’s lead (blue and brown), then neither must be connected to the earth terminal.
