2.Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.
3.Refit both into plug.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then it
should be cut off and disposed of in order to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
A suitable alternative plug should then be fitted to the cable.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLOW - “EARTH” (“E”)
1.The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by
the Earth symbol
2.The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “N” or coloured black.
3.The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.
For the Republic of Ireland only
The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently
apply, but a third type of plug and socket is also used, the
