use of the appliance.
• Use the supplied mat with compact generator,
and keep iron in a horizontal position.
Replacing the fuse
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA appro-
ved 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 re-route the mains cable throu-
gh partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:
• the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewi-
reable 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 complian-
ce with BS 5733) which is accessible without
moving the appliance.
Disposing of the plug
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be acciden-
tally inserted into a socket.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
