Electrical

requirements

Check that the voltage on the rating plate

of your appliance corresponds with your

house electricity supply which must be A.C.

(Alternating Current).

If the socket outlets in your home are not

suitable for the plug supplied with this

appliance, the plug should be removed and

the appropriate one fitted.

If you cut off the plug and let go of the

cable it will rewind into the machine.

Therefore you must pull out a length of cable

and secure it before cutting off the plug and

refitting a new one.

WARNING: The plug removed from

the mains lead, if severed, must be

destroyed as a plug with bared flexible

cord is hazardous if engaged into a live

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug

require replacement, a BS1362 13 amp fuse

must be fitted.
