•Do not store the appliance near hot ovens

or heating appliances.

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 socket

outlet.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require

replacement, a BS1362 13 amp fuse must be

fitted.

heat may effect the material.
