INDEX

Important

notes

for

users

in

the

U.K.:

Mains

plug

This

apparatus

is

fitted

with

an

approved

moulded

13

Amp

plug.

To

change

a

fuse

in

this

type

of

plug

proceed

as

follows:

1

Remove

fuse

cover

and

fuse.

2

Fix

new

fuse

which

should

be

a

BS1362

5

AMR

A.S.T.A.

or

BSI

approved

type.

3

Refit

the

fuse

cover.

If

the

fitted

plug

is

not

suitable

for

your

socket

outlets,

it

should

be

cut

off

and

an

appropriate

plug

fitted

in

its

place.

If

the

mams

plug

contains

a

fuse,

this

should

have

a

value

of

5

A.

If

a

plug

without

a

fuse

is

used,

the

fuse

at

the

distribution

board

should

not

be

greater

than

5

A.

Note:

The

severed

plug

must

be

disposed

to

avoid

a

possible

shock

hazard

should

it

be

inserted

into

a

13

A

socket

elsewhere.

How

to

connect

a

plug

The

wires

in

the

mains

lead

are

coloured

in

accordance

with

the

following

code:

blue

=

neutral

(N),

brown

=

live

(L).

As

these

colours

may

not

correspond

with

the

colour

markings

identifying

the

terminals

in

your

plug,

proceed

as

follows:

1

Connect

the

blue

wire

to

the

terminal

marked

N

or

coloured

blue

or

black.

2

Connect

the

brown

wire

to

the

terminal

marked

L

or

coloured

brown

or

red.

3

Do

not

connect

either

wire

to

the

earth

terminal

in

the

plug,

marked

E

or

T

or

coloured

green

or

green-and-yellow.

Before

replacing

the

plug

cover,

make

certain

that

the

cord

grip

is

clamped

over

the

sheath

of

the

lead

-

not

simply

over

the

two

wires.

If

in

doubt,

consult

a

qualified

electrician.
