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 the plug off and
re-fitting a new one.
WARNING: The plug
removed from the mains
lead, if severed, must be
destroyed, as a plug with a
bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged into a
live socket outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp
plug require changing, a 13
amp BS1362 fuse must be
fitted.
