countries having similar wiring standards
are shipped from the factory without a plug
for connection to the mains.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue - Neutral (N) Brown - Live (L)
As the colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance may not correspond

terminals in your plug, proceed as follows;
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.

connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
If a 13 Amp. (BS 1363) plug is used a 3
Amp. fuse must be fitted, or if any other
type of plug is used a 5 Amp. fuse must be
fitted either in the plug or adaptor or at the
distribution board.
