Replacing the Fitted Plug (UK)
Important
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp plug
and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you must re-fit
the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. If you have
lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you have another fuse cover. Please
contact the people from you purchased the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be suitable.
However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13 amp plug
sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded
plug.
Warning
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you plug it
into a socket.
Important warning: You must earth this machine
The wires in the mains lead have the following colour code:
• Green and Yellow: Earth

the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter ‘E’,
or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or coloured green and yellow or green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or
coloured black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter ‘L’
or coloured red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.
