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.
