Fuse replacement
If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS
1363A 13amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type
of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type
and proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).
2.
Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.
3.
Refit both into plug.
Important:
The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse
and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used
until a correct replacement is fitted.
Correct replacement are identified by the colour
insert or the colour embossed in words on the base
of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your local
electrical store.
Connection to a rewirable plug
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet,
then it should be cut off and disposed of in order to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted
into a 13A socket elsewhere.
A suitable alternative plug should then be fitted to the
cable.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
BLUE - NEUTRAL (N)
BROWN- LIVE (L)
GREEN AND YELLOW - EARTH (E)
1.
The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter E or by the Earth
symbol or coloured green or green and
yellow.
2.
The BLUE wire must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.
3.
The BROWN wire must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured red.
For the Republic of Ireland only
The information given in respect of Great Britain will
frequently apply, but a third type of plug and socket is
also used, the 2-pin, side earth type. In this case, the
wire which is coloured GREEN AND YELLOW must
be connected to the EARTH contact, and the two
wires to the two pins, irrespective of colour. The
supply to the socket must be fitted with a 16 amp
fuse.
