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 re
moved and the appropriate one fitted.
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.

amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
