ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage indicated on
the machine rating plate, which can be found inside the filter door - front bottom right hand corner.
Warning – This appliance must be earthed.
The mains lead of the appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13 amp fused plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug, proceed as follows:
1 Remove the fuse cover (A) and the fuse (Fig 4).
2 Fit a replacement fuse which should be BS 1362 13 amp.
Important:
1 The fuse cover must be replaced after changing a fuse.
2 In the event of a fuse cover being misplaced, the plug must not be used until a correct replacement is fitted.
3 Please ensure that the replacement fuse cover is of the same colour as the insert or has the colour
embossed in words on the base of the plug.
4 For replacement fuse covers please consult your local electrical store.
Please state the colour of your plug insert.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and disposed of immediately to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 amp fuse elsewhere. A suitable alternative plug
should then be fitted to a cable.
Warning – This appliance must be earthed.
