Mains plug replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
Should your mains plug need replacing and
you are competent to do this, proceed as
instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact
an authorised repair agent or a qualified
electrician.
Disconnect the plug from the supply and
remove the fuse from the plug.
Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
at the connection points of most good quality
plugs. Attach the wires to their respective
points in the plug (see above). Brown is for
Live (L) (2), blue is for Neutral (N) (4) and
green/yellow is for Earth (E).
The earth wire should be of a length to ensure
that in the event of the cable being pulled
from the plug, the earth wire is the last to
break contact.
Before replacing the top cover of the mains
plug ensure that the cable restraint (3)
is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly
and that the leads are correctly fixed at the
terminal screws.
If the plug has a fuse cover, make sure that the
fuse cover is fitted. Do not use the plug if the
fuse cover is missing or damaged.
Never use a light socket.
