Electrical connection
This heater must be used on an A.C. ~ supply only and the

by ASTA to BS 1362 must be used.
If the plug is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home,
the plug must be cut off and an appropriate one tted. A
plug cut off from a mains lead will give a shock hazard if
inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house. To
avoid this, it should be disposed of immediately.
NOTE: The fuse cover of a non-rewirable plug must be
retted when changing the fuse. Should the cover become
