Fuse ratings guide:

Although most mains plugs are fitted with a 13Ampere fuse when purchased, The following should be used as a guide regarding the rating of the fuse used For any particular appliance:

Appliances up to 500 watts: use a 3 Ampere fuse

Appliances between 500 and 1000 Watts:(1Kw) use a 5 Ampere fuse

Appliances over 1000 Watts:(1.00Kw) use a 13 Ampere fuse

 

Although in recent times it has become common practice to use only two fuse Ratings:-

 

Appliances up to about 700watts use a 3 Amp fuse

Appliances over 700 watts use a 13 Amp fuse

When fitting, the cable grip should act upon the outer sheath of the cable and not the individual conductors.

The GREEN or GREEN & YELLOW cable should be connected to the E or Earth terminal.

If possible more slack should be left in this conductor than the other two, so that if the cable is pulled too severely it will break off last.

The BLUE conductor should be connected to the N (Neutral) Pin

The BROWN (or RED) conductor should be connected to the L (Live) Pin

With all connections care should be taken not to allow loose strands of wire To remain outside of the terminals when the wiring is completed.
