help with electricity wiring colours

[Lee Perry]

I have just bought an electric towel rail / radiator that needs to be connected directly to the mains. Unlike all other French appliances I have bought, the wires are coloured and labelled as follows;

marron; phase

gris/bleu; neutre

noir; pilote

Can anyone tell me which is the earth ??

With thanks,

Lee

None of the above colours are earth. The ONLY colour allowed for earth is green/yellow.

The likelyhood is that the heater is double insulated, or rated CLASS II and therefore does not need an earth connection.
