Unassigned fuse slots are not listed in the following
overviews.
1. If possible, switch off the load with the defective
fuse.
2. Open the relevant fuse box cover.
3. If necessary, carefully remove the purple plastic
strip over the fuses.
4. Remove the fuse from its slot using the plastic
gripper B in order to check it. A blown fuse can
be identified by the melted metal strip.
5. Insert a new fuse. The replacement fuse must
have the same rated current as the one it is
replacing.
6. Fit the purple plastic strip back into place.
If the same fuse blows repeatedly, the cause of the
fault must be corrected immediately.
