Hitachi DVP420UK Instruction Manual page 3

IMPORTANT!
The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a
moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is
indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be
replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used
of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the
plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is
required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the
pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your
dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug
fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the
cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an
appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your
dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be
carried out by a competent person, preferably a qualified
electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that
you dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to
avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
IMPORTANT!
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue : NEUTRAL
Brown : LIVE
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire
coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked
with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal
marked E or by the earth symbol
green and yellow.
Alternatively, this equipment may be supplied with a rewireable
plug already fitted, which may be removed if not suitable and an
alternative fitted in accordance with the preceding instructions.
