Important for United Kingdom
The mains lead on this equipment is 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 BS1362 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. 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 the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured
marking 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.
