CONNECTING TO MAINS SUPPLY

This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non­rewireable plug the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not
be used until a replacement available from the appliance manufacturer is obtained. It is important that
the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the colour marking on the base of the plug.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug
removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical
hazard.

strongly recommended that you follow the listed guidelines in order to prevent possible damage or loss
of hearing.

ESTABLISH A SAFE SOUND LEVEL

Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give the impression that the
volume has in fact been reduced. What seems normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard against
this set the volume at a low level.

BEFORE YOUR HEARING ADAPTS

Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without distortion.
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is irreversible.
Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume is too loud.
Remember listening for prolonged period of time at high volume levels will harm your hearing.

Once you have established a comfortable listening level, DO NOT INCREASE THE SOUND
LEVEL FURTHER.

The following list of typical sound levels may assist you in recognising just how loud you have set the
volume level.
