• Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same

as that indicated on the rating plate.

• This product is designed to operate on 220 – 240V AC; 50Hz. Connection to any other

power source may damage the unit.

• This product may be fitted with a non re-wireable plug. If it is necessary to change the

fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or
damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.

• If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes

damaged in any way, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the
