WARNING: 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 adaptor or consult your dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

If a new mains plug has to be fitted, then follow the instruction given below:

IMPORTANT.

DO NOT make any connection to the larger terminal which is marked with the letter

E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow. The wires in the mains lead on this product 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 which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

When replacing the fuse only a correctly rated approved type should be used and be sure to re-fit the fuse cover.

IF IN DOUBT — CONSULT A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension

leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation or

operation or safety of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working

normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off — withdraw the mains

plug and consult your dealer. DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically

stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family

know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm

or handicapped people. DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios that may distract you

when driving. It is illegal to watch television while driving. DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage

your hearing. DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft

furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the

equipment. DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure

complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with

the fixings provided according to the instructions. DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

ABOVE ALL — NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any

other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock. — NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind. It is

better to be safe than sorry.
