Caution for AC mains lead

(For United Kingdom)

(“EB” area code model only)

For your safety, please read the following text
carefully.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin
mains plug for your safety and convenience.
A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure
that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere
and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark m or the BSI mark o on
the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must
ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used
until a replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from
your local dealer.

CAUTION!

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUIT­ABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR
HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE RE­MOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DIS­POSED OF SAFELY.
THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRI­CAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS IN­SERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO
THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH
THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL n OR
COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW.

THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF—KEEP DRY.

Before use

Remove the connector cover.

How to replace the fuse

The location of the fuse differ according to the type of
AC mains plug (figures A and B). Confirm the AC
mains plug fitted and follow the instructions below.
Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.

1. Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver.

Figure A

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring
code as stated below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

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 with the
coloured markings 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 or Blue.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured Brown or Red.

Suggestions for safety

Placement

Avoid placing the unit in areas of:

•direct sunlight

•high temperature

•high humidity

•excessive vibration

•uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a flat level surface.)

Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component
parts and thereby shorten the unit's service life.
To protect the unit against sound distortion and accoustical effects,
please place the unit at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces etc.

Stacking

Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the AC mains lead.

Voltage

•It is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage such
as for an air conditioner.
A fire might be caused by such a connection.

•A DC power source can not be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially if on a ship
or other place where DC is used.

Foreign materials

•Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins, screwdriv­ers etc., accidentally fall into the unit.
Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.

•Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the unit,
as a fire or electric shock could occur.
(Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer immediately if
this occurs.)

•Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain flammable
gases which can be ignited.

•Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals shoud never
be used to clean the unit as they can cause flaking or cloudiness to
the cabinet finish.

Service

•Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there
seems to be a problem.
A serious electric shock could result if you ignore this precautionary
measure.

•If a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted, indi­cators fail to light up, smoke is detected, etc.) contact your dealer or
Authorized Service Center immediately.

•Disconnect the AC mains lead if the unit will not be used for a long
time. Otherwise the operation life could be shortened.

AC mains lead protection

•Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC mains lead, as
this may result in fire or electric shock.
Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the AC mains lead should
also be avoided.

•Do not pull on the AC mains lead when you are disconnecting the
power, as this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly
when you disconnect the AC mains lead.

•Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock
could result.
