Special notes
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable
(moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to
be replaced, a BSI or AST A approved BS 1362 fuse marked
and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on
the pin face of the plug must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use
the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being
compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit
an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off
plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may
occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
Important Instruction
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product 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 plug
terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
● The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
NOTES FOR USERS IN THE U.K. AND IRELAND
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to
the earth terminal in your three pin plug.
or
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:
● If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as
that removed from the cut-off plug.
● The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead
and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
