Special Notes
NOTES FOR USERS IN THE U.K. AND IRELAND
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 ASTA approved BS
1362 fuse marked or 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:
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.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in
your three pin plug.
- Special Notes -
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.
Important Instruction
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
