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
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:

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 termi-

nal 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.

or and of the same rating as

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.
