POWER CORD (MAINS LEAD)

BROWN

(LIVE)

FUSE

CORD GRIP

Do not place the product where a piece of furniture or other heavy object could trap the power cord (mains lead). Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord periodically to see if it is damaged. If it is damaged, please ask an approved service agent to replace it.

For your own safety read following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this device to the mains.

This unit is designed to operate on a 220V-240V AC - 50Hz supply only. Connecting it to other power sources may damage it. Ensure that the supply corresponds to the information on the rating label on the bottom of the unit. This component system may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug most not be used until a replacement, available from the manufacturer, is obtained. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the colour marking on the base of the plug. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or it becomes damaged, it should be cut off and the fuse removed immediately. Please dispose of the plug safely and out of reach from children. Under no circumstance should the cut-off plug be inserted into a mains socket outlet due to high risk of electric shock. Then fit an appropriate plug carefully following the wiring instructions shown below.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains plug should be connected as shown in the diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains lead of the unit may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug. Connect them 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. There should be no connection to earth terminal of your plug. If you use a 13 Amp (BS1363) plug, you will need a 5 Amp fuse.

How to replace the fuse

Open the fuse compartment with a blade screwdriver and replace the fuse. When replacing the fuse in the plug, use ASTA or BSI approved 5 AMP fuse and be sure to re-fit the fuse cover. If the plug supplied with this equipment has a detachable fuse cover, be sure attach the fuse cover after you change the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover.

If you should lose the fuse cover, please contact an electrical goods retailer. If in doubt, consult a competent electrician how to replace the fuse

This symbol means that this unit is double insulated. An earth connection is not required.
