WARNING

FOR USE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

This appliance is supplied with a fitted three pin mains
plug. A 3 amp fuse is fitted in the plug. Should the fuse
need to be replaced, use a 3 amp fuse approved by
ASTA or BSI to BS1362. When replacing the fuse, you
must ensure that any removable fuse covers are cor­rectly refitted.
If you should lose the fuse cover, please contact your
nearest AIWA dealer.

DO NOT CUT OFF THE PLUG FROM THIS APPLI­ANCE. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power

points in your home, or the cable is too short to reach
a power point, obtain an appropriate safety approved
extension lead or adaptor. If in any doubt please
consult a qualified electrician.

If the plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the
plug immediately. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE

ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS
INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMP SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted please ensure it contains a
3 amp fuse, otherwise the circuit should be protected
by a 5 amp fuse at the distribution board.
