WIRING THE PLUG
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 informationon 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.
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock, disconnect from the mains before removing cover. No user servicable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Disconnect from the mains supply before
cleaning.
