10 MAINS PLUG

We have fitted this unit with a standard mains plug.
• If the mains lead gets damaged it must be

replaced by a qualified service agent with an
approved lead of the same type.

• If the plug is cut off, remove the fuse from the

plug and get rid of it safely, as if you put it into a
supply socket it would be dangerous.

• If you change the plug because the standard

plug is damaged or unsuitable, please destroy
the old plug as it would be dangerous if plugged
into a live power outlet. Follow the wiring
instructions supplied with the new plug.  

11 POWER-CORD PROTECTION

You must make sure the mains lead cannot be
walked on, crushed, chafed, cut, and so on.
