CONNECTION AND PREPARATION
_____________________
Additional information for units sold
in the UK.
Units sold in the UK are suitable for operation from a
240V ac, 50Hz mains supply.
The range of multi-system receivers is built to work in
most European countries. However, the mains plug and
socket system for the UK differs from many European
countries.
This appliance has been supplied with a fitted, non-re-
movable, approved converter plug for use in the UK.
This converter plug is fitted with a 5A rated fuse.
In case this appliance is supplied with a moulded 2-pin
Euro plug only, which is unsuitable for UK operation,
this must be cut off and immediately disposed of. An
approved 13A, 3-pin UK plug should then be fitted by
a qualified electrician.
Note:
The severed Euro plug must be destroyed to avoid
a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a
socket elsewhere.
If a non-rewireable 3-pin plug or a rewireable 13A
(BS1363) 3-pin plug is used, it must be fitted with
a 5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse. If any
other type of plug is used it must be protected by a
5A fuse either in the plug, or at the distribution bo-
ard. If this type of plug becomes defective, ensure
that the fuse is removed before disposal, to eliminate
potential shock hazard.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewire-
able plug, the correct type and rating (5A ASTA or
BSI approved BS1362) must be used and the fuse
cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or da-
maged, the lead and plug must not be used until a
replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers
should be obtained from your dealer.
Important:
The wires in the mains lead are colour coded in ac-
cordance with the following code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your
appliance may not correspond with the coloured
marking identifying terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal
marked with the letter “N” or coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug ter-
minal marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connec-
ted to the terminal marked with the letter “E”, earth
symbol “
V
”, coloured green, or green & yellow.
Replacement mains lead sets can be obtained from
your local dealer, or by contacting Grundig Consu-
mer Relations (01788 570088)
