UK USERS PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION 

Fuse replacement  

This appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable 13 amp mains plug. The plug
contains a 5 amp fuse. If the fuse has blown it can be replaced as follows:

a)  Pull out the red fuse cover/carrier.
b) Remove and dispose of the blown fuse.
c)  Fit a new 5 amp BS1362 approved fuse into the carrier and 

push the carrier back into the plug.

Always ensure the fuse cover is fitted. If the fuse cover is missing do not use the
plug. Contact your Linn retailer to obtain a replacement fuse cover.

Fuses are for fire protection and do not protect against electric shock.

Mains plug replacement  

Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this
proceed as follows. If you are in doubt contact your Linn retailer or a competent
electrician.

a)  Disconnect the plug from the mains supply.
b) Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely. A plug with bared 

conductors is dangerous if engaged in a live socket.

c)  Only fit a 13 amp BS1363A approved plug with a 5 amp fuse.
d) The cable wire colours or a letter will be marked at the 

connection points of most quality plugs.

Attach the wires securely to their respective points. The Brown wire must go to
the Live pin, the Blue wire must go to the Neutral pin, and the Green/Yellow wire
must go to the Earth pin.

e)  Before replacing the plug top ensure that the cable restraint is 

holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the wires 
are correctly connected.

WARNING 

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
