NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-
rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or
ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked 

 or 

and of the same rating as above, which is also
indicated on the pin face of the plug must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse.
Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your
home not being compatible with the plug supplied,
cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed
and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and
disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug
be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as
a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow
the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in ac-
cordance with the following code:
Blue

 : Neutral

Brown

 : Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of
this product may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured blue must be con-
nected to the plug terminal which is marked N
or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be con-
nected to the plug terminal which is marked L
or coloured red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is
connected to the earth terminal in your three pin
plug.

Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:

If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value
is the same as that removed from the cut-off
plug.

The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the
mains lead and not simply over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALI-
FIED ELECTRICIAN.
