Fuse Replacement
Fuses are marked on the wiring diagram with type codes, e.g. F1, F2. For more
information on fuses refer to section 10.0.
Depending on model and voltage, the different fuse types may or may not be fitted.
If any fuse has failed, it is advisable for an electrician to check the internal circuits.
Replace any failed fuses with the correct type. For safety reasons do not fit larger
capacity fuses without first consulting Carbolite Gero.
The fuses are located at the cable entry point. Remove the back panel or control box
back panel to gain access to the fuses.
