GREEN & YELLOW—Earth        BLUE—Neutral         BROWN—Live

U.K. MAIN PLUG WARNING:  A molded main plug that has been cut off from the cord is
unsafe.  NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU INSERT A DAM-

IMPORTANT!  FOR YOUR PROTECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

WATER AND MOISTURE:  Appliance should not be used near water (near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc).  Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

POWER SOURCES:  The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type
described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:  Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polar-
ization means of an appliance is not defeated.

POWER CORD PROTECTION:  Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

SERVICING:  The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the
operating instructions.  All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

FUSING:  If your unit is equipped with a fuse receptacle, replace only with the same type fuse.
Refer to replacement text on the unit for correct fuse type.

VICE PERSONNEL! THIS UNIT CON-
TAINS HIGH VOLTAGE INSIDE!
