Mains lead replacement
Do not attempt to repair or replace the mains connecting cable yourself, consult a qualified
electrician.
This product is supplied with a fitted plug which contains
a 3A fuse. If you are simply replacing the fuse, you must
use a 3A fuse which has been approved by ASTA to
BS1362.
If the plug does not fit the socket or becomes damaged,
a new plug must be fitted. Replace the original plug with
the correct plug for your socket. If this is a 3-pin (square
pin) 3A (BS1363) plug, you must make sure that it is
fitted with an ASTA approved 3A fuse. If another type of
plug is used, it must be protected by a 5A fuse, either in
the plug or at the distribution board.
1. Remove the existing fitted plug.
