The fuse cover is removable with a small plain slot screwdriver. Ensure the fuse cover is replaced
before attempting to connect the plug to an electrical outlet. If the cover is missing, a replacement
must be obtained or the plug replaced with a suitable type.
If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable should be disabled to prevent
connection to a live electrical outlet.
This appliance is Class II

and is designed for connection to a power supply matching that detailed
on the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted.
If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance.
Follow all the instructions supplied with the extension lead.

Double insulated : This product requires no earth connection as supplementary insulation is
applied to the basic insulation to protect against electric shock in the event of failure of the basic
insulation.
IMPORTANT
If using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead regarding
maximum load while cable is wound. If in doubt, ensure that the entire cable is unwound.
Using a coiled extension lead will generate heat which could melt the lead and cause a fire.
