Factory fitted moulded mains plug

1. The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement,

use only a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.

2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the

fuse in the moulded plug.

3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If

the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in
your home or the cable is too short to reach a power
point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved
extension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the
fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a
possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to
the mains supply.

IMPORTANT : The wires in the mains lead are coloured

in accordance with the following code:

Blue

: Neutral

Brown : Live

Do not connect those leads to the earth terminal of a
three-pin plug.

your AC outlet, make sure that the setting positions of
these switches match your line voltage. If not, they
must be set to your voltage in accordance with the
following direction.
