securely into the mains plug (see example 1).

For plug type shown in example 2:

Lift open the fuse compartment, in the mains plug, with a screwdriver, and replace the fuse, then 
press the fuse cover down securely (see example 2).

As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured 
markings identifying the terminals in your mains plug, proceed as follows.

IMPORTANT:

 – The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: –

 

Blue: Neutral Brown: Live

If a new mains plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below.
If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

If the fitted moulded mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home, then the fuse shall be
removed and the mains plug cut off and disposed of safety. There is a danger of severe electrical shock 
if the cut off mains plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

If the mains plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the mains plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover may be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is
fitted in this mains plug. Shall the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating 
of 5 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.
