Important notice to UK users
The appliance cord is terminated with a UK approved

replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse rated
at 3A must be used. If you need to change the mains
plug, remove the fuse and dispose of this plug safely
immediately after cutting it from the cord.
Connecting a mains plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the code: Blue: NEUTRAL; Brown: LIVE.
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK.
The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L
or coloured BROWN or
RED.
To completely disconnect
