WARNING!
It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following electrical instructions:
You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit
Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all
electrical products, particularly portable equipment which is plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB.
You must
also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety:
1.1.1.
The
Electricity At Work Act 1989

a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2.
The
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
