SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug
incorporating a 3A fuse.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse
marked 

or 

and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the

pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse.  Never use the plug without
the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with
the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off
plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted
elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet,  as a serious electric shock may
occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

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

Blue:

Neutral

Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
—The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which

is marked N or coloured black.

—The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal

which  is marked L or coloured red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth
terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
—If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed

from the cut-off plug.

—The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply

over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
