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.
If this product is not provided with a
mains plug, or one has to be fitted, then
follow the instructions given below:
IMPORTANT. DO NOT
make any

ç
or coloured
GREEN or GREEN-and-YELLOW.
The wires in the mains lead on this
product are coloured in accordance
with the following code:

follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must
be connected to the terminal which is
