Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type

of plug proceed as follows:

1Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an

appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should

have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distributi-

on board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard

should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral

(N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour mar-

kings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or

coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over

the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.
