							2Important notes for users in U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fi tted with an approved 13 
Amp plug.  To change a fuse in this type of plug 
proceed as follows:
Remove fuse cover and fuse.
Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362  
5 Amp, A .S.T. A . or BSI approved type.
Refi t the fuse cover.
If the fi tted plug is not suitable for your socket 
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate 
plug fi tted 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 distribution board should 
not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note:  The severed plug must be disposed off 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 markings 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 ear th 
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.
