 FOR CUSTOMERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
THIS PRODUCT IS SUPPLIED WITH TWO PIN MAINS FOR USE IN MAINLAND EUROPE.
FOR THE U.K. PLEASE REFER TO THE CLASS I EQUIPMENT NOTES BELOW.
The mains lead on this equipment is
supplied with a moulded plug
incorporating a fuse, the value of which

Should the fuse need to be replaced, an

a power point, then obtain an
appropriate safety approved extension
lead or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the
mains plugs, this must be carried out by
a competent person, preferably a
qualified electrician.If there is no alternative to cutting off
the mains plug, ensure that you first
remove the fuse then immediately
dispose of the portion remaining, to
avoid a possible shock hazard by
inadvertent connection to the mains
supply.
The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the code
shown in the diagram below:As these colours may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured Green and
Yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured Green, or Green and
