CAUTION

•TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE

BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

•This apparatus shall always be connected to a

AC outlet with a protective grounding

connection.

•To disconnect the apparatus from the mains,

the plug must be pulled out from the mains

socket, therefore the mains plug shall be

readily operable.

•Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or

splashing. Do not put objects lled with

liquids, such as vases on the apparatus.

•To turn this apparatus off completely, you

must pull the power plug out of the wall

Wiring the Main Power Supply

Plug (UK Only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with

a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of

the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug

and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to

BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed.

If the cover is detachable and a replacement is

required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse

tted in the plug. Replacement covers are

available from your dealer. If the tted plug is not

suitable for the power points in your house or the

cable is not long enough to reach a power point,

you should obtain a suitable safety approved

extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

ENG - 3

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the

plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of

the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains

socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the

bared exible cord. Never attempt to insert bare

wires directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse

must be used at all times.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:– BLUE =

NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE As these colours may not

correspond to the coloured markings identifying

the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The

wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the

terminal marked with the letter N or coloured

BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must

be connected to the terminal marked with the

letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

WARNING : DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO

THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH

THE LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL ,

OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

PRECAUTIONS

1. Ensure that the AC power supply in your

house complies with the power

requirements listed on the identication

to lightning could damage the unit.

3. Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or

other heat sources. This could lead to

overheating and cause the unit to

malfunction.

4. Protect the product from moisture (i.e.

vases), and excess heat (e.g. a replace) or

equipment creating strong magnetic or

electric elds. Unplug the power cable from

the AC wall socket if the unit malfunctions.

Your product is not intended for industrial

use. It is for personal use only. Condensation

may occur if your product has been stored in

cold temperatures. If transporting the unit
