IMPORTANT - For your safety A
To ensure safe operation, the supplied three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-
pin electrical socket that is effectively grounded through the normal household wiring.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and
that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective
grounding of the power, consult a qualified electrician.
Important - Wiring information (for U.K. only) A
If you need to replace the plug fuse, fit a fuse that is approved by ASTA to BS1362 with the same
rating as the original fuse.
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug that does not have a cover.
