MAINS/LINE FUSE

A Mains /Line fuse is fit ted within the IEC Mains /Line socket on the rear of the amplifier. A small drawer at the bot tom of this socket may be removed (af ter the IEC plug is

removed) by levering it out with a flat blade screwdriver. The fuse fit ted should be

rated as specified on the rear panel. In the unusual event that this fuse should blow, you must first establish the cause of this failure (such as power surges, damaged mains cable etc.) before replacing the fuse with one of the same rating and t ype.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT FIT A FUSE WITH A HIGHER RATING.

NOTE: Fuse failure may indicate a severe problem. Should the amplifier continue to exhibit mains fuse failure contact your Plinius dealer.
