The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug 
incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA 
approved BS 1362 fuse marked  or 
indicated on the pin face of the plug must be used.

IMPORTANT: 
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: 
Blue: Neutral

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with 
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: 
•  The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is 
marked N or coloured black. 
•  The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is 
marked L or coloured red. 
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in 
your three pin plug. 
 
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that: 
•  If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, Its value is the same as that removed from the 
cut-off plug. 
•  The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the
