in

accordance

with

the

following

code:

.

Blue:

Brown:

Live

As

the

colours

of

the

wires

in

the

mains

lead

of

this

apparatus

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

terminal

which

is

marked

with

the

letter

N

or

coloured

black.

The

FOR

YOUR

SAFETY

(AUSTRALIAN

MODEL

ONLY)

To

ensure

safe

operation,

the

three-pin

plug

supplied

must

be

inserted

only

into

a

standard

three-pin

power

point

which

is

effectively

earthed

through

the

normal

household

wiring.

Extension

cords

used

with

the

equipment

must

be

three-core

and

be

correctly

wired

to

provide

connection

to

earth.

Wrongly

wired

extension

cords

are

a

major

cause

of

fatalities.

.

The

fact

that

the

equipment

operates

satisfactorily

does

not

imply

that

the

power

point

is

earthed

and

that

the

installation

is

completely

safe.

For

your

safety,

if

in

any

doubt

about

the

effective

earthing

of

the

power

point,

coritact

a

qualified

electrician.

Note:

Whenever

the

power

switch

is

in

the

OFF-state,

the

apparatus

is

still

connected

on

AC

line

voltage.

Please

be

sure

to

unplug

the

cord

when

you

leave

home

for,

say,

a

vacation.
