corresponds with your house
electricity supply which must be
A.C. (Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your
home are not suitable for the
plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be
removed and the appropriate
one fitted.
WARNING: The plug
removed from the mains
lead, if severed, must be
destroyed as a plug with
bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged
into a live socket outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp

SAFEGUARD
OVERHEAT
PROTECTION
SYSTEM
Activation
The system will remain dormant
indefinitely as long as the heat
pad is operating in the normal
temperature range. If for any
reason the heat pad is operated
in an abnormal situation or
condition which would
otherwise have induced a rapid
temperature rise high enough to
constitute a hazard, the
OVERHEAT SYSTEM should
intervene by cutting off the
supply current before the
temperature reaches the point
at which damage may occur.
It is normal for the lead from the
heat pad to the switch to
become warm as this is part of
the heated protection circuit
extended to the switch.
In the event of the OVERHEAT
SYSTEM operating, the heat
pad will cease to function.
WARNING: No attempt
should be made to
repair the heat pad or
have it repaired locally
and the switch supplied
must never be replaced
since the specialised
components are not
generally available.
The fact that this heat pad
incorporates the overheat
system does not absolve the
user from observing these
instructions.
