Philips AZ8352 User manual

AZ8352 CD Radio Cassette Recorder

Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a
fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
• Remove fuse cover and fuse.
• Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved
type.
• Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets/it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug
without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into
a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
Howto connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured blue or black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured brown or red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or 4) or coloured green (or
green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the
lead - not simply over the two wires. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
