    To ensure safe operation, the supplied three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-
    pin electrical socket that is effectively grounded through the normal household wiring.
    The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and 
    that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective 
    grounding of the power, consult a qualified electrician.
    Important - Wiring information (for U.K. only)A
    If you need to replace the plug fuse, fit a fuse that is approved by ASTA to BS1362 with the same 
    rating as the original fuse.
    Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug that does not have a cover.
    Warning - This machine must be earthed.A
    The wires in the mains lead are coloured in line with the following code:„ Green and Yellow: Earth
    „ Blue: Neutral
    „ Brown: Live
    If in any doubt, call a qualified electrician.
