power points in your home or the cable is too short
to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate
safety approved extension lead or adaptor or
consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove
the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to
avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent
connection to the mains supply.
If a new mains plug has to be fitted, then follow the
instruction given below:

connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured red.
When replacing the fuse only a correctly rated
approved type should be used and be sure to
re-fit the fuse cover.
If in doubt -- consult a competent
electrician.
