Note:
l
For non-rewireable plugs the fuse
cover MUST be refitted when
replacing the fuse. If the fuse
cover is lost then the plug must
not be used until a replacement
can be obtained. The correct fuse
cover is identified by colour and a
replacement may be obtained from
your Kenwood Authorised Repairer
(see Service).
l
If a non-rewireable plug is cut
off it must be DESTROYED
IMMEDIATELY. An electric shock
hazard may arise if an unwanted
non-rewireable plug is inadvertently
inserted into a 13A socket outlet.
