5.7 Fuse Replacement

Fuses are marked on the circuit diagram (section 7) with type codes, e.g. F1, F2. A list of the
correct fuses is given in section8 page 23.

If a fuse has failed, it is advisable for an electrician to check the internal circuits.

Replace any failed fuses with the correct type. For safety reasons do not fit larger capacity fuses.

The fuses are near the cable entry point, and access is by removal of the back panel of the base or
control box.
