OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION / RE-PLACING THE FUSE (FIG. 4)

An overvoltage in the connected mains current can lead to a sudden failure of the device. This indicates that the overvoltage protection mechanism was activated by the builtin fuse. The fuse must then be replaced in order to continue using the device. Proceed as follows:

Turn the cover of the fuse compartment (8) labelled ‘FUSE’ in the direction of the arrow/counterclockwise and remove it.
Remove the fuse (P) (small glass tube) from the holder in the cover and replace it with a new fuse of the same type.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to use the same type as stated on the fuse!
Reinsert the cover with the new fuse into the fuse compartment and tighten it in the opposite direction of the arrow/clockwise.
