LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION AND FUSE

In order to remove the fuse, turn the fuse cap located
on the line voltage selector switch in the direction

voltage marking can be seen through the cut in the edge
of the plug.

changed, check the rating of the fuse. A 0.5-ampere fuse
is to be used for either 220V or 240V operation and a
I-ampere fuse for any of 110V, 117V, or I30V operation.
If the rating of the fuse is proper, install the fuse in the
fuse cap.
