UK Only 13A Plug Connection
If your TV is connected to the mains supply using a 3 pin 13 amp plug, the voltage rating
is 220-240 volts and should be protected by a 3 amp fuse in the plug.
Should the fuse require replacement for any reason, the fuse must be replaced with a
fuse rated at 3 amps and manufactured and approved to BS1362.
If the mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is removed for any
other reason, then the cut off plug should have its fuse removed and be disposed of
safely to prevent the hazard of electric shock.
There is a danger of electric shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket
outlet.
