Replacing a blown main fuse:
Always remove the AC cord from the Inlet
The main fuse is located inside a small drawer in the AC inlet of the unit. If, for some
reason the fuse blows, turn the unit off, and remove the AC cord from the inlet.
Open the drawer with a small screwdriver and remove the broken fuse. The spare fuse is
located in the hole in front of the main fuse. Push the new fuse gently out of the hole, and
place it in correct position (where the blown fuse was removed). Push the drawer gently
back to the closed position, connect the power cord and turn the unit on.
Never replace a blown fuse with other values than printed on the unit.
Warning:
The amplifier will be warm.
Due to the high class A operating point used in the Electrocompaniet design, it is normal
that the amplifier feels warm. Proper ventilation will be needed, and the amplifier should
not be covered in. A good rule is to allow 1 - 2 inches of air sidewise, and 2 - 3 inches
above the amplifier.
If placing the amplifier on the floor, be aware of carpets that can obstruct the ventilation
underneath the amplifier.
