Which fuse is for cig lighter???

Today I noticed my Valentine V1 acting strange--it's plugged into the cig lighter. Then it stopped working altogether. I'm suspecting its the fuse since I recently fed power through the cig lighter to jump start my MINI---anyways. After removing the fuse cover and looking over the instructions, I can't tell which fuse might be it. Can anyone advise?

Looks like F32 the 15amp. Jumping through the lighter to start is a very bad idea.

DOhh!! Now that I look at that icon--yeah it's a smoking cigarette--didn't look that way to me before. LOL. Thanks!!

As for jumping through the cig lighter--it was actually a low amperage thing--takes like 30 minutes get enough juice--but still I was concerned.

I recieved one of these as a gift...and with my normal battery charger lent out--and no other car in sight--I kinda had no choice.

Its one of the few that I did figure out. Lets see, theres the cigarette, that trumpet fuse, the snowflake fuse, the gas pump fuse, and...um...thats it.
