A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorpora-

should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate
plug fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after
removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit
must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.
If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover,
the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover
can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The

marked on the base of the plug.
