Fuses

Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A) fuse. If you need to replace the fuse,use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362.To change the fuse lift the holder to vertical position and lift the fuse out. To replace the fuse, insert the fuse and push fuse holder down into the locked position. Correct replacement is identified by colour coding or the marking on base of plug.

WARNING: Do not use the plug unless the fuse holder is in the locked position and the top cover firmly replaced.
