The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded)
plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI
or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug
without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate
type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug
destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere
into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
