If your appliance is fitted with a nonrewireable Bs 1363
plug it must not be used unless a 13 amp (AsTA approved
to Bs 1362) fuse is fitted in the carrier contained in the
plug. (spares may be obtained from your BIssell
supplier). If for any reason the plug is cut off, it must be
disposed of, as it is an electric shock hazard should it be
inserted into a mains socket.
