PLUG WIRING (UK & IRELAND)
This appliance is fitted with a moulded BS 1363 13-amp plug. If you have to replace the fuse, only those
that are ASTA or BSI approved to BS1362 and with a rated current of 13-amps should be used.
If there is a fuse cover fitted, this cover must be re-fitted after changing the fuse. If the fuse cover is lost or
damaged the plug must not be used. Spare fuse holders and fuses are available from electrical outlets. If
the socket outlets in your home or office are not suitable for this product’s plug, the plug must be removed
