WARNING - This appliance must be earthed.
This appliance may be fitted with a non rewirable plug, if
it is necessary to change the fuse in a non rewirable plug
the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or
damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement,
available from the appliance manufacturer, is obtained. It
is important that the colour of the replacement fuse
cover corresponds with the colour marking on the base

If the plug requires to be changed because it is not suit-
able for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring

of safely as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause
an electrical hazard.
