Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363
If this machine is fitted with a
non-rewireable plug and the socket out
-
lets are not suitable for the plug sup
-
plied or if the existing plug needs to be
replaced by a new one, the old plug will
need to be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted. The fuse carrier and the
fuse should be removed from the old
plug and disposed of.
The plug cut from the cable should then
be disposed of and on no account be
inserted into any socket elsewhere in
the house (electric shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be refitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover
is lost, the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement cover
is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is em-
bossed in words on the base of the
plug (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).
Replacement fuses should be ASTA ap
-
proved to BS 1362 and have the cor
-
rect rating. Replacement fuse covers
may be purchased from your local elec
-
trical supplier or Service agent.
