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 13 amp socket.
