This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable
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. If the plug has to be changed because it is not
suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring
instructions below. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as it is hazardous if inserted into a live socket.
