❖ Mains plug and its fuse
The supplied mains plug may be a non-rewireable type or a rewireable
type. Both types contain an approved 3A fuse. If you need to replace
the fuse, you must use an ASTA- or BSI-approved BS1362 fuse, rated
at 3A and marked:
The non-rewireable plug has its fuse beneath a fuse cover on its
face. Use a screwdriver to lever off the fuse cover, replace the fuse
with a new one and refit its cover. Never use a plug if its fuse cover is
missing.
The fuse is inside the rewireable plug. Use a screwdriver to remove the
plug’s back cover, then lever out the fuse and replace it with a new
one. Replace the plug’s back cover.
If the supplied mains plug is not suitable for your mains socket-outlet,
remove its fuse (if possible) and then cut the plug off the lead. Destroy
the severed plug immediately to avoid the shock hazard that would
exist if this were to be plugged into a mains socket.
Fit an appropriate mains plug on the lead. If this plug contains a fuse,
it should be as described above. If you are using a non-fused plug, an
external fuse must not exceed 5A.
