use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed
as follows:
1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.

not be used until a correct replacement is fitted.
Correct replacement are identified by the colour insert or
the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your local
electrical store.
Connection to a rewireable plug
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then
it should be cut off and disposed of in order to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A
socket elsewhere.
A suitable altenative plug should then be fitted to the cable.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code;
BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLOW - “EARTH” (“E”)

is coloured GREEN AND YELLOW must be connected to the
EARTH contact, and the other two wires to the two pins,
irrespective of colour. The supply to the socket must be
