If your appliance is fitted with a nonrewireable Bs
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 mains socket.
