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 car-
rier 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.
