Replacing the Fitted Plug (for UK Only)
Important
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363)  13 amp plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the 
fuse, you must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to  replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until 
you have another  fuse cover. 
Contact the people from you purchased the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should  be suitabl
 e. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 
13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.
 
If you cut off the moulded plug,  get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an  electric shock if 
 you plug it into a socket.
