The wires in the cord are coloured as follows:  
Blue = Neutral  
Brown = Live.  
The appliance must be protected by a 13A approved  
(BS1362) fuse.

Never use a damaged hand blender. Get it checked or  
repaired: see ‘service’.  
Note:  
For non-rewireable plugs the fuse cover MUST be  
refitted when replacing the fuse. If the fuse cover is lost  
then the plug must not be used until a replacement can  
be obtained. The correct fuse cover is identified by  
colour and a replacement may be obtained from your

If a non-rewireable plug is cut off it must be  
DESTROYED IMMEDIATELY. An electric shock hazard  
may arise if an unwanted non-rewireable plug is  
inadvertently inserted into a 13A socket outlet.
