For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug 
supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an 
appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the 
instructions described below.

Note: 

The plug severed from the mains lead must be 

destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if 
engaged in a live socket outlet.
