Hi
Not sure if this should be electrics outside UK or not...
My partner has been given an electric French fondue set. His friend apparently just put a UK plug on one and plugged it in and it worked fine...
We put a UK plug on it and plugged it in and it was working fine for about 5 mins when something tripped the RCD on half the consumer unit -the half which included the socket the fondue set was plugged into...it might just have been a coincidence -but I can't think of any thing else that is different....
So should there be a problem with this? Could it be a faulty appliance?
(I checked the plug again and it seems fine - it does have a 13 amp fuse in it - doesn't seem to be one in the french plug....)...
Thanks
Lucy
