Redmond Multi cooker problem

I won this multi cooker in a competition back in 2016 but at the time I was using an actifry so didnt need it, so it stayed in the box. The Actifry has now packed up so I am attempting to use this cooker. However it only has a continental 2 pin plug which blows the fuses in all our little adaptors (too powerful).

I have contacted Redmond who cannot supply another lead with a UK plug according to their email. I am considering buying this.....https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keple-Adapter-International-Universal-European-White/dp/B07ZQB3WCV/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?adgrpid=52852185533&gclid=CjwKCAiA8K7uBRBBEiwACOm4d0a8KJHQmZoJsGv_9uGxJ_9XAeIAQFrvfRdb1EVQZXMk-_D_-EWzTRoCJ2UQAvD_BwE&hvadid=259025786832&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006594&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t2&hvqmt=b&hvrand=14737922121232437233&hvtargid=aud-613701470069%3Akwd-314691309980&hydadcr=5056_1827808&keywords=13+amp+adapter&qid=1573662014&s=electronics&sr=1-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyV0hEWk9CWDk3NkZCJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzQ0MTY2MzYxV0xaU0NEMERRTyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDM3NDEyMVZPS09FVTVBUzJSUCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=


....but is it suitable for this cooker? Failing that am tempted to sell it as it is unused. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    What "little adaptors" are you referring to?

    What supply voltage is this designed for?

    If the appliance is suitable for UK supply, cut the plug off it and fit a 13A UK plug.

    I was referring the adaptors I use for my rechargeable toothbrush or shaving adaptors. On the box it says this appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EG and mentions 220V


    Then in another section it says EN Power 860. It also has the CE marking on it.


    Sorry I have no knowledge of electrical things so apologise if this is a bit garbled.

    These adaptors you refer to will be fused down to a level that won't take the current of your appliance.

    Providing your appliance operates at UK mains voltage, I'd consider cutting off the existing plug and fitting a UK one. Do check the appliance is compatible with UK supply and be aware cutting off the plug may invalidate any warranty.
