To replace the fuse, take a screwdriver or a coin, place it in the slot found on the bottom of the device and lightly turn it anti-clockwise. Remove the old fuse and place a fuse of the same size into the holder, then fix it back into the device. (Please note: The UK version features a flip closure that is simple to open with a screwdriver.)<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>World Adapters of the series Classic, EVO,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skross.com\/en\/products\/muv-usb\">MUV<\/a>:<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Slow Blow Microfuse\u00a0T\u00a0(Glass or Ceramic)\u00a02.5 A &#8211;
