In the UK the fuse is a cartridge fuse in the 3-pin plug. Fuses of 3, 5 and 13 amps can be bought in most hardware stores and supermarkets, and fuses of 1, 7 and 10 amps can also be bought. The fuse depends on the appliance.
Yes you can do that as long as it will fit in the fuseholder. It is acceptable to replace a lower Voltage Rated fuse with a higher but NEVER replace a higher with a lower. There are several things to consider when replacing a fuse: 1) The minimum voltage rating of the fuse is equal to or higher than the voltage of the circuit you are placing it in 2) The Amperage rating of the fuse does not exceed the capacity of the circuit you are trying to protect. Always replace a fuse with one that has the same amperage rating. 3) The interrupting rating of the fuse is sufficent for the capacity of the circuit supplying the fuse. If replacing a fuse always use one with an interrupting capacity equal to or greater than the fuse you are replacing.
Yes, if properly wired a 20 amp circuit is a great circuit for an 18 amp appliance. Properly wired means you've used 12 gauge wire or larger and the circuit is protected by a 20 amp breaker or fuse and all connections are secure.
Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.

The fuse is what restricts how much current you can draw from an outlet. If you have the wrong fuse you can draw more power than intended from an outlet - but only if the appliance plugged in can use it up. To get too much power out of an outlet, with a suitable appliance plugged in, then you also have to have a higher voltage in the outlet. And for that to happen, something has to be seriously wrong higher upp in the supply chain.
No, that is perfectly fine as it is an electric heater, However if you had water near the electrical appliance, that would be dangerous.
A fuse is given a various rating (strength). For instance, a home appliance (washing machine, etc) would usually have a fuse with a 13 amp rating. While a low powered lamp would only merit a 2 or 5 amp fuse rating. It is important to use a fuse of the correct rating in amps for each electrical appliance.
Using the correct fuse for the equipment in use is very important as should a fault occur using the wrong fuse could be the difference between a blown fuse or an electrical fire / severe electric shock
Food processors can be dangerous to humans if they do not use the appliance properly. Food processors can be dangerous, because it is a machine and there are blades that go with it. Food processors are a small appliance that help chop and slice food in order to prepare a dish. Food processors are not dangerous to your health if you keep it clean and store it properly.
A fuse is a piece of thin wire in a small fireproof container, and current flows through it on the way to the appliance. If there is a fault in the appliance and too much current starts to flow, the fuse-wire melts and stops the current, and it stops any possible fire that the excess current could cause. So a fuse is an important safety device.
No, the excessive voltage will destroy the equipment, unless the fuse trips (hopefully) ...
The appliance helped me at work
Well a blender is a very dangerous kitchen appliance so it is not meant for children use. So i suggest keeping it in a high location in your kitchen. :)
only the appliance power
