Please the pic of my fuse box and guide how can I change the first floor fuse in this old fuse box. Note the fuse is not the pull out one. Also if you see in the pic it seems it comes out by unscrewing all the adjacent fuse which does not seem right?

Experts please guide.

These take cartridge fuses.
Switch off the main switch, firmly grasp the top and bottom of the fuse you want to move and give a sharp pull untill the carrier comes completely out of the unit.

The unit is in 2 halves, held together with a screw, undo this screw and remove one of the halves.

The fuse will now come out, depending on the tightness of fit, itsy come away with the pins still attached, these should simply slide off.

Replace fuse cartridge with a new one and replace the pin clips too and bottom, reassemble the halves, do up the screw, reinsert into board and turn back on.
