It would be a 'slow blow' type. However it's most likely an IEC
(international) 20 x 5 mm type, in which case one of the fuse caps should
have the rating such as T5A where T means 'time delay' (slow blow to
ex-colonials) and 5A is the current rating.
Hmmm .. IEC fuses don't come in 6A ratings, it would be 6.3A. Anyway you
need to identify the right fuse size too (American or International).
