DETAILS
✓Connection to the electric power supply must be carried out by a qualified technician and following the appropriate safety regulations;
✓Before carrying out the connection to the power supply, the voltage rating of the appliance (stamped on the appliance identification plate) must be checked for correspondence to the available mains supply voltage, and the mains electric wiring should be capable of handling the cooker’s power rat- ing (also indicated on the identification plate);
✓The appliance is supplied without a power supply plug and therefore if you are not connecting directly to the mains, a standardized plug suitable for the load must be fitted.
✓The power point must be connected to a suitable earth wiring, in conformity to current safety regulations.
✓The colours of the wires in the hob power cable may not cor- respond with the colours marked on the terminals of your electrical plug. The plug should in any case be wired as fol- lows:
–connect the green/yellow wire to the terminal marked with the letter PE or the earth symbol or coloured green/yellow;
–connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black;
–connect the brown wire to the terminal marked with the let- ter L or coloured red.
✓It is possible to connect the appliance directly to the mains supply by means of a heavy duty switch with 3 mm minimum distance between the contacts.
✓The power supply cord must not touch against any hot sur- faces and must be placed so that its temperature does not exceed 75°C at any point along its length.
✓After having installed the appliance, the power switch or power plug must always be in a accessible position.
✓The appliance must have its own supply; any other appliances installed near it must be supplied separately.
–N.B. For connections to the mains power supply, never use adaptors, reductions or multiple power points as these may overheat and catch fire.
In the event that installation should require modifications to the mains supply wiring system, it is recommended that a qualified technician be called to carry out substitution.
The technician will also have to verify that the
Connection to a good earth wiring system is absolutely essential.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any inconve- nience caused by failure to comply with this rule.
This appliance must be connected by a competent person, using fixed wiring via a DOUBLE POLE SWITCHED FUSED SPUR OUTLET.

We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician, who is a member of the N.l.C.E l C. and who will comply with the l.E.E. and local regulations.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow = Earth Blue = Neutral Brown = Live.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead for the appliance, may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, proceed as follows:
1)The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be con-
nected to the terminal marked E (Earth) or 
coloured Green.
2)The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the ter- minal marked N (Neutral), or coloured Black.
3)The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked L (Live), or coloured Red.
Before carrying out any work on the electrical section of the appliance, it must be disconnected from the mains.
If the hob surface is cracked disconnect the appliance from the mains.
