Electrolux EKM6044 Connecting to the Electricity Supply, Connect to 230 240V AC supply only

CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

Warning: This appliance must be earthed. Do not earth this appliance to the gas supply piping.

Connect to 230 - 240V AC supply only.

•The electrical connection should be made using a double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to prevent overheating and deterioration.

•We recommend you use a new length of 6mm2 twin core and earthed cable to ensure your safety.

•Make connection as shown in Fig 2 by proceeding as follows:-

•Preform wires to the appropriate shape to suit fitting into the mains terminal block.

•Strip inner insulation on wires using wire strippers.

•Twist the bared wires using pliers.

•Cut bared wires 10mm away from the end of the inner insulation. Where uninsulated Earth wires are used ensure they are suitably sheathed to leave 10mm bare wire to fit into the terminal.

•Clamp bare wires into the relevant terminal (Fig. 2.) and check they are held by tugging each one in turn.

•Ensure all screws are securely tightened.

•Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of the outer insuation is inside the terminal block and that the wires are not taut but not so slack as to cause any fouling.

•Connect the remaining end of the mains cable to the appliance to the appliance point / junction box.

•Place fuse / miniature circuit breaker in circuit and switch on at mains.

When refitting the mains terminal cover, ensure that the lower tabs are located inside the bottom edge of the aperture, before fixing the two screws into the top edge of the mains terminal cover. Ensure that the cover is securely fastened.

NOTE: HOUSE CIRCUIT

Earth leakage / continuity tests must be carried out before the appliance is connected to the mains supply and re-checked after fitting.
