Electrical Connection

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The installation procedure must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this appliance is guaranteed only if the appliance is correctly earthed in compliance with the standards of electrical safety.

The manufacturer can under no circumstances be considered responsible for any damage that might occur due to incorrect earthing of the hob.

Connecting the supply cord to the electrical mains: The hob must be connected to a double pole mains switch which must be installed between the appliance and the mains. The double pole mains switch must have a minimum of 3mm of space between the contacts, be sized to the load and comply with current regulations (the switch must not be able to disconnect the earth conductor).

The supply cord should conform to BS6004 conductor size 4mm2 and must be positioned so that no part of it reaches a temperature of 50°C higher than room temperature.

Before making the connection, make sure that:

•the limiter switch (fuse) and the residual wiring can support the appliance load (see the rating plate, below).

•the mains system is properly earthed in compliance with current regulations and provisions.

•there is easy access to the socket or the double pole mains switch after the appliance is installed.

•the isolation switch must not be positioned directly above the appliance.

IMPORTANT:

If the hob is installed above a built-in oven, the electrical connection for the hob must be independent of that for the oven, both for safety reasons and to facilitate the removal of the oven for maintenance, repair etc.
