Instruction for the installer

2.1Electrical connection

Make sure that the power line voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rating plate located inside the storage compartment.

This rating plate must never be removed.

If the appliance is hooked-up to the supply by means of a fixed connection, install a multipolar cut- out device on the line, with contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3 mm, located near the appliance and in an easily reachable position.

Hook-up to the supply may be fixed or with plug and socket. In the latter case the plug and socket must be suitable for the cable employed and conform with the regulations in force. Regardless of the type of connection, earthing of the appliance is absolutely obligatory. Before connection make sure that the supply line is suitably earthed. Avoid the use of reducers, adapters or shunts.1

For operation on 220-240 V∼: use an H05RR-F or H05V2V2-F type three-core cable (3 x 2.5 mm2 on 90 cm models or 3 x 1.5 on 60 cm models).

For operation on 380-415 V 2N∼ (only for 90 cm models): use an

H05RR-F or H05V2V2-F type four-core cable (4 x 1.5 mm2).

For operation on 380-415 V 3N∼ (only for 90 cm models): use an

H05RR-F or H05V2V2-F type five-core cable (5 x 1.5 mm2).

The cable end to be connected to the appliance must be provided with an earth wire (yellow-green) at least 20 mm longer.

2.2Ventilation requirements

The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with B.S. 5440 part 2 1989.

1.All rooms require an opening window or equivalent, and some rooms will require a permanent vent as well.

2.For room volumes up to 5 m3 an air vent of 100 cm2 is required.

3.If the room has a door that opens directly to the outside, and the room exceeds 1 m3 no air vent is required.

4.For room volumes between 5 m3 and 10 m3 an air vent of 50 cm2 is required.

5.If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room B.S. 5440 part 2 1989 should be consulted to determine the air vent requirements.

6.This appliance must not be installed in a bed sitting room of less than 20 m3 or in a bathroom or shower room.

Windows and permanent vents should therefore not be blocked or removed without first consulting a Corgi gas installer.

Failure to install appliances correctly is dangerous and could lead to prosecution.
