2.3ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect electrical power at the breaker box or fuse box before installing this appliance. Please make sure the unit is properly grounded for safety. Use copper conductors only. Failure to follow these indications could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnecting when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Always verify proper operation after servicing.
The appliance is fitted with an approved 15 Amp flexible cord which must be connected to a correctly grounded power line. The manufacturer is not liable for any direct or indirect damage caused by faulty installation or connection. It is therefore necessary that all installation and connection operations are carried out by qualified personnel complying with the applicable local and general regulations.
The wire section on the cable must not be less than1.5mm (3×1.5cable). Use only the special cables available at our service centers.
CONNECTING THE FEEDING CABLE TO THE MAINS
Connect the feeding cable to a plug suitable for the load indicated on the rating plate of the product. In case of a direct connection to the mains (cable without plug), it is necessary to insert a suitable omnipolar switch before the appliance, with minimum opening between contacts of 3 mm (the grounding wire should not be interrupted by the switch).
Before connecting to the main electrical wiring, make sure:
•The electrical system of your home and socket are able to withstand the maximum load required to run the oven (see rating plate).
•The supply system is regularly grounded, according to the local regulation codes.
•The socket or the omnipolar switch can easily be reached after the installation of the oven.
•If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible, have the socket replaced with a suitable model by a qualified technician. The technician will also have to ensure that the cross section of the socket cables are adequate for the maximum load required by the oven.
•After carrying out the connection to the main electrical wiring, make sure the supplying cable does not come into contact with parts subject to heating. The cord should be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature of more than 125°F with respect to the room temperature anywhere along its length.
