ELECTRICAL SECTION
IMPORTANT: Installation must be carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions. Incorrect installation may cause harm and damage to people, ani- mals or property, for which the manufacturer accepts no responsibility.
Before carrying out any work on the electrical section of the appliance, it must be disconnected from the mains.
Connection to a good earth wiring system is absolutely essential.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any inconvenience caused by fail- ure to comply with this rule.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
•Connection to the electric power supply must be carried out by a qualified technician and following the appropriate safety regulations.
•The appliance must be connected to the mains checking that the voltage corresponds to the value given in the rating plate and that the electrical cable sections can with- stand the load specified on the plate.
•If the hob is supplied without plug, fit a standard plug which is suitable for the power absorbed by the appliance and in conformity with the local rules in force.
•The plug must be put into a socket connected to the earth system in compliance with safety rules.
•A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply (under overvoltage category III conditions) shall be incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements).
•The power supply cable must not touch the hot parts and must be positioned so that it does not exceed 50°C above ambient.
•Once the appliance has been installed, the power switch or power plug must always be in a accessible position.
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 sys- tem, it is recommended that a qualified technician be called to carry out substitution. The technician will also have to verify that the
If the hob surface is cracked disconnect the appliance from the mains and contact the
