ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
■■ The appliance must be connected to the mains checking that the voltage correspon- ds to the value given in the rating plate and that the electrical cable sections can withstand the load specified on the plate.
■■ A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply 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 isolating switch shall be easily accessible to the customer with the oven installed.
■■ The power supply cable must not touch the hot parts and must be positioned so that it does not exceed 75°C above ambient.
■■ The oven is supplied without a power supply plug and therefore if you are not con- necting directly to the mains, a standardized plug suitable for the load must be fitted.
■■ The plug must be connected to an earthed socket in compliance with safety standards.
■■ To connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply, do not use adapters, reducers or branching devices as they can cause overheating and burning.
■■ Once the appliance has been installed, the switch or socket must always be accessible.
■■ If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or it’s Service Agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
N.B. The connection of the appliance to earth is mandatory.
If the installation requires alterations to the domestic electrical system call a qualified elec- trician. He should also check that the domestic electrical system is suitable for the power drawn by the appliance.
Replacing the power cord must be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with the instructions supplied by the manufacturer and in compliance with established electrical regulations.
